## Abstract

We are amending the Mexican fruit fly regulations by designating a portion of San Diego County, CA, as a quarantined area and restricting the interstate movement of regulated articles from that area. This action is necessary to prevent the spread of the Mexican fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States.
