regulated area. 
(b) Conditions governing the issuance of certificates and permits. — For the 
purpose of certification of nursery and ornamental stock, nurseries, greenhouses, 
and other premises concerned in the movement of such stock will be classified 
as follows : 
(1) Class I. — Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the 
movement of nursery and ornamental stock on or within approximately 500 
feet of which no infestation has been found may be classified as class I. Upon 
compliance with the requirements of paragraph (b) (7) of this section nursery 
and ornamental stock may be certified by the inspector for shipment from such 
premises without further inspection, and without meeting the safeguards pre- 
scribed as a condition of interstate shipment of plants originating in nurseries 
or greenhouses of class III. 
(2) Class III. — (i) Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in 
the movement of nursery and ornamental stock on which either grubs in the 
soil or one or more beetles have been found, will be classified as class III, 
provided there are maintained on the premises subdivided class I areas, certified 
houses, frames, or plots or other certified areas. Such classification will not 
be granted to nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises that do not maintain 
certified or subdivided areas and require only infrequent certification. Such 
classification also may be given to nurseries, etc., where one or more beetles or 
grubs are found in the immediate proximity (within approximately 500 feet) of 
such nurseries, etc., on adjacent property or properties. In the case of nursery 
properties under single ownership and management but represented by parcels 
of land widely separated, such parcels may be independently classified either 
as class I or class III upon compliance with such conditions and safeguards as 
shall be required by the inspector. Similarly, unit nursery properties, which 
would otherwise fall in class III, may be open to subdivision, for the purpose 
of rating such subdivisions in classes I or III, when in the judgment of the 
inspector such action is warranted by scanty infestation limited to a portion 
of the nursery concerned : Provided, That the subdivision containing the infesta- 
tion shall be clearly marked by boundaries of a permanent nature which shall 
be approximately 500 feet beyond the point where the infestation occurs.
