Potato Cyst Nematode; Update of 

Quarantined Areas 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of changes to 

quarantined area. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have made changes to the area 

in the State of Idaho that is quarantined 

to prevent the spread of potato cyst 

nematode. The description of the 

quarantined area was updated on 

November 1, 2007, when the potato cyst 

nematode regulations became effective; 

on November 28, 2007, when one 

additional field was found to be 

infested; on January 9, 2008, when some 

fields that had been quarantined were 

found not to have an association with an 

infested field; and on March 21, 2008, 

when 24 associated fields were removed 

from the quarantined area after having 

been surveyed and found to be free of 

potato cyst nematode.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The potato cyst nematode (PCN) 

(Globodera pallida) is a major pest of 

potato crops in cool-temperature areas. 

Other solanaceous hosts include 

tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, tomatillos, 

and some weeds. The PCN is thought to 

have originated in Peru and is now 

widely distributed in many potatogrowing regions of the world. PCN 

infestations may be expressed as 

patches of poor growth. Affected potato 

plants may exhibit yellowing, wilting, 

or death of foliage. Even with only 

minor symptoms on the foliage, potato 

tuber size can be affected. Unmanaged 

infestations can cause potato yield loss 

ranging from 20 to 70 percent. The 

spread of this pest in the United States 

could result in a loss of domestic or 

foreign markets for U.S. potatoes and 

other commodities. 

In an interim rule published in the 

Federal Register on September 12, 2007, 

and effective on November 1, 2007 (72 

FR 51975–51988, Docket No. APHIS–

2006–0143), we established the PCN 

quarantine regulations (§§ 301.86 

through 301.86–9, referred to below as 

the regulations). These regulations set 

out procedures for determining the areas 

quarantined for PCN and impose 

restrictions on the interstate movement 

of regulated articles from quarantined 

areas. 

Section 301.86–3 of the regulations 

sets out the procedures for determining 

the areas quarantined for PCN. 

Paragraph (a) of § 301.86–3 states that, 

in accordance with the criteria listed in 

§ 301.86–3(c), the Administrator will 

designate as a quarantined area each 

field that has been found to be infested 

with PCN, each field that has been 

found to be associated with an infested 

field, and any area that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

quarantine because of its inseparability 

for quarantine enforcement purposes 

from infested or associated fields. 

Paragraph (c) provides that the 

Administrator will designate a field as 

an infested field when PCN is found in 

the field. Paragraph (c) also provides 

that the Administrator will designate a 

field as an associated field when PCN 

host crops, as listed in § 301.86–2(b), 

have been grown in the field in the last 

10 years and the field shares a border 

with an infested field; the field came 

into contact with a regulated article 

listed in § 301.86–2 from an infested 

field within the last 10 years; or, within 

the last 10 years, the field shared 

ownership, tenancy, seed, drainage or 

runoff, farm machinery, or other 

elements of shared cultural practices 

with an infested field that could allow 

spread of the PCN, as determined by the 

Administrator. 

Paragraph (b) describes the conditions 

for the designation of an area less than 

an entire State as a quarantined area. 

Less than an entire State will be 

designated as a quarantined area only if 

the Administrator determines that: 

• The State has adopted and is 

enforcing restrictions on the intrastate 

movement of the regulated articles that 

are equivalent to those imposed by the 

regulations on the interstate movement 

of regulated articles; and 

• The designation of less than the 

entire State as a quarantined area will 

prevent the interstate spread of PCN. 

We have determined that it is not 

necessary to designate the entire State of 

Idaho as a quarantined area. Idaho has 

adopted and is enforcing restrictions on 

the intrastate movement of regulated 

articles from that area that are 

equivalent to those we are imposing on 

the interstate movement of regulated 

articles. 

Paragraph (a) of § 301.86–3 further 

provides that the Administrator will 

publish the description of the 

quarantined area on the Plant Protection 

and Quarantine (PPQ) Web site, http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/ 

plant_pest_info/potato/pcn.shtml. The 

description of the quarantined area will 

include the date the description was last 

updated and a description of the 

changes that have been made to the 

quarantined area. The description of the 

quarantined area may also be obtained 

by request from any local office of PPQ; 

local offices are listed in telephone 

directories. Finally, paragraph (a) 

establishes that, after a change is made 

to the quarantined area, we will publish 

a notice in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the change has 

occurred and describing the change to 

the quarantined area. 

We are publishing this notice to 

inform the public of changes to the PCN 

quarantined area in accordance with 

§ 301.86–3(a). 

The PCN quarantined area was first 

updated when the regulations became 

effective on November 1, 2007. That 

update to the quarantined area 

expanded the list of associated fields 

based on new information regarding 


PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 110 / Friday, June 6, 2008 / Notices 32285 

shared cultural practices. This added 

associated fields in Jefferson County, ID, 

as well as fields in Bonneville and 

Bingham Counties, ID. 

On November 28, 2007, surveys 

confirmed the detection of PCN in one 

new field. It was not necessary to add 

that field to the quarantined area, as it 

had already been listed as an associated 

field. However, the finding of an 

infestation in that field led to new fields 

being designated as associated fields. 

These fields were in Bonneville and 

Bingham Counties. 

On January 9, 2008, the quarantined 

area was further updated to remove four 

fields from the quarantined area. 

Although these fields had appeared to 

be associated fields, further 

investigation demonstrated that these 

fields were not associated with an 

infested field. The fields removed from 

quarantine were in Bonneville County. 

On March 21, 2008, the quarantined 

area was updated to remove 24 fields 

from the quarantined area. These fields 

had been associated fields, and were 

found to be free of PCN according to a 

survey protocol approved by the 

Administrator as sufficient to support 

removal from quarantine, under 

paragraph (d)(2) of § 301.86–3. The 

fields removed from quarantine were in 

Bonneville and Bingham Counties.

area can be viewed on the PPQ Web site
