twigs, branches, bark, roots, trunks, cuttings, and scions of such plants; (2) 
logs or cordwood of such plants; and (3) lumber, crates, boxes, barrels, packing 
cases, and other containers manufactured in whole or in part from such plants 
(unless the wood was entirely free from bark), from any of the above-named

Regulations [B. E. P. Q. — Q. 71, effective on and after February 25, 1935]. 
The Secretary of Agriculture, having given a further public hearing in the 
matter, has determined that it is necessary to revise the quarantine and regu- 
lations for the purpose of extending the regulated areas owing to the existence 
of substantial infections of the Dutch elm disease in Pennsylvania and in addi- 
tional sections of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, and to make other 
modifications. 
ORDER OF THE SECRETARY Of AGRICULTURE 
Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Secretary of Agriculture by 
section 8 of the Plant Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912, as amended (7 
U. S. C. 161), the subpart entitled "DUTCH ELM DISEASE" of Part 301, 
Chapter III, Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations [B. E. P. Q— Q. 71] is hereby 
amended effective October 1, 1941, to read as follows: 
Subpart — Dutch Elm Disease 
quarantine 
§ 301.71. Notice of Quarantine. — Under the authority conferred by section 
S of the Plant Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912, as amended (7 U. S. C. 161), 
the Secretary of Agriculture quarantines the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, 
New York, and Pennsylvania, to prevent the spread of the Dutch elm disease. 
Hereafter, elm plants or parts thereof of all species of the genus Ulmus, irre- 
spective of whether nursery, forest, or privately grown, including (1) trees, 
plants, leaves, twigs, branches, bark, roots, trunks, cuttings, and scions of such 
plants; (2) logs or cordwood of such plants; and (3) lumber, crates, boxes, 
barrels, packing cases, and other containers manufactured in whole or in part 
from such plants (unless the wood is entirely free from bark) shall not be 
shipped, offered for shipment to a common carrier, received for transportation or 
transported by a common carrier, or carried, transported, moved, or allowed 
to be moved from any of said quarantined States into or through any other 
State or Territory or District of the United States in manner or method or 
under conditions other than those prescribed in the regulations hereinafter made 
and amendments thereto : Provided, That the restrictions of this quarantine and 
of the regulations supplemental thereto may be limited to the areas in a quaran- 
tined State now, or which may hereafter be, designated by the Secretary of 
Agriculture as regulated areas when, in the judgment of the Secretary, the 
enforcement of the aforesaid regulations as to such regulated areas shall be 
adequate to prevent the spread of the Dutch elm disease: Provided further, 
That such limitations shall be conditioned upon the said State providing for 
and enforcing such control measures with respect to such regulated areas 
as, in the judgment of the Secretary of Agriculture, shall be deemed adequate 
to prevent the spread of the Dutch elm disease therefrom to other pans of the 
State: And provided further, That certain articles classed as restricted herein 
may because of the nature of their growth or production or their manufactured 
or processed condition, be exempted by administrative instructions issued by 
the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine when, in his 
judgment, such articles are considered innocuous as carriers of infection: And 
provided further, That whenever, in any year, the Chief of the Bureau of En- 
tomology and Plant Quarantine shall find that faets exist as to the pest risk 
involved in the movement of one or more of the articles to which the regula- 
tions supplemental hereto apply, making it safe to modify, by making less 
stringent, the restrictions contained in any such regulations, he shall set forth 
and publish such finding in administrative instructions, specifying the manner 
in which the applicable regulation should be made less stringent, whereupon 
such modification shall become effective, for such period and for such regulated 
area or portion thereof as shall be specified in said administrative instructions, 
and every reasonable effort shall be made to give publicity to such administra- 
tive instructions throughout the affected areas.
