B. P. Q.— 345. October 29, 1932. 
ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS -PERMITS FOR THE INTERSTATE MOVEMENT OF 
COTTON AND COTTON PRODUCTS FROM THE PINK-BOLLWORM REGULATED AREA 
OF FLORIDA 
[Issued under Regulation 5, Quarantine No. 52, as revised] 
[Approved October 29, 1932; effective October 29, 1932] 
Paragraph (2- a) of section A, regulation 5, of the revised rules and regulations 
supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 52, effective October 29, 1932, pro- 
vides, as one of the conditions governing the issuance of permits, authorizing the 
interstate movement of cotton lint, linters, and samples, that: 
"(a) If the material was produced in areas in which the pink-bollworm infesta- 
tion is so light that in the judgment of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine fumiga- 
tion may be omitted, permits may be issued on condition that the material either 
has been given standard or high-density compression and when ready for trans- 
portation has a density of at least 22 pounds to the cubic foot, or has been passed 
through special roller equipment in such manner that in the judgment of the 
inspector all cottonseed and larvae therein would be crushed." 
Notice is hereby given that the regulated area of Florida [namely, the counties 
of Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Gilchrist, and Union] is designated as 
an area in which pink-bollworm infestation is so light that in the judgment of 
the Bureau of Plant Quarantine fumigation of the above material may be omitted 
without involving risk of spread of the pink bollworm. 
Since compression and seed sterilization equipment is inadequate or lacking in 
the regulated area of Florida, compresses located outside of but in the vicinity of 
that area will be designated for the compression of the cotton lint and linters 
produced therein, and permits will be issued for the movement of lint from the 
regulated area to such compresses. Such compresses will be required to segre- 
gate, and to maintain the identity of, lint and linters obtained from the regulated 
area; not to ship, move, or allow to be moved such lint or linters from the compress 
except under permit; and to comply with such other safeguards as may be 
required by the inspector. 
In the same manner, oil mills located outside of but in the vicinity of the regu- 
lated area may be designated to crush cottonseed originating in that area. Such 
seed shall be sterilized before shipment or transportation to the oil mill, and shall 
be transported to the mill only under permit. Designated mills will be required 
to segregate seed received from the regulated area; to crush it promptly on 
receipt; to prevent any such seed from escaping the crushing process, and to 
adopt such other safeguards as may be required by the inspector. Cleaning of 
the mill will be required after completion of the crushing for the season. Cotton 
lint, delint, samples, and grabbots ginned from seed from a regulated area by any 
oil mill designated under this paragraph must under the quarantine regulations 
be returned to the regulated area or to an authorized compress for compression, 
or given such other treatment as may be prescribed by the inspector. 
Except as specifically provided herein under the authority of the rules and 
regulations supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 52, as revised effective 
October 29, 1932, all cotton, cotton products, and other restricted articles shall, 
as a condition of interstate movement from the regulated area of Florida, strictly 
comply with all the requirements of those rules and regulations.

Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine.
