Chapter III — Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine 
Part 301 — Domestic Quarantine Notices 
white-fringed beetle regulations modified 
§ 301.72a. Administrative instructions; removal of certification requirements 
for specified articles, (a) Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Chief 
of the Bureau of Entomolgy and Plant Quarantine by the second proviso of 
§ 301.72, Chapter III. Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations [Notice of Quarantine 
No. 72, on account of the white-fringed beetle], all certification requirements for 
the interstate movement from the regulated areas are hereby waived effective 
August 3, 1942, through January 31, 1943, for the following articles and materials 
enumerated in § 301.72-3 : 
(1) Soil, sand, and gravel, as indicated below; (i) Soil, when taken from a 
depth of at least 2 feet below the existing surface, and when entirely free from 
any surface soil to a depth of 2 feet. 
(ii) Sand and gravel when washed, processed, or otherwise treated to the 
satisfaction of the inspector. 
(2) Articles other than soil : When free from soil and when sanitation practices 
as prescribed by the inspector are maintained to his satisfaction, the following 
articles are exempt from certification during the period specified above : 
(i) Potatoes. 
(ii) Lily bulbs, except that freshly harvested or uncured bulbs are not exempt. 
(iii) Forest products such as cordwood, stump wood, logs, lumber, timbers, 
posts, poles, and cross ties. 
(iv) Hay, other than peanut hay; roughage of all kinds, straw, leaves, and 
leafmold. 
(v) Peanuts in shells, and peanut shells. 
(vi) Baled cotton lint, and linters. 
(vii) Brick, tile, stone, cinders, concrete slabs, and building blocks. 
The intensity of infestations has been greatly reduced by drastic suppressive 
measures applied throughout the infested areas. This factor, as well as the 
conditions; of growth, production, or maintenance of the restricted articles, has 
so reduced the danger of dissemination of white-fringed beetles that certifica- 
tion of the exempted articles is no longer necessary.
