Atlantic seaboard north of and including Baltimore. Among- other modifications 
it is to be noted that okra will not now be included in the admissible list. This 
is on account of evidence recently obtained indicating that infestations of pink 
hollworm have occurred in commercial shipments of okra. Fresh banana leaves 
free from stalk and midrib will now be allowed to move without certification ; 
yam, mangosteen, papaya, and apio (celery root), which have been brought up 
for consideration since the first amendment of these regulations was issued on 
December 13, 1932, will now be included among the products exempt from cer- 
tification ; and, in the interest of clarity, a few minor changes in product names 
are made herein. 
Finally, provision has been made to authorize inclusion of other requested 
additional products for shipment when it can be established that, under suit- 
able treatment, or as packed and shipped, their movement can be safely permitted. 
Determination of the Secretary of Agriculture 
The Secretary of Agriculture, having determined that it was necessary to 
quarantine Puerto Rico, in order to prevent the spread therefrom of certain in- 
jurious insects, including the West Indian fruitfly (Anastrepha fraterculus Wied.) 
and the bean pod borer (Maruca testulalis Geyer), not theretofore widely prev- 
alent or distributed within and throughout the United States, and having given 
the public hearing required by law, promulgated Notice of Quarantine 301.53, 
Part 301, Chapter III, Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations, and rules and regu- 
lations supplemental thereto governing the movement of fruits and vegetables 
from Puerto Rico, §§ 301.58-1 to 12, inclusive, Part 301, Chapter III, Title 7, Code 
of Federal Regulations [B. E. P. Q— Q. 58, effective July 1, 1925, as amended], 
I have now determined that the West Indian fruitfly, designated in the afore- 
said Notice of Quarantine and rules and regulations as AnastrepTia fraterculus 
(Wied.), includes several distinct species, recognized as A. suspensa (Loew) and 
A. momMnpraeoptans Sein and probably still other fruitfly species. For this 
reason and for the reason that it appears that the provisions of the rules and regu- 
lations supplemental to the said Notice of Quarantine may safely be liberalized, 
I have further determined that the said Notice of Quarantine and rules and regu- 
lations should be revised. 
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, "Hawaiian and Puerto Rican Fruits and Vegetables," 
of Part 301, Chapter III, Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations [B. E. P. Q — Q. 58, 
as amended], is hereby revised, effective January 22, 1941, to read as follows: 
Subpart — Puerto Rican Fruits and Vegetables 
quarantine 
§ 301.58 Notice of Quarantine. — Under the authority conferred upon the Secre- 
tary of Agriculture by Section 8 of the Plant Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912, 
as amended (7 U. S. C. 161), Puerto Rico is quarantined effective on and after 
January 22, 1941, in order to prevent the spread therefrom of certain injurious 
insects, including the fruitflies Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), and A. mom- 
oinpraeoptans Sein, and probably still other fruitfly species, and the bean pod 
borer Maruca testulalis (Geyer), not heretofore widely prevalent or distributed 
within and throughout the United States. As provided in the said Plant Quar- 
antine Act, fruits and vegetables shall not be shipped, offered for shipment to a 
common carrier, received for transportation or transported by a common carrier, 
transported, moved, or allowed to be moved from Puerto Rico 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 rules and regulations 
supplemental hereto and in amendments thereof: Provided, That whenever the 
Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine shall find that facts 
exist as to the pest risk involved in the movement of one or more of the articles 
to which the regulations 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 findings in administrative instructions, specifying
