We are amending the golden nematode regulations by removing areas in Orleans, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties in the State of New York from the list of generally infested areas. Surveys and other data have shown that certain areas in these counties are free of golden nematode, and we have determined that regulation of these areas is no longer necessary. As a result of this action, areas in Orleans, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties in the State of New York that have been listed as generally infested will be removed from the list of areas regulated for golden nematode. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions on certain areas that are no longer necessary.

Golden Nematode; Removal of Regulated Areas in Orleans, Nassau, 
and Suffolk Counties, New York

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Interim rule and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are amending the golden nematode regulations by removing 
areas in Orleans, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties in the State of New York 
from the list of generally infested areas. Surveys and other data have 
shown that certain areas in these counties are free of golden nematode, 
and we have determined that regulation of these areas is no longer 
necessary. As a result of this action, areas in Orleans, Nassau, and 
Suffolk Counties in the State of New York that have been listed as 
generally infested will be removed from the list of areas regulated for 
golden nematode. This action is necessary to relieve restrictions on 
certain areas that are no longer necessary.

DATES: This interim rule is effective October 2, 2015. We will consider 
all comments that we receive on or before December 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The golden nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) is a destructive pest 
of potatoes and other solanaceous plants. Potatoes cannot be 
economically grown on land that contains large numbers of the nematode. 
The golden nematode has been determined to occur in the United States 
only in parts of the State of New York.
    In 7 CFR part 301, the golden nematode quarantine regulations 
(Sec. Sec.  301.85 through 301.85-10, referred to below as the 
regulations) set out procedures for determining the areas regulated for 
golden nematode and impose restrictions on the interstate movement of 
regulated articles from regulated areas.
    Paragraph (a) of Sec.  301.85-2 states that the Deputy 
Administrator, Plant Protection and Quarantine, Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service (APHIS), shall list as regulated areas each 
quarantined State or each portion thereof in which golden nematode has 
been found or in which there is reason to believe that golden nematode 
is present, or which it is deemed necessary to regulate because of 
their proximity to infestation or their inseparability for quarantine 
enforcement purposes from infested localities.
    Paragraph (b) of Sec.  301.85-2 states that the Deputy 
Administrator or an authorized inspector may temporarily designate any 
other premises in a quarantined State as a regulated area and a 
suppressive or generally infested area, in accordance with the criteria 
specified in paragraph (a).
    Paragraph (c) of Sec.  301.85-2 states that, in accordance with the 
criteria listed in Sec.  301.852(a), the Deputy Administrator shall 
terminate the designation of any area listed as a regulated area and 
suppressive or generally infested area when he or she determines that 
such designation is no longer required.
    Surveys and other data have revealed that certain areas in Orleans, 
Nassau, and Suffolk Counties of New York are free of golden nematode. 
Accordingly, on September 17, 2014, APHIS issued a Federal Order \1\ to 
terminate the quarantine designation of specified areas within these 
three counties, thereby removing 600,524 acres from the golden nematode 
regulations. As a result, it is no longer necessary to regulate these 
areas or restrict the interstate movement of golden nematode regulated 
articles from these areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Domestic Quarantine Notice for Revision of Golden Nematode 
Regulated Area (DA-2014-43), September 17, 2014: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/nematode/downloads/DA-2014-43.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Approximately 509 acres will remain under regulation in Nassau 
County, 68 acres in Orleans County, and 221,504 acres in Suffolk 
County. Further analysis continues in each of these counties that may 
lead to additional acres being eligible to be removed from regulation 
in the future.

Correction

    In an interim rule dated January 9, 2013 (78 FR, 1713-1715, Docket 
No. APHIS-2012-0079), we amended the golden nematode regulations by 
removing areas in Livingston and Steuben Counties in New York from the 
list of generally infested areas. In that rule, the coordinates we used 
to delineate the revised areas under quarantine were formatted in such 
a way that they did not accurately represent the areas we wished to 
lift from restrictions. Therefore, we are publishing the corrected 
coordinates of the areas remaining under quarantine in Livingston and 
Steuben Counties in this rule.

Immediate Action

    Immediate action is warranted to relieve restrictions that are no 
longer necessary on the specified areas in Orleans, Nassau, and Suffolk 
Counties in New York that have been regulated for golden nematode. 
Under these circumstances, the Administrator has determined that prior 
notice and opportunity for public comment are contrary to the public 
interest and that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 for making 
this action effective less than 30 days after publication in the 
Federal Register.
    We will consider comments we receive during the comment period for 
this interim rule (see DATES above). After the comment period closes, 
we will publish another document in the Federal Register. The document 
will include a discussion of any comments we receive and any amendments 
we are making to the rule.

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This interim rule is subject to Executive Order 12866. However, for 
this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review 
under Executive Order 12866.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we have analyzed 
the potential economic effects of this action on small entities. The 
analysis is summarized below. The full analysis may be viewed on the 
Regulations.gov Web site (see ADDRESSES above for instructions for 
accessing Regulations.gov) or obtained from the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    APHIS has removed 600,524 acres from the golden nematode 
regulations in specific areas in three New York counties: Orleans, 
Nassau, and Suffolk. Of the areas remaining under regulation, 221,504 
acres are in Suffolk County, 509 acres are in Nassau County, and 68 
acres are in Orleans County.
    Golden nematode is a major pest of potato and other many other 
solanaceous plants. Sale of many soil-related products is negatively 
impacted in areas under quarantine for golden nematode. We impose 
sanitation requirements on movement of agricultural equipment and non-
agricultural entities that use earth-moving equipment. The pest is 
spread by the transport of cysts in soil, in particular through the 
inadvertent movement of infested soil attached to agricultural 
products, farming equipment, and other regulated articles.
    In 2014, the State of New York harvested 15,800 acres of potatoes 
valued at approximately $55 million, with Suffolk County being the 
number one county in potato production. While there are no detailed 
potato data published by county, 42 entities in Suffolk County have 
been affected by the deregulation and of these 18 entities are potato 
growers. One potato farm has been affected by the deregulation in 
Nassau County. Deregulation of quarantine areas in Orleans County is 
not known to have affected any entities.
    The 43 affected entities will benefit from no longer needing to 
satisfy compliance requirements of the quarantine. They may also find 
improved export opportunities. While the potato farmers as well as the 
rest of the affected entities may qualify as small entities, they are 
few in number and their share of the nation's potato industry is small. 
Even though New

[[Page 59553]]

York ranks 12th in volume among the States that produce potatoes, the 
value of its production is only 1.7 percent of the value of all U.S. 
production.
    Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and 
Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
