RULES AND REGULATIONS SUPPLEMENTAL TO NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 69 
(Approved Feb. 20, 1933 ; effective July 1, 1933) 
Regulation 1. Definitions 
(a) Packing materials. — The expression "packing material", as used in this 
quarantine includes any of the plants or plant products enumerated, w T hen these 
are associated with or accompany any commodity or shipment to serve for 
filling, wrapping, ties, lining, mats, moisture retention, protection, or for any 
other purpose ; and the word " packing ", as used in the expression " packing 
materials " shall include the presence of such materials within, in contact with, 
or accompanying such commodity or shipment. 8 
(b) Soil containing an appreciable admixture of vegetable matter, here 
brought under quarantine only because its content of decaying vegetation or 
plant remains carries a definite pest risk, is to be distinguished from soil of 
purely mineral or earthy composition, which is not covered by this quarantine. 
(c) Inspector. — An inspector of the United States Department of Agriculture. 
Regulation 2. Freedom from Pests 
All packing materials allowed entry under restriction shall be free from 
injurious insects and plant diseases. 
Regulation 3. Entry Inspection 
All packing materials shall be subject to inspection at time of entry. 
Rkgulation 4. Disposition of Materials Found in Violation 
If the inspector shall find packing materials associated with or accompanying 
any commodity or shipment being imported, or to have been imported, in viola- 
tion of this quarantine or of these regulations or shall find them infested or 
infected with injurious insects or plant diseases, he may refuse entry to the 
shipment, or he may seize and destroy or otherwise dispose of such packing ma- 
terial, or he may require it to be replaced, or sterilized, or otherwise treated. 
6 Since it is the packing materials themselves which constitute the danger and not the 
manner of use, it is intended that the definition shall include their presence within or 
accompanying a shipment regardless of their function or relation to a shipment or the 
character of the shipment.
