QUARANTINE (NO. 6) 
MODIFICATION OF DATE-PALM SCALE INSECT QUARANTINE AND REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The following amendment to the quarantine and regulations issued to prevent 
the interstate spread of the scale insects attacking dates, removes the Phoenico- 
coccus scale (Phoenicococcus marlatti) from consideration. *It has been found that 
this insect is not serious commercially. Accordingly, evidence of freedom from 
the Parlatoria scale will hereafter constitute the basis for isstiing Federal permits 
for the shipment or transportation of date palms or date-palm offshoots from the 
regulated areas; namely, Imperial County and that part of Riverside County 
lying east of the San Bernardino meridian in California; Yuma, Maricopa, and 
Pinal Counties in Arizona, and Webb County in Texas.
