DETERMINATION OF THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE 
The Secretary of Agriculture, having determined that it was necessary to 
quarantine the States of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachu- 
setts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is- 
land, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, to 
prevent the spread of the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica Newm.), a danger- 
ous, insect new to and not theretofore widely prevalent or distributed within 
and throughout the United States, and having given the public hearing required 
by law, promulgated the thirteenth revision of Notice of Quarantine 301.48, 
part 301, chapter III, title 7, Code of Federal Regulations, and rules and regu- 
lations supplemental thereto, governing the movement of (1) fruits and vege- 
tables; (2) nursery, ornamental, and greenhouse stock, and other plants; and 
(3) sand, soil, earth, peat, compost, and manure, from any of the above- 
named States or the District of Columbia, into or through any other State 
or Territory or District of the United States, §§ 301.48-1 to 14, inclusive, part 
301, chapter III, title 7, Code of Federal Regulations [B. E. P. Q.— Q. 48, effec- 
tive on and after February 12, 1941]. 
I have determined that it is necessary to revise the aforesaid rules and regu- 
lations for the purpose of extending the regulated areas owing to the dis- 
covery of substantial infestations of the Japanese beetle in additional sections, 
and to make other modifications.
