7 CFR Part 301

[Docket No. 01-048-2]


Pine Shoot Beetle; Addition to Quarantined Areas; Correction

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Interim rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an interim rule published July 18, 
2001, that amended the pine shoot beetle regulations. The correction 
changes an instruction to reflect that a paragraph containing a map 
depicting the quarantined area (7 CFR 301.50-3(d)) was being added 
rather than revised.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jonathan Jones, Operations 
Officer, Invasive Species and Pest Management, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River 
Road, Unit 134, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236, (301) 734-8247.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 5, 1999, we published in the 
Federal Register (64 FR 385-387, Docket No. 98-113-1) an interim rule 
that amended the pine shoot beetle regulations (contained in 7 CFR 
301.50 through 301.50-10) by, among other things, removing paragraph 
(d) of Sec. 301.50-3. Paragraph (d) contained a map that showed the 
quarantined counties listed in Sec. 301.50-3(c). This interim rule was 
affirmed as a final rule on April 2, 1999 (63 FR 15916-15918, Docket 
No. 98-113-2).
    However, due to an oversight by the Office of the Federal Register, 
paragraph (d) of Sec. 301.50-3 continued to appear in the Code of 
Federal Regulations revised as of January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2001.
    On July 18, 2001, we published in the Federal Register (66 FR 
37401-37405, Docket No. 01-048-1) an interim rule that amended the pine 
shoot beetle regulations by, among other things, revising the map 
contained in paragraph (d) of Sec. 301.50-3. Since Sec. 301.50-3(d) 
should have been removed prior to that date, we are now correcting the 
interim rule published July 18, 2001, to reflect that paragraph (d) of 
Sec. 301.50-3 was being added rather than revised.

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 301

PART 301--[CORRECTED]

    1. On page 37403, in the first column, amendatory instruction 2k 
for Sec. 301.50-3 is corrected to read as follows:
    k. By adding paragraph (d).

    2. On page 37404, in the third column, Sec. 301.50-3, paragraph (d) 
is corrected by removing the three asterisks following the paragraph 
designation and adding in their place: ``A map of the quarantined areas 
follows:''.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 30th day of August 2001.
