## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, two interim rules that amended the gypsy moth quarantine and regulations by adding Wisconsin to the list of States quarantined because of gypsy moth and by adding areas in Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin to the list of generally infested areas. These changes affect eight areas in Ohio, eight areas in Virginia, six areas in West Virginia, and four areas in Wisconsin. The interim rules were necessary in order to impose certain restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles to prevent the artificial spread of gypsy moth.
