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 six counties in South Carolina and nine counties in Tennessee and restricting the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas. This interim rule was necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the imported fire ant to noninfested areas of the United States.
