West Indian Fruit Fly; Removal of Quarantined Area

We are amending the West Indian fruit fly regulations by removing the quarantine on a portion of Cameron County, TX, 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 West Indian fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States. We have determined that the West Indian fruit fly has been eradicated from this portion of Cameron County, TX, and that the quarantine and restrictions are no longer necessary. This portion of Cameron County, TX, was the only area in the continental United States quarantined for the West Indian fruit fly. Therefore, as a result of this action, there are no longer any areas in the continental United States quarantined for the West Indian fruit fly.
