revision of quarantine and regulations 
Introdl t ctory Note 
The following revision of the pink bollworm quarantine and regulations is 
issued primarily to clarify the requirements by some rearrangement of the sub- 
ject matter of the various restrictions. To meet the need for a more flexible 
means of administering certain requirements, particularly those of a special 
nature such as may relate to only part of a regulated area, or a limited period 
of the year, administrative instructions, circulars of the B. E. P. Q. series, will 
be employed. The Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine has 
accordingly been authorized in the notice of quarantine to modify by administra- 
tive instructions restrictions in accordance with the facts as to pest risk. 
No change has been made in the regulated areas in this revision. 
The section numbers which appear in this document agree with the section 
numbers in the Code of Federal Regulations now in process of publication.
