to black stem rust during testing by the United States Department of 
Agriculture,\2\ and that are listed as rust-resistant under Sec.
301.38-2 (a)(1) and (a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Testing is performed by the Agricultural Research Service of 
USDA as follows: In a greenhouse, the suspect plant, or test subject, is 
placed under a screen with a control plant, i.e., a known rust-
susceptible variety of Berberis, Mahoberberis, or Mahonia. Infected 
wheat stems, a primary host of black stem rust, are placed on top of the 
screen. The plants are moistened and maintained in 100% humidity, 
causing the spores to swell and fall on the plants lying under the 
screen. The plants are then observed for 7 days at 20-80% relative 
humidity. This test procedure is repeated 12 times. If in all 12 tests, 
the rust-susceptible plant shows signs of infection after 7 days and the 
test plants do not, USDA will declare the test plant variety rust-
resistant. The tests must be performed on new growth, just as the leaves 
are unfolding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sec.301.38-3  Protected areas.

    (a) The Administrator may designate as a protected area in paragraph 
(d) of this section any State that has eradicated rust-susceptible 
plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia under the 
cooperative Federal-State eradication program. In addition, the State 
must employ personnel with responsibility for the issuance and 
withdrawal of certificates in accordance with Sec.301.38-5, and 
maintain and enforce an inspection program under which every plant 
nursery within the State is inspected at least once each year to ensure 
that they are free of rust-susceptible plants. During the requisite 
nursery inspections, all nursery stock shall be examined to determine 
that it consists only of rust-resistant varieties of the genera 
Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia, and that the plants are true to 
type. Plants that do not meet this criteria must be destroyed.
    (b) The Administrator may designate as a protected area any county 
within a State, rather than the entire State, if areas within the State 
have eradicated rust-susceptible plants of the genera Berberis, 
Mahoberberis, and Mahonia under the cooperative Federal-State program, 
and;
    (1) The State employs personnel with responsibility for the issuance 
and withdrawal of certificates in accordance with Sec.301.38-5;
    (2) The State is enforcing restrictions on the intrastate movement 
of the regulated articles that are equivalent to those imposed by this 
subpart on the interstate movement of regulated articles, as determined 
by the Administrator; and
    (3) The State maintains and enforces an inspection program under 
which every plant nursery within the county is inspected at least once 
each year to ensure that plant nurseries within that area are free of 
rust-susceptible plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and 
Mahonia. During the requisite nursery inspections, all nursery stock 
shall be examined to determine that it consists only of rust-resistant 
varieties of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia, and that 
the plants are true to type. Plants that do not meet this criteria must 
be destroyed.
    (c) All seed used to propagate plants of the genera Berberis, 
Mahoberberis, and Mahonia in protected areas, and all seed used to 
propagate plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia that 
are certified as rust-resistant for interstate movement into protected 
areas, must be produced at properties where a State inspector has 
verified that no wild or domesticated rust-susceptible plants are 
growing at or within one-half mile of the property.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Persons performing the inspections must be able to recognize 
rust-susceptible varieties of Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia. 
Inspectors must work side by side, 10 to 20 feet apart, and walk outward 
away from the property a distance of one-half mile measured from the 
edge of the property, and observe all plants growing in the half-mile 
band. The distance between the inspectors may vary within this range, 
depending upon the visibility of the plant growth. In areas with low 
brush and flat terrain, the inspectors may be the maximum distance of 20 
feet apart if they can observe all plants growing within 10 feet of 
them. In areas of high plant growth or hilly terrain, the inspectors 
must be closer together due to limited or obstructed visibility. 
Inspectors must observe all plants growing between themselves and the 
mid-point of the distance between themselves and the next inspector. 
This process must be repeated so that the entire band, measured from the 
border of the property to the circumference of an imaginary circle 
having the property as its mid-point, is visually inspected in this 
manner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (d) The following are designated as protected areas:
    (1) The States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, 
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

[[Page 17]]

    (2) The following counties in the State of Washington: Adams, 
Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, 
Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, 
Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, Yakima.
    (e) Each State that is a protected area or that encompasses a 
protected area must submit annually to the Administrator a written 
statement, signed by an inspector, assuring APHIS that all nursery 
inspections have been performed in accordance with this section. The 
statement must be submitted by January 1st of each year, and must 
include a list of the nurseries inspected and found free of rust-
susceptible plants.
    (f) The Administrator may remove a protected area from the list of 
designated protected areas in paragraph (d) of this section if he or she 
determines that it no longer meets the criteria of paragraph (a) or 
(b)(1) through (3) of this section. A hearing will be held to resolve 
any conflict as to any material fact. Rules of practice for the hearing 
shall be adopted by the Administrator.

Sec.301.38-4  Interstate movement of regulated articles.

