Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service October 5, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the noxious weed and imported seed regulations by adding South African ragwort (Senecio inaequidens DC.) and Madagascar ragwort (Senecio madagascariensis Poir.) to the list of terrestrial noxious weeds and to the list of seeds with no tolerances applicable to their introduction. That action was necessary to prevent the artificial spread of these noxious weeds into the United States.
