In addition, APHIS is adding one field (seven field acres) in the Palo Verde area of
Maricopa County to the list of regulated areas. APHIS is adding this formerly abandoned
field, not because we detected Karnal bunt, but because it is now productive agricultural
land and is located within a regulated area. We have determined that this field meets the
criteria for regulation outlined in 7 CFR § 301.89-3(e). This field is not on Tribal land.
APHIS is taking this regulatory action to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt from Arizona.
Karnal bunt is a pest that affects wheat quality. APHIS regulates this plant disease because
many trading partners require that U.S. wheat be certified as grown in areas free of Karnal
bunt.
APHIS will follow this emergency action with the publication of an interim rule in the
Federal Register. More information on Karnal bunt is available at the following website:

FEDERAL ORDER
Domestic Quarantine for
Karnal Bunt (Tilletia indica)
DA-2020-04
February 4, 2020
This Federal Order amends the Karnal bunt regulated areas in Arizona. Specifically, it
reduces the overall regulated area in La Paz, Maricopa, and Pinal Counties.
This Federal Order is issued pursuant to the authority provided by the Plant Protection Act
of June 20, 2000, Section 412(a), 7 U.S.C. 7712(a). The Act authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to prohibit or restrict the movement in interstate commerce of any plant, plant
part, or article, if the Secretary determines the prohibition or restriction is necessary to
prevent the dissemination of a plant pest within the United States. The regulatory authority
provided by 7 U.S.C. 7754 allows the Secretary to issue orders to carry out this provision
of the Plant Protection Act. This Federal Order is likewise issued pursuant to the regulations
promulgated under the Plant Protection Act found at 7 CFR 301.89 et. seq.
Section 7 CFR § 301.89-3(b) allows the designation of less than an entire state as a Karnal
bunt regulated area only when the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) has determined, as in this case, that the designation is adequate to prevent
the interstate spread of Karnal bunt. In addition, 7 CFR § 301.89-3(a) requires that the state
enforce an intrastate Karnal bunt quarantine that is equivalent to federal Karnal bunt
regulations. The Arizona State Plant Regulatory Official has confirmed the establishment of
an intrastate quarantine area for Karnal bunt that mirrors the federal regulatory requirements
as specified in 7 CFR § 301.89.
Section 7 CFR § 301.89-3(d) provides for the temporary designation of new regulated areas
pending publication of a rule to add the new areas to the list shown in 7 CFR §
