The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar
(Linnaeus), is a destructive pest of
forest, shade, and commercial trees such
as nursery stock and Christmas trees.
The gypsy moth regulations (contained
in 7 CFR 301.45–1 through 301.45–12
and referred to below as the regulations)
restrict the interstate movement of
regulated articles from generally
infested areas to prevent the artificial
spread of the gypsy moth. Section

RIN 0579–AD29
Citrus Canker, Citrus Greening, and
Asian Citrus Psyllid; Interstate
Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting as a final
rule, with nonsubstantive changes, an
interim rule that amended the
regulations governing the interstate
movement of regulated articles from
areas quarantined for citrus canker,
citrus greening, and/or Asian citrus
psyllid (ACP) to allow the movement of
regulated nursery stock under a
certificate to any area within the United
States. In order to be eligible to move
regulated nursery stock, a nursery had
to enter into a compliance agreement
with the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service that specified the
conditions under which the nursery
stock must be grown, maintained, and
shipped. The interim rule also amended
the regulations that allow the movement
of regulated nursery stock from an area
quarantined for ACP, but not for citrus
greening, to amend the existing
regulatory requirements for the issuance
of limited permits for the interstate
movement of the nursery stock. The
interim rule was necessary on an
immediate basis in order to provide
nursery stock producers in areas
quarantined for citrus canker, citrus
greening, and/or ACP with the ability to
ship regulated nursery stock to markets
within the United States that would
otherwise be unavailable to them due to
the prohibitions and restrictions
contained in the regulations while
continuing to provide adequate
safeguards to prevent the spread of the
three pests into currently unaffected
areas of the United States.
DATES: Effective Date: November 25,
2013.
