## Abstract

We are amending the Mexican fruit fly regulations by removing a portion of Los Angeles County, CA, from the list of regulated areas and removing restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from that area. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions that are no longer necessary to prevent the spread of the Mexican fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States.
