## Abstract

We are quarantining the State of Arizona and a total of six counties in the States of New Mexico and Texas because of infestations of Karnal bunt and are restricting the movement of regulated articles from the quarantined areas. This action is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the artificial spread of Karnal bunt, a serious fungal disease of wheat, durum wheat, and triticale, into noninfected areas of the United States.
