 PINK BOLLV/ORM QUARANTINE REGULATIONS MODIFIED 
 
 Introductory Note 
 
 The revision of regulation 2 of the pink bollworm quarantine, effective 
 May 23, 1945, added to the lightly infested regulated area the Texas counties 
 of Bailey, Borden, Cochran, Coleman, McCulloch, Nolan, Runnels, San Saba, 
 Scurry, Taylor, and that part of Coke County not theretofore under regulation. 
 These counties are located in northwestern Texas where the pink bollworm occurs 
 only from time to time, several years often elapsing in a given county between 
 findings of infestations. In this area it is considered safe under present 
 conditions to eliminate special treatment requirements on baled cotton lint 
 originating therein when it is ginned and protected as required in these in- 
 structions. This revision of B.E.P.Q. 493 provides the same safeguards for 
 handling cotton lint produced in the additional counties that have been 
 required for counties in this area. 
 
 § 301 #52-4 Administrative instructions designating certain lightly in- 
 fested counties in New Mexico and Texas from v^hich baled cotton lint may be 
 moved without treatment « Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Chief of 
 the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine by the second proviso of § 301.52 
 [Notice of Quarantine No. 52], and having determined that facts exist as to the 
 pest risk involved which make it safe to modify, by making less stringent, the 
 restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of § 301.52-4, notice is hereby given 
 that certificates may be issued for the interstate movement of baled cotton 
 lint, without treatment, from the following-designated counties when the lint 
 has been produced in an authorized gin and subsequently protected from contami- 
 nation: 
 
 New Mexico: County of Lea. 
 
 Texas: Counties of Andrews, Bailey, Borden, Cochran, Coke, Coleman, 
 Concho, Dawson, Ector, Gaines, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Martin, McCulloch, 
 Midland, Mitchell, Nolan, Runnels, San Saba, Schleicher, Scurry, Sterling, 
 Taylor, Terry, Tom Green, and Yoakum. 
 
 These instructions supersede those in B.E.P.Q. 493, fourth revision, dated 
 October 26, 1944, and shall become effective July 1, 1945.
