## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the regulations to make changes to the list of areas regulated because of Karnal bunt, a fungal disease of wheat. The interim rule removed certain areas in Arizona and Texas from the list of regulated areas based on our determination that the fields in those areas met our criteria for release from regulation. That action was necessary to relieve restrictions that were no longer warranted.
