## Abstract

We are amending the witchweed quarantine and regulations by adding and removing areas in North Carolina and South Carolina from the list of regulated areas. These changes affect five counties in North Carolina and two counties in South Carolina. These actions are necessary in order to prevent the artificial spread of witchweed from areas where the weed has been detected and to remove restrictions that are no longer necessary on the interstate movement of regulated articles from areas where witchweed has been eradicated.
