Abstract
We are amending our regulations concerning imported plants and plant products to prohibit the importation of potato tubers from Bermuda and to prohibit the importation of potato plants from Newfoundland and a portion of Central Saanich, British Columbia, Canada. These changes appear necessary to prevent the introduction of foreign potato diseases and insect pests into the United States. We are also reorganizing and streamlining the regulations concerning the importation of potatoes into the United States. These changes remove unnecessary regulations and relieve restrictions that no longer appear warranted.
