Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

A. Certificate or Permit Required

A certificate or permit must accompany the movement of regulated articles from any regulated area into or through any point outside thereof. Regulated articles originating outside of a regulated area may be moved without a certificate or permit if the point of origin is clearly indicated on the shipping document accompanying the regulated articles, provided in the case of articles moved through a regulated area, the regulated articles are protected from infestation, while within regulated areas, to the satisfaction of an inspector.

B. Attachment of Certificates or Permits

When certificates or permits are required, they shall be securely attached to the outside of the container in which the articles are moved except where the certificate or permit is attached to the shipping document and the regulated articles are adequately described on the shipping document or on the certificate or permit, the attachment of the certificate or permit to each of the containers is not required.

C. Issuance of Certificates

Certificates may be issued by an inspector if the regulated articles:

(1) Have originated in noninfested premise in a regulated area and have not been exposed to infestation while within the regulated area;

(2) upon examination, have been found to be free of infestation;

(3) have been treated to destroy infestation in accordance with approved procedures;

(4) have been grown, produced, manufactured, stored or handled in such manner that no infestation would be transmitted thereby.

D. Issuance of Permits

Permits may be issued by an inspector to allow the movement of noncertified regulated articles to locations outside of the regulated areas for particular handling, utilization, processing, or for treatment in accordance with approved procedures, provided the inspector has determined that such movement will not result in the spread of the Japanese beetle.

E. Movement of Regulated Articles

There are no restrictions imposed on the movement of regulated articles within regulated areas unless the articles originate on infested properties and an inspector has determined that a hazard of spread exists and the property owner has been so notified. A property owner so notified may move the specified regulated articles within the regulated area only under conditions approved by an inspector.
