Abstract
We are amending the Mediterranean fruit fly regulations by expanding the current quarantined area in Hillsborough County, FL, and adding areas in Manatee and Polk Counties, FL, to the list of quarantined areas. The regulations restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined areas. This action is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly into noninfested areas of the continental United States.
