RULES AND REGULATIONS SUPPLEMENTAL TO NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 70 
GOVERNING THE ENTRANCE OF ELM LOGS 
(Approved Oct. 21, 1933; effective Oct. 21, 1933) 
Regulation 1. Permit 
Elm logs shall not be imported unless a permit therefor has been issued 
by the Secretary of Agriculture. Applications for such permit may be made 
to the Bureau of Plant Quarantine, Washington, D.C., giving the importer's 
name and address, the weight or quantity of logs, the country of origin, the 
port through which the entry will be made, and the intended destination. 
Regulation 2. Notice of Arrival 
Immediately upon arrival of a shipment of elm logs at the port of first 
arrival, the importer shall submit to the Secretary of Agriculture, through the 
collector of customs, on forms provided for the purpose, a notice in duplicate 
stating the number of the permit, quantity or weight of the shipment, the date 
of arrival, the name of the vessel, the dock or pier where the shipment will 
be unloaded, and the name of the broker or agent. 
Regulation 3. Freedom from Bark and Insects 
Elm logs must be free at time of importation from bark and from wood- 
infesting insects, and shall be handled and stored so as to avoid infestation 
with such insects until they have been treated as provided in regulation 4 
or removed from the country or destroyed 
' Regulation 4. Treatment a Condition of Entry 
As a condition of entry all importations of elm logs shall be given within 
20 days after arrival under the supervision of an inspector of the Department 
of Agriculture, and before the removal of any waste or trimming, a treatment 
with hot water or steam in such manner as to subject every part of the 
interior of each log to a temperature of not less than 180° F. for at least 2 
hours, or by other approved treatment. 
Unless within 20 days after the date of arrival of a shipment at the port 
at which the formal entry was filed, the importation has received the required 
treatment, due notice of which shall be given to the collector of customs by 
the inspector, demand will be made by the collector for redelivery of the ship- 
ment into customs custody under the terms of the entry bond, and if such re- 
delivery is not made the shipment shall be removed from the country or 
destroyed. 
Regulation 5. Inspection and Safeguard Provisions 
All elm logs imported under the provisions of this quarantine shall be subject 
to inspection by an inspector of the Department of Agriculture both at the 
time of entry and at any time thereafter until disposed of, as provided in 
regulation 4. If the inspector shall find that because of the presence of 
wood-infesting insects, or improper storage pending treatment, a definite risk 
of spreading the Dutch elm disease or insect carriers thereof exists, he shall so 
notify the permittee in writing, prescribing safeguards for reducing or eliminat- 
ing such risk. If thereafter the prescribed safeguards are not put into effect 
as directed the logs or dangerous parts thereof may be seized, destroyed, or 
otherwise disposed of.