    (a) Non-protected areas. Interstate movement of regulated articles 
into or through any State or area that is not designated as a protected 
area under Sec.301.38-3(d) is allowed without restriction under this 
subpart.
    (b) Protected areas. (1) Prohibited movement. The following 
regulated articles are prohibited from moving interstate into or through 
any protected area:
    (i) All rust-susceptible Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia plants, 
seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation, except 
Mahonia cuttings for decorative purposes.
    (ii) All seed-propagated plants of the Berberis species and 
varieties designated as rust-resistant in Sec.301.38-2(a)(1) of this 
subpart that are of less than 2 years' growth, and any seeds, fruits, 
and other plant parts capable of propagation from such plants.
    (2) Restricted movement. The following regulated articles may be 
moved interstate into or through a protected area with a certificate 
issued and attached in accordance with Sec.Sec.301.38-5 and 301.38-7 
of this subpart:
    (i) Seed-propagated plants of at least 2 years' growth, clonally 
propagated plants of any age, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts 
capable of propagation of the Berberis species and varieties designated 
as rust-resistant in Sec.301.38-2(a)(1) of this subpart;
    (ii) Plants, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of 
propagation of the Mahoberberis and Mahonia species and varieties 
designated as rust-resistant in Sec.301.38-2(a)(2) of this subpart.
    (c) An inspector may issue a limited permit to allow a regulated 
article not eligible for certification under Sec.301.38-4(b)(2) to 
move interstate into or through a protected area to a specified 
destination that is stated in the permit and is outside the protected 
area, if the requirements of all other applicable Federal domestic plant 
quarantines are met. A regulated article moved interstate under a 
limited permit must be placed in a closed sealed container that prevents 
unauthorized removal of the regulated article, and that remains sealed 
until the regulated article reaches the final destination stated in the 
permit. At the final destination, the sealed container must be opened 
only in the presence of an inspector or with the authorization of an 
inspector obtained expressly for that shipment.
    (d) The United States Department of Agriculture may move any 
regulated article interstate into or through a protected area in 
accordance with the conditions determined necessary to prevent the 
introduction or spread of black stem rust in protected areas, as 
specified in a Departmental permit issued for this purpose.

[54 FR 32791, Aug. 10, 1989, as amended at 67 FR 8180, Feb. 22, 2002; 71

under paragraph (c) of this section, who desires to move interstate a 
regulated article that must be accompanied by a

[[Page 18]]

certificate under Sec.301.38-4(b), shall, as far in advance of the 
desired interstate movement as possible (and no less than 48 hours 
before the desired interstate movement), request an inspector \5\ to 
issue a certificate. To expedite the issuance of a certificate, an 
inspector may direct that the regulated articles be assembled in a 
manner that facilitates inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Services of an inspector may be requested by contacting a local 
APHIS office (listed in telephone directories under Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine). The 
addresses and telephone numbers of local offices may also be obtained by 
writing to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant 
Protection and Quarantine, Domestic and Emergency Operations, 4700 River 
Road Unit 134, Riverdale, Maryland 20737-1236.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) An inspector may issue a certificate for the interstate movement 
of a regulated article if he or she:
    (1) Determines, upon examination, that the regulated article may be 
moved interstate in accordance with this subpart; and
    (2) Determines that the regulated article may be moved interstate in 
accordance with all other Federal domestic plant quarantines and 
regulations applicable to the regulated article.
    (c) Certificates for interstate movement of regulated articles may 
be issued by an inspector to a person operating under a compliance 
agreement for use with subsequent shipments of regulated articles to 
facilitate their movement. A person operating under a compliance 
agreement must make the determinations set forth in paragraph (b) of 
this section before shipping any regulated articles.
    (d) Any certificate that has been issued may be withdrawn by an 
inspector, orally or in writing, if he or she determines that the holder 
of the certificate has not complied with the conditions of this subpart 
for the use of the certificate. If the withdrawal is oral, the inspector 
will confirm the withdrawal and the reasons for the withdrawal, in 
writing, within 20 days of oral notification of the withdrawal. Any 
person whose certificate has been withdrawn may appeal the decision, in 
writing within 10 days after receiving written notification of the 
withdrawal. The appeal must state all of the facts and reasons upon 
which the person relies to show that the certificate was wrongfully 
withdrawn. A hearing will be held to resolve any conflict as to any 
material fact. An appeal shall be granted or denied, in writing, as 
promptly as circumstances allow, and the reasons for the decision shall 
be stated. In a non-protected area, appeal shall be made to the 
Administrator. The Administrator shall adopt rules of practice for the 
hearing. The certificate will remain withdrawn pending decision of the 
appeal.

Sec.301.38-6  Compliance agreements and cancellation.

    (a) Any State may enter into a written compliance agreement with any 
person who grows or handles regulated articles in a protected area, or 
moves interstate regulated articles from a protected area, under which 
that person agrees to comply with this subpart, to provide inspectors 
with information concerning the source of any regulated articles 
acquired each year, and to prevent the unauthorized use of certificates 
issued for future use under the compliance agreement.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In non-protected areas, compliance agreements may be arranged by 
contacting a local office of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine, or by writing to the 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and 
Quarantine, Domestic and Emergency Operations, 4700 River Road Unit 134, 
Riverdale, Maryland 20737-1236.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) A compliance agreement may be cancelled by an inspector, orally 
or in writing, whenever he or she determines that the person who has 
entered into the compliance agreement has failed to comply with the 
agreement or this subpart. If the cancellation is oral, the cancellation 
and the reasons for the cancellation will be confirmed, in writing, 
within 20 days of oral notification of the cancellation. Any person 
whose compliance agreement has been cancelled may appeal the decision, 
in writing, within 10 days after receiving written notification of the 
cancellation. The appeal must state all of the facts

[[Page 19]]

and reasons upon which the person relies to show that the compliance 
agreement was wrongfully cancelled. A hearing will be held to resolve 
any conflict as to any material fact. An appeal shall be granted or 
denied, in writing, as promptly as circumstances allow, and the reasons 
for the decision shall be stated. In a non-protected area, appeal shall
