 REVOCATION  OF  ADMINISTRATIVE  INSTRUCTIONS  RELIEVING  REQUIREMENTS 
 OF  PINK  BCLLWORM  GUARANTIEE  REGULATIONS 
 
 Pursuant  to  the  authority  conferred  upon  the  Chief  of  the 
 Bureau  of  Entomology  and  Plant  Quarantine  "by  the  second  proviso 
 of  the  Pink  Bollworm  Quarantine  No.  "52  (7  CFR  1947  Supp.  301.52), 
 the  administrative  Instructions  (7  CFR  1945  Supp,  301. 52 -4b; 
 B.E.P.Q.  493,  5th  Revision)  which  presently  re-ie/*  the  require- 
 ment of  §  301.52-4  of  the  regulations  supplemental  to  the  pink 
 bollwcrm  quarantine  (7  CFR  1947  Supp.  301-52-4)  by  authorizing 
 the  issuance  of  certificates  for  the  interstate  movement  of 
 baled  cotton  lint  without  treatment,  from  certain  designated 
 counties  in  New  Mexico  and  Texas,  when  the  lint  has  been  produced 
 in  an  authorised  gin  and  subsequently  protected  from  contamination, 
 are  hereby  revoked,  effective  June  11,  1948. 
 
 This  revocation  supplements  a  revision  of  the  pink  bcllvorm 
 quarantine  and  regulations  to  become  effective  June  11,  1943.  It 
 is  desirable  that  this  revocation  become  effective  on  the  same 
 date.  Moreover  recent  intensification  of  pink  bollworm  infestation 
 In  said  counties  makes  it  necessary  to  reimpose  treatment  require- 
 ments promptly.  Therefore  in  accordance  with  section  4  (c)  of  the 
 Administrative  Procedure  Act  (5  U.  S.  C.  1003  (c)),  good  cause  is 
 found  for  making  the  effective  date  of  the  revocation  less  than  30 
 days  after  publication  hereof  in  the  Federal  Register.
