REVISION OF REGULATIONS

Introductory Note The following revision of the white-pine blister-rust quar antine regulations adds Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to the list of States which have established blisterrust control areas wherein both the planting and possession of current and gooseberry plants are prohibited under State authority.
, The conditions under which Federal pine-shipping permits may be issued are modified so that permits may be granted to authorize the interstate movement of 5-leafed pines which have not been raised from seed under Ribes-free conditions when in the judgment of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine there is little or no risk of such pines being involved in blister-rust infection.
The regulations pertaining to 5-leafed pines are also revised to prohibit their interstate movement when visibly infected with the white-pine blister-rust unless such trees are shipped in a preservative or are authorized and label! under the provisions of regulation 7.
Summary The infected States and District are designated as Connecti cut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Vir ginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

A for the shipment or transportation of 5-leafed pines from any infected State or District, except that in the case of shipments to or between the States of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont, a control-area permit se cured from the proper officer of the State of destination may, until further notice, be substituted for the Federal pine shipping permit.
Pine-shipping permits are issued for pines grown from seed in a nursery which is protected from blister-rust infection by a Ribes-free zone around the premises. See regulation 2, sec. B.
Valid State nursery inspection certificates are also required as to all interstate movement of 5-leafed pines in the United States.

Currant and gooseberry plants shipped from any infected State or District must be either dormant and defoliated or else dipped in lime-sulphur solution 4.5 B. immediately before shipment. See regulation 3-b.
The control-area provision is continued and is extended to Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
