Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service May 30, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Asian Longhorned Beetle; Quarantined Areas in Massachusetts, Ohio, and New York
Document Number: 2012-13111
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-05-30
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are amending the Asian longhorned beetle regulations to make changes to the list of quarantined areas by adding portions of Worcester County, MA, and Clermont County, OH, to the list of quarantined areas. We are also removing a portion of Suffolk County, NY, from the list of quarantined areas based on our determination that the area meets our criteria for removal. These actions are 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 are no longer necessary.
