Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, with one change, an interim rule that amended the domestic quarantine regulations by quarantining a small area in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, NY, and a small area in the vicinity of Amityville, NY, because of infestation of the Asian longhorned beetle and by restricting the interstate movement of regulated articles from these quarantined areas. These actions are necessary to prevent the artificial spread of this plant pest from infested areas in the State of New York to noninfested areas of the United States.
