- (a)List of regulated articles. The Administrator has determined that certain articles present a risk of spreading Karnal bunt. A list of all such articles is found on the internet at www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/plant-pest-and-disease-programs/pests-and-diseases/karnal-bunt/ct_karnal_bunt. Lists of all regulated articles may also be obtained by request from any local Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) office; local offices are listed in telephone directories and on the internet at www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/ppq-program-overview/sphd.
- (b)Normal process for designating additional regulated articles.
- (1)If the Administrator determines that an article not already listed presents a risk of spreading Karnal bunt, APHIS will publish a notice in the Federal Register proposing to designate the article as a regulated article for Karnal bunt. The notice will provide the basis for this determination, and will request public comment.
- (2)If no comments are received on the notice, or if the comments do not change the Administrator's determination, APHIS will publish a second notice in the Federal Register designating the article as a regulated article for Karnal bunt and listing it.
- (c)Immediate designation of regulated articles. Any other article, product, or means of conveyance not already listed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section may be designated a regulated article on an immediate basis if an inspector determines that it presents a risk of spreading Karnal bunt, and notifies the person in possession of the article, product, or means of conveyance that it is now subject to the restrictions of this subpart.
