BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE 
[July-Sept. 
New York, and Connecticut, States included under the quarantine now current. 
It also places under Federal quarantine parts of Pennsylvania, where infection 
had been found but heretofore included under State quarantine only. Placing 
portions of Pennsylvania under Federal regulation will, it is believed, facilitate 
the movement of restricted articles within regulated areas of the quarantined 
States. 
The revision provides for removing from the regulated area the town of 
Huntington in Suffolk County, N. Y., and for adding to the area under regula- 
tion parts of the counties of Berks, Bucks, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Mont- 
gomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and Susquehanna in Pennsylvania ; New 
London in Connecticut ; Burlington and Ocean in New Jersey ; and Albany, 
Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, and Sullivan in New York. 
Provision is made in this revision whereby the Chief, Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine, may modify restriction of the regulations by making 
them less stringent upon determination of safety as to pest risk.

SUMMARY 
The areas covered by these regulations comprise parts of Connecticut, New 
Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania as designated in § 301.71-3. 
These regulations prohibit the interstate movement from the regulated areas 
of all parts of elms of all species, except that elm lumber or products manu- 
factured from or containing elm wood, if entirely free from bark, are exempt 
from restriction. 
No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement wholly within the 
regulated area. 
Shipments originating outside the regulated area may be moved through the 
regulated area only on through billing. Restricted articles trucked through 
the regulated area in summer must be covered. 
DETERMINATION OF THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE 
The Secretary of Agriculture, having given the public hearing required by 
law and having determined that it was necessary to quarantine the States 
of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, to prevent the spread of the Dutch 
elm disease (Ceratostomella ulmi Buisman (Oraphium ulmi Schwarz)), a dan- 
gerous plant disease not theretofore widely prevalent or distributed within 
and throughout the United States, on February 20, 1935, promulgated Notice of 
Quarantine 301.71, Part 301, Chapter III, Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations,

plants or parts thereof of all species of the genus Ulmus, irrespective of 
whether nursery, forest, or privately grown, including (1) trees, plants, leaves,
