## Abstract

We are amending the Japanese beetle quarantine and regulations to add Minnesota and Wisconsin to the list of quarantined States and to provide greater specificity about what actions must be taken to prevent the spread of Japanese beetle by aircraft from regulated airports. The actions specified by these amendments are necessary to prevent the spread of Japanese beetle into noninfested areas of the United States. We are also amending the regulations to allow carriers at regulated airports the option of performing some activities under a compliance agreement with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, rather than in the presence of an inspector.
