## Abstract

We are amending the Karnal bunt regulations by removing areas in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas from the list of areas quarantined because of infestations of Karnal bunt. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions on the areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas that do not produce wheat, durum wheat, or triticale or that do produce wheat but we have been able to determine that they have no association with Karnal bunt contaminated seed. The interstate movement of regulated articles from these areas does not present a risk of spreading Karnal bunt.
