 Sec.  3Ql»52-4c- — Administrative  Instructions  - 
 Modifying  restrictions  of  the  Pink  Boll- 
 worm  quarantine  regulations  by  lifting 
 certain  requirements  as  to  samples  of 
 lint  cotton 
 
 Under  authority  contained  in  the  second  proviso  in  Notice  of 
 Quarantine  No.  32,  revised  (Sec.  301.32),  and  having  determined  that 
 facts  exist  as  to  the  pest  risk  involved  which  make  it  safe  to  modify, 
 
 king  less  stringent,  the  restrictions  contained  in  paragraph 
 (aj  of  regulation  4  (Sec,  301.52-4)  of  the  oink  bollworm  quarantine, 
 notice  is  hereby  given  that  samples  of  lint  cotton  originating  in  a 
 lightly  infested  area  may  bo  moved  interstate  Without  restriction 
 other  than  (1)  that  the  bales  of  lint  cotton  from  which  the  samples 
 are  taken  have  been  produced  in  an  authorized  gin  and  subsequently 
 protected  from  contamination,  and  (2)  that  a  certificate  issued  by 
 the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  has  been  obtained  and 
 attached  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  regulation  11  (Sec. 
 301.52-11). 
 
 The  removal  of  treatment  requirements  for  samples  of  lint 
 cotton  originating  in  the  lightly  infested  areas  is  considered  cafe 
 owing  to  the  marked  improvement  in  ginning  methods  and  machinery, 
 making  it  improbable  that  a  sample  (approximately  1 '•  pounds)  of 
 cotton  lint,  drawn  from  a  bale  for  grading  and  stapling,  would  ccn- 
 ono  seed  in  which  the  pink  bollworm  might  be  harboring. 
 
 This  modification  shal3  r<  rain  in  effect  until  further  notice.
