## Abstract

We are establishing criteria for levels of risk for areas with regard to Karnal bunt and for the movement of regulated articles based on those risk levels, and are establishing criteria for the planting of seed from Karnal bunt host crops. These actions are warranted because they relieve unnecessary restrictions on areas regulated because of Karnal bunt, while guarding against the artificial spread of that disease. We are also making final, with some changes, the Karnal Bunt regulations established in a series of interim rules, and are removing some areas from the list of areas regulated because of Karnal bunt.
