Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Asian longhorned beetle regulations by expanding the quarantined area in the city of Chicago, IL, and adding two new areas in Cook County, IL. As a result of the interim rule, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is restricted. The interim rule was necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the artificial spread of the Asian longhorned beetle to noninfested areas of the United States.
