Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 23, 2007 / Notices 28949 

officials from both New York and 

Michigan, the Department has 

determined that the States do not have 

sufficient resources to effectively carry 

out an eradication program. 

The infestation of plum pox virus 

represents a threat to U.S. stone fruit 

crops. It constitutes a real danger to the 

national economy and a potential 

serious burden on interstate and foreign 

commerce. Therefore, the Department 

has determined that an extraordinary 

emergency exists because of the 

existence of plum pox virus in Michigan 

and New York. 

In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 7715, this 

declaration of extraordinary emergency 

authorizes the Secretary to: (1) Hold, 

seize, quarantine, treat, apply other 

remedial measures to, destroy, or 

otherwise dispose of, any plant, 

biological control organism, plant 

product, article, or means of conveyance 

that the Secretary has reason to believe 

is infected by or contains the plum pox 

virus; (2) quarantine, treat, or apply 

other remedial measures to any 

premises, including any plants, 

biological control organisms, plant 

products, articles, or means of 

conveyance on the premises, that the 

Secretary has reason to believe is 

infected by or contaminated with the 

plum pox virus; (3) quarantine any State 

or portion of a State in which the 

Secretary finds the plum pox virus or 

any plant, biological control organism, 

plant product, article, or means of 

conveyance that the Secretary has 

reason to believe is infected by or 

contaminated with the plum pox virus; 

and (4) prohibit or restrict the 

movement within a State of any plant, 

biological control organism, plant 

product, article, or means of conveyance 

when the Secretary determines that the 

prohibition or restriction is necessary to 

prevent the dissemination of the plum 

pox virus or to eradicate the plum pox 

virus. The Governors of New York and 

Michigan have been informed of these 

facts. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: This declaration of 

extraordinary emergency shall become 

effective May 18, 2007.
