## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, two interim rules regarding West Indian fruit fly. The first interim rule established regulations restricting the movement of regulated articles from a newly established quarantined area in Cameron County, TX. The second interim rule removed the quarantine on that portion of Cameron County, TX, and thus removed the restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from that area. The first interim rule was necessary to prevent the spread of West Indian fruit fly to noninfested areas of the United States, and the second interim rule was necessary to reflect our determination that the West Indian fruit fly had been eradicated from Cameron County, TX.
