SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 
37 
Secretary of Agriculture prescribes regulations. Hereafter the following articles 
(as specifically named in the regulations supplemental hereto, in modifications 
thereof, or in administrative instructions as provided in the regulations supple- 
mental hereto), which are capable of carrying the aforesaid insect infestations, viz, 
(1) nursery stock and other stipulated plants or plant products; (2) soil inde- 
pendent of, or in connection with, nursery stock, plants, or other products; or (3) 
other articles as stipulated in § 301.72-3; or (4) live white-fringed beetles in any 
stage of development, shall not be transported by any person, firm, or corporation 
from any quarantined State into or through any other State or Territory or 
District of the United States, under conditions other than those prescribed in the 
regulations supplemental hereto: Provided, That the restrictions of this quaran- 
tine and of the regulations supplemental hereto may be limited to such areas, 
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 or pests. 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 and enforcing such other 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 said insect infestation: And 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 regu- 
lations, he shall set forth and publish such finding in administrative instructions, 
specifying the manner in which the applicable regulations should 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 adminis- 
trative instructions, and every reasonable effort shall be made to give publicity 
to such administrative instructions throughout the affected areas.
