## Abstract

On July 13, 1999, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service published a direct final rule. (See 64 FR 37663-37665, Docket No. 96-069-3.) The direct final rule notified the public of our intention to amend the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual, which is incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations, to allow navel oranges from Mexico and areas of the United States that are infested with plant pests in the genus Anastrepha, which includes A. ludens, the Mexican fruit fly, to be treated with a high-temperature forced-air process that was approved for tangerines, oranges other than navel oranges, and grapefruit from these areas. We did not receive any written adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments in response to the direct final rule.
