final rule.

area for European larch canker to

human-assisted transmission of
European larch canker from infested
areas to noninfested areas.

we are adopting as a final rule the
interim rule published at 76 FR 52543–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
European larch canker (ELC),
Lachnellula willkommi (Dasycypha), is a
serious plant disease caused by a fungus
that can kill mature and immature
species of the genus Larix (larch) and
Pseudolarix (Golden larch).
Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart–
European Larch Canker’’ (7 CFR 301.91
through 301.91–9, referred to below as
the regulations), we restrict the
interstate movement of certain regulated
articles from regulated areas to prevent
the spread of ELC. These regulations,
which were established in May 1984,
list parts of several counties in Maine as
regulated areas.
In an interim rule 1 effective and
published in the Federal Register on
August 23, 2011 (76 FR 52543–52544,
Docket No. APHIS–2011–0029), we
amended the regulations to expand the
regulated area for ELC to include
additional areas in Maine. We also
corrected some misidentifications of
previously listed regulated areas.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
October 24, 2011.
We did not receive any comments.
Therefore, for the reasons given in the
interim rule, we are adopting the
interim rule as a final rule without
change.
This action also affirms the
information contained in the interim
rule concerning Executive Order 12866
and the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Further, for this action, the Office of
Management and Budget has waived its
review under Executive Order 12866.
