NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 15 (REVISED) 
(Approved Sept. 20, 1934; effective Oct. 1, 1934) 
I, W. R. Gregg, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that 
certain injurious insects and diseases of sugarcane, new to and not heretofore 
prevalent and widely distributed within and throughout the United States, 
exist in certain foreign countries, and that it is necessary, in order to prevent 
the introduction into the United States of these insects and diseases, to forbid 
the importation into the United States from all foreign countries and localities 
of canes of sugarcane, or parts thereof, sugarcane leaves, and bagasse. 
On and after October 1, 1934, under authority conferred by the Plant Quaran- 
tine Act approved August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended, the importation 
into the United States of canes of sugarcane, or cuttings or parts thereof, sugar- 
cane leaves, and bagasse, from all foreign countries and localities, is prohibited : 
Provided, That this prohibition shall not apply to importations by the United 
States Department of Agriculture for scientific or experimental purposes, nor 
to importations of specific materials which the Department may authorize under 
permit on condition that they have been or are to be so treated, processed, or 
manufactured that, in the judgment of the Department, their entry will involve 
no pest risk. 
This revision of Notice of Quarantine No. 15 shall be effective on and after 
October 1, 1934. 
Done at the city of Washington this 20th day of September 1934. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States Department of Agricul- 
ture. 
[seal] W. R. Gregg, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
