UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION 
BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE 
FOREIGN QUARANTINE NOTICES 
AMENDMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS PRESCRIBING METHOD 
OF TREATMENT OF CERTAIN FRUITS FROM MEXICO 
Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine by i 319.56-2 of the regulations supplemental to the Fruit and 
Vegetable Quarantine (Notice of Quarantine No. 56, 7 CFR 319.56), the administra- 
tive instructions (7 CFR Supp. 319.56-2g) prescribing methods of treatment of 
oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and Manila mangoes from Mexico are hereby amended 
in the following respects : 
1. Section 319.56-2& (a) (1) is amended to read as follows: 
(1) Either of the approved vapor-heat schedules of treatment specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section will meet the treatment requirements imposed under 
8 319.56-2 as a condition of the issuance of permits for (i) the importation from 
Mexico of commercially-sound oranges, free of leaves and other plant debris, or 
(ii) the importation from Mexico during the 5-month period beginning November 1 and 
ending the following March 31, of commercially-sound tangerines, with tight skins 
and free from air pockets or puffiness, and free of leaves and other debris. 
2. Section 319.56-2g(a) (2) la amended to read as follows: 
(2) The approved vapor -heat schedule of treatment specified in paragraph 
(b) (1) of this section will meet the treatment requirements imposed under 
i 319.56-2 as a condition of the issuance of permits for the importation from 
Mexico of commercially-sound grapefruit and Manila mangoes, free of leaves and 
other plant debris. 
The purpose of the foregoing amendment is to authorize an additional schedule 
of vapor -heat treatment, previously authorized for oranges only, as a condition for 
tiie issuance of permits for the importation from Mexico during the 5 -month period 
beginning November 1 and ending the following March 31, of commercially-sound 
tangerines, with tight skins and free from air pockets or puffiness, and free of 
leaves and other debris. Accordingly, the foregoing amendment relieves restric- 
tions now in effect. In order to be of maximum benefit to shippers, the new 
authorization should be made effective as soon as possible. Therefore, pursuant to 
section k of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U. S. C. 1003) it is found upon 
good cause that notice and public procedure on the foregoing amendment are unneces- 
sary, impracticable, and contrary to the public interest, and since this amendment 
relieves restrictions it may properly be made effective under said section k less 
than 30 days after its publication in the Federal Register. 
(Sec. 5, 37 Stat. 316; 7 U. S. C. 159) 
This amendment shall be effective November 20, 1952. 
Done at Washington, D. C., this 20th day of November, 1952.
