Melon Fruit Fly; Removal of Quarantined Area

We are amending the melon fruit fly regulations by removing the quarantine on a portion of Los Angeles County, CA, and by removing the restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from that area. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions that are no longer needed to prevent the spread of the melon fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States. We have determined that the melon fruit fly has been eradicated from this portion of Los Angeles County, CA, and that the quarantine and restrictions are no longer necessary. This portion of Los Angeles County, CA, was the only area in the continental United States quarantined for the melon fruit fly. Therefore, as a result of this action, there are no longer any areas in the continental United States quarantined for the melon fruit fly.
