REVISION OF SUGARCANE QUARANTINE NO. 16 (DOMESTIC) 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
Revision of this quarantine is now desirable to bring it into conformity 
with the recently revised foreign sugarcane Quarantine No. 15, and thus to 
provide control over the domestic movement of bagasse and other sugarcane 
materials from Hawaii and Puerto Rico by permitting such movement only 
under conditions which the Department believes to be safe. 
Lee A. Strong, 
Chief of Bureau. 
NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 16 (REVISED) 
(Approved Dec. 8, 1934; effective Jan. 1, 19".." i 
I, M. L. Wilson, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined, and 
notice is hereby given, that certain injurious insects and diseases of sugarcane, 
new to and not heretofore widely prevalent or distributed within and through- 
out the United States, exist in the Territories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, 
and that, in order to prevent the introduction of these insects and diseases 
into any other Territory, State, or District of the United States, it is necessary 
to quarantine the said Territories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico. 
Now, therefore, under authority conferred by the Plant Quarantine Act of 
August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended, I do hereby quarantine the Ter- 
ritories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico. On and after January 1, 1035, it shall 
be unlawful to move any canes of sugarcane, or cuttings or parts thereof, 
or sugarcane leaves, or bagasse, from the Territories of Hawaii and Puerto 
Rico into or through any other Territory, State, or District of the United 
States : Provided, That this prohibition shall not apply to the movement of 
the materials mentioned by the United States Department of Agriculture for 
scientific or experimental purposes, nor to the movement 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 movement will involve no pest risk.
