WHITE-FRINGED BEETLE QUARANTINE

Introductory note. This revision of the Quarantine and regulations is made primarily for the purpose of placing the State of Georgia under quarantine on account of the white-fringed beetle and placing under regulation parts of 23
counties in Georgia. Minor additions to the regulated area in several counties of Alabama and Mississippi are made. No changes in the regulated areas of Florida, Louisiana, or North Carolina and no changes in regulated articles are made by this revisioh.
A public hearing was held September 12, 1946, to consider the advisability of extending the Federal quarantine on ac count of the white-fringed beetle to in clude both the State of Georgia and the State of South Carolina. Facts devel oped and submitted at the hearing dem onstrated that white-fringed beetles were well established in many localities within the State of Georgia. Only one infestation is known to occur in a re stricted area in the State of South Caro lina. This involves a small plot in which nursery stock from an infested nursery in Georgia was planted. All of this nur sery stock has been treated under the supervision of Federal and State inspec-r tors in such manner as to render it en tirely free of white-fringed beetles and the infested plot, wlich vflll be thor oughly treated with insecticides, is being maintained under the surveillance of in spectors to preclude the movement of any soil or other products which might spread the beetle. This area has been thoroughly inspected; however, further inspection is necessary to determine if infestations occur on adjacent or nearby lands. Furthermore, articles from areas in another State where infestation is well established have been transported into several other localities in South Carolina and there is a probability that infesta tions may be disclosed when seasonal conditions will permit further inspec tions.

On the basis of facts developed and evidence submitted at the hearing, the State of Georgia is being placed under quarantine at this time while quarantine action with respect to the State of South Carolina is being held in abeyance pend ing further investigations.
The Secretary of Agriculture has de termined that it is necessary further to revise the white-fringed beetle quaran tine and regulations supplemental there to which were last revised effective De cember 12,1945, 7 CFR 1945 Supp. 301.72
