Abstract
We are amending the Karnal bunt regulations to make changes to the list of areas or fields regulated because of Karnal bunt, a fungal disease of wheat. We are adding certain areas in Arizona to the list of regulated areas either because they were found during surveys to contain a bunted wheat kernel, or because they are within the 3-mile- wide buffer zone around fields or areas affected with Karnal bunt. We are also removing certain areas from the list of regulated areas in Riverside County, CA, because recently completed detection and delineating surveys show them to be free of Karnal bunt. These actions are necessary to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt into noninfected areas of the United States and to relieve restrictions that are no longer warranted.
