## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, with one change, an interim rule that amended the pine shoot beetle regulations by adding 78 counties in Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wisconsin to the list of quarantined areas. The interim rule was necessary to prevent the spread of the pine shoot beetle, a pest of pine products, into noninfested areas of the United States. This final rules makes one change to the map of regulated counties that appeared in the interim rule to add a county that mistakenly was not included on the map.
