Areas in Massachusetts, Ohio, and

Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as
final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the Asian longhorned
beetle regulations by adding portions of
Worcester County, MA, and Clermont
County, OH, to the list of quarantined
areas and by removing a portion of
Suffolk County, NY, from the list of
quarantined areas. The interim rule was
necessary to prevent the artificial spread
of Asian longhorned beetle to
noninfested areas of the United States
and to relieve restrictions on certain
areas that were no longer necessary.
DATES: Effective on September 21, 2012,
we are adopting as a final rule the
interim rule published at 77 FR 31720–
31722 on May 30, 2012.

SUMMARY:
Background
In an interim rule 1 effective and
published on May 30, 2012, in the
Federal Register (77 FR 31720–31722,
Docket No. APHIS–2012–0003), we
amended the Asian longhorned beetle
regulations in 7 CFR part 301 by adding
portions of Worcester County, MA, and
Clermont County, OH, to the list of
quarantined areas in § 301.51–3(c). In
addition, the interim rule removed the
villages of Bayshore, East Islip, and Islip
Terrace in the Town of Islip, Suffolk
County, NY, from the list of quarantined
areas in § 301.51–3(c) based on our
determination that those areas meet our
criteria for release from regulation. That
action relieved restrictions that were no
longer necessary on the interstate
movement of regulated articles from that
area.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before July
30, 2012. We received no comments by
that date. 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.

Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the plum pox regulations
to provide for the payment of
compensation to eligible owners of nonfruit-bearing ornamental tree nurseries
and to increase the amount of

eligible owners of commercial stone
fruit orchards and fruit tree nurseries
whose trees are required to be destroyed
in order to prevent the spread of plum
pox. The interim rule also provided
updated instructions for the submission
of claims for compensation. These
changes were necessary to provide
adequate compensation to persons who
are economically affected by the plum
pox quarantine and the associated State
and Federal eradication efforts.

we are adopting as a final rule the
interim rule published at 77 FR 5381–
