## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Mexican fruit fly regulations by removing the regulated portion of San Diego County, CA, from the list of regulated areas. We have determined that the Mexican fruit fly has been eradicated from this area and that restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from this area are no longer necessary to prevent the spread of the Mexican fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States. This action relieves unnecessary restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from the previously regulated area. As a result of the interim rule, there are no longer any areas regulated for the Mexican fruit fly in the State of California.
