Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Regulatory Announcements: January 1958-December 1961 Full details of the new regulations, which become effective November 24, were published today (october 24) in the Federal Register. They-will affect shipments of biological Specimens and other materials by scientists, collectors, biological supply houses, and others. The regulations extend plant-pest control protection to all plant pests, includ ing insects, mites, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, fungi, parasitic plants, and viruses, which may be imported into this country for research or other purposes. Previous regulations had applied only to certain injurious insects and mollusks, like snails. The new regulations, issued under the Federal Plant Pest Act of 1957, regulate entry and interstate movement of all these varieties of plant pests. They apply to the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Permits are required for movement of plant pests into or through the United States, or interstate. Also authorized are inspection and other regulation of transportation, products, and articles that may carry these pests. Each application for entry or interstate shipment of a plant pest will be considered on its merits. Criteria are established for issuing or denying a permit. The regulations include authority to take emergency action under unusual circumstances that cannot be anticipated. Previously such action depended largely upon voluntary cooperation of those interested in the Shipments. Other features include provision for entry of soil under permit, and for safeguards against introduction of plant pests in such soil. Usda plant quarantine inspectors are also authorized to participate with other agencies to insure safe disposal of foreign garbage, so it will not intro duce plant pests.
