Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Karnal bunt regulations by prohibiting grain grown in a regulated area from being used as seed outside the regulated areas and by removing the requirement that wheat seed, durum wheat seed, and triticale seed that originates within a regulated area be treated with a fungicide before it may be planted within a regulated area. The interim rule was necessary to help to prevent the artificial spread of Karnal bunt to fields outside the regulated area and to remove a treatment requirement that we determined to be unnecessary.
