Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Mediterranean fruit fly regulations by removing a portion of Los Angeles County, CA, from the list of quarantined areas. The interim rule was necessary to relieve the restrictions that were no longer needed to prevent the spread of Mediterranean fruit fly to noninfested areas of the United States. As a result of the interim rule, there are no longer any areas in the continental United States quarantined because of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
