Sec. 301.52— NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 52 (REVISED) 
[Approved March 7, 1939 ; effective March 15, 1939] 
I, H. A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that it is neces- 
sary to quarantine the States of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to prevent the 
spread of infestation of the pink bollworm (Pectinophora goasypieUa Saunders), 
a dangerous insect new to and not heretofore widely prevalent or distributed 
within and throughout the United States. 
Now, therefore, under the authority of section 8 of the Plant. Quarantine Act 
of August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended, I do quarantine the said States 
of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and do order that (1) cotton, wild cotton, 
including all parts of either cotton or wild cotton plants, seed cotton, cotton 
lint, linters, and all other forms of unmanufactured cotton fiber, gin waste, 
cottonseed, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed cake, and meal; (2) bagging and other 
containers and wrappers of cotton and cotton products; (3) railway cars, boats, 
and other vehicles which have been used in conveying cotton or cotton products 
or which are fouled with such products; (4) farm products, farm household 
goods, farm equipment, and, if contaminated with cotton, any other articles, shall 
not be shipped, offered for shipment to a common carrier, received for transpor- 
tation or transported by a common carrier, or carried, transported, moved, or 
allowed to be moved from the States of Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas into or 
through any other State or Territory or District of the United States in maimer 
or method or under conditions other than those prescribed in the regulations 
supplemental hereto: Provided, That the restrictions of this quarantine and of 
the regulations supplemental hereto may be limited to such areas, now or which 
may be hereafter designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as regulated areas, 
in the quarantined States, as, in his judgment, shall be adequate to prevent 
the spread of the said pest. Any such limitation shall be conditioned, however, 
upon the affected State or States providing for and enforcing the control of the 
intrastate movement of the restricted articles under the conditions which apply 
to their interstate movement under existing provisions of the Federal quarantine 
regulations, and upon their enforcing such control and sanitation measures with 
respect to such areas or portions thereof as in the judgment of the Secretary of 
Agriculture, shall be deemed adequate to prevent the intrastate spread therefrom 
of the said insect infestation: Provided further, That whenever, in any year, the 
Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine shall find that facts 
exist as to the pest risk involved in the movement of one or more of the 
articles to which the regulations supplemental hereto apply, making it safe to 
modify, by making less stringent, the restrictions contained in any such regula- 
tions, he shall set forth and publish such finding in administrative instructions, 
specifying the manner in which the applicable regulation shall be made less 
stringent, whereupon such modification shall become effective, for such period 
and for such regulated area or portion thereof as shall be specified in said 
administrative instructions, and every reasonable effort shall be made to give 
publicity to such administrative instructions throughout the affected areas. 7
