Pierre,

The following (non-PDF) link should be user friendly. The list of insects
(in the earlier post and in the link below) would not require a permit for
movement. Apparently all other insects (including the Monarch) would require
notification or permit.

The comment period for this proposed rule change has been extended. If
implemented, I don't think the proposed changes would be a "temporary
situation". Mike

Plant Pest Regulations; Update of Current Provisions
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-IMPACT/2001/October/Day-09/i25229.htm

<snip>

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. If you have entered into a compliance
agreement with APHIS and the State where the regulated organisms will
be received, you may move regulated organisms interstate without a
permit, provided that you notify APHIS upon receipt of the regulated
organisms. The provisions of this subpart regarding compliance
agreements and the requirements for notification are found in
Sec. 330.204.
    (b) Under permit. If you wish to move regulated organisms
interstate without entering into a compliance agreement with APHIS and
your State, you may apply for a permit for the interstate movement of a
regulated organism. APHIS uses the information you provide in a permit
application to identify the plant pest risks associated with the
regulated organism and its interstate movement. A permit issued for the
interstate movement of a regulated organism may include requirements
that APHIS determines are necessary to mitigate the identified risks.
Instructions for applying for a permit are found in Sec. 330.205.
    (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:

I am interested in finding out what the conditions are rather than the
legalese,
and also what species are in what list, "move by permit", ."move without
permit", don't move at all", and also how much of a temporary situation this
might end up being.

Thank you for whatever you might be able to do.
