## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, with one change, an interim rule that amended the Mediterranean fruit fly regulations by adding two types of lemons to the list of regulated articles; clarifying the requirement for cleaning and waxing lemon (Citrus limon), a regulated article; reducing the rate of technical grade malathion required for treating premises for the Mediterranean fruit fly; and removing the requirement that malathion bait spray treatment be applied by ground equipment. These actions were necessary to prevent the spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States and to lessen restrictions that might cause an unnecessary economic burden upon the public. The change in this final rule is a technical one to correct the amount of protein hydrolysate to be used in the malathion bait spray and to clarify whether ``ounces'' refers to fluid ounces or ounces by weight.
