[Docket No. 93-142-2]

 

Black Stem Rust; Addition of Rust-Resistant Varieties

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Direct final rule; Correction and confirmation of effective 
date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of the direct final 
rule that amends the black stem rust quarantine and regulations by 
adding six varieties to the list of rust-resistant Berberis species. 
This document also corrects an error in the direct final rule. One of 
the varieties was added under its trademark name, Berberis thungbergii 
`Cherry Bomb.' We should have added the variety under its botanical 
cultivar name, Berberis thungbergii `Monomb.'

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published on February 25, 1994 
(59 FR 9065-9066, Docket No. 93-142-1) is effective April 26, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on 
February 25, 1994 (59 FR 9065-9066, Docket No. 93-142-1), we notified 
the public of our intent to amend the black stem rust quarantine and 
regulations by adding six varieties to the list of rust-resistant 
Berberis species.
    We solicited comments concerning the direct final rule for a 30-day 
comment period ending March 28, 1994. We stated that the effective date 
of the proposed amendment would be 60 days after publication of the 
direct final rule in the Federal Register, unless we received written 
adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments 
by the close of the comment period.
    We received neither written adverse comments nor notice of intent 
to submit adverse comments by that date. Therefore, the direct final 
rule will become effective on April 26, 1994, as scheduled. The 
correction to the direct final rule, as set forth below, will become 
effective on the same date.
