Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the imported fire ant regulations by designating as quarantined areas all or portions of 2 counties in Arkansas, 14 counties in North Carolina, and 19 counties in Tennessee. As a result of that action, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is restricted. That action was necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the imported fire ant to noninfested areas of the United States. We also removed references to the Imported Fire Ant Program Manual in the appendix to the imported fire ant regulations.
