Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service August 31, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the gypsy moth regulations by adding one county in Ohio, one county in West Virginia, and two counties in Wisconsin to the list of generally infested areas based on the detection of infestations of gypsy moth in those counties. As a result of the interim rule, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is restricted. The interim rule was necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the gypsy moth to noninfested States.
