Abstract
We are amending the Mexican fruit fly regulations by removing Willacy County, TX, from the list of quarantined areas and thus removing restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from this area. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions that are no longer needed to prevent the spread of the Mexican fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States. We have determined that the Mexican fruit fly no longer exists in Willacy County, TX, and that the quarantine and restrictions are no longer necessary.
