Permits for the interstate movement of grapefruit, oranges, and other citrus 
fruits from the regulated area may be issued upon determination by the inspector 
that the shipment proposed does not involve risk of spread of the Mexican fruit 
worm. Such determination will be based on compliance with the following 
conditions: 
(a) Grove inspection and sanitation. — The grove in which the fruit was pro- 
duced shall be maintained in compliance with the host-free requirement of these 
regulations and shall be kept free from drops and windfalls throughout the year. 
Such drops and windfalls shall be buried under at least 18 inches of tamped soil 
or otherwise disposed of to the satisfaction of the inspector. The grove shall 
further comply with such other requirements as may be enforced by the State 
of Texas for the suppression of Mexican fruit-worm infestation. Permits may 
be issued for the interstate movement of fruit produced only in such groves as 
have been inspected within 30 days prior to the movement of the fruit concerned 
and have been found free from Mexican fruit-worm infestation.
