Cactoblastis cactorum - Regulations
Proposed rule: South American Cactus Moth; Territorial and Import Regulations (February 23, 2011) (.pdf or text format)
- Summary: We are proposing to amend the Hawaiian and territorial quarantine regulations to prohibit the movement of South American cactus moth host material, including nursery stock and plant parts for consumption to the mainland and Guam from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and to allow South American cactus moth host material to be moved among Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are also proposing to amend the foreign quarantine regulations to prohibit the importation of South American cactus moth host material, including nursery stock and plant parts for consumption, from any country or portion of a country infested with South American cactus moth. These actions would help prevent the introduction or spread of South American cactus moth into noninfested areas of the United States, relieve unnecessary restrictions on movement of host material among infested areas of the United States, and provide consistency to the regulations.
- How to submit comments:
- We will consider all comments that we receive on or before April 25, 2011.
Affirmation of interim rule as final rule; South American Cactus Moth Quarantine; Addition of the State of Louisiana, effective December 27, 2010.
A Final Rule for regulating the domestic movement of hosts of the South American Cactus Moth, Cactoblastis cactorum, effective June 8, 2009.
Contact: Dr. Robyn Rose USDA, APHIS, PPQ, for any questions/clarifications.
