Sec. 330.202 Requirements for the interstate movement of regulated
organisms.
You may move an organism regulated under this subpart from one State into or
through another State if APHIS determines that the interstate movement can
be accomplished in a manner that will prevent the dissemination of plant
pests that are new to or not widely distributed in the United States. An
interstate movement may be accomplished through notification or under permit
or, under certain limited circumstances, without a permit:
(a) Through notification. <snip>
(b) Under permit. <snip>
(c) No permit necessary. (1) Certain indigenous plant pest species are
distributed throughout the continental United States and are known to
commonly accompany plants or plant products moved in interstate commerce.
Given the wide distribution of these organisms, we have determined that
their interstate movement within the continental United States is not likely
to result in additional plant pest risks. Therefore, the following organisms
may be moved within the continental United States without a permit if they
are moved from populations located within the continental United States:
Bacteria

[Docket No. 95-095-2]
RIN 0579-AA80
Plant Pest Regulations; Update of Current Provisions
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are proposing to revise our regulations regarding the
movement of plant pests by adding risk-based criteria for determining
the plant pest status of organisms, establishing a notification process
that could be used as an alternative to the current permitting system,
providing for the environmental release of organisms for the biological
control of weeds, and updating the text of the subpart. These proposed
changes would clarify the factors that would be considered when
assessing the plant pest risks associated with certain organisms,
facilitate the importation and interstate movement of regulated
organisms, and address gaps in the current regulations.
DATES: We invite you to comment on this docket. We will consider all
comments that we receive by December 10, 2001.
ADDRESSES: Please send your comment and three copies to: Docket No. 95-
095-2, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Suite 3C03,
4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238.
Please state that your comment refers to Docket No. 95-095-2.
You may read any comments that we receive on this docket in our

South Building, 14th Street and Independence Avenue SW., Washington,
DC. Normal reading room hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except holidays. To be sure someone is there to help you,
please call (202) 690-2817 before coming.
