$301.38-2 Regulated articles.

The following are regulated articles: 3 (a) All seedlings and plants of less than 2 years' growth of the genus Berberis.

(b) All plants, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation

2 Testing is performed by the Agricultural Research Service of USDA as follows: In a greenhouse, the suspect plant, or test subject, is placed under a screen with a control plant, i.e., a known rust-susceptible variety of Berberis, Mahoberberis, or Mahonia. Infected wheat stems, a primary host of black stem rust, are placed on top of the screen. The plants are moistened and maintained in 100% humidity, causing the spores to swell and fall on the plants lying under the screen. The plants are then observed for 7 days at 2080% relative humidity. This test procedure is repeated 12 times. If in all 12 tests, the rustsusceptible plant shows signs of infection after 7 days and the test plants do not, USDA will declare the test plant variety rust-resistant. The tests must be performed on new growth, just as the leaves are unfolding.

3 Permit and other requirements for the interstate movement of black stem rust organisms are contained in part 330 of this chapter.

(d) All plants, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation from rust-susceptible species and varieties of the general Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia, and seedlings from rust-susceptible species and varieties of the genera Mahoberberis and Mahonia, except Mahonia cuttings for decorative purposes.

(e) Any other product or article not listed in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section, that an inspector determines presents a risk of spread of black stem rust. The inspector must notify the person in possession of the product or article that it is subject to the provisions of this subpart.

8301.38-3 Protected areas.

(a) The Administrator may designate as a protected area in paragraph (c) of this section any State that has eradicated rust-susceptible plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia under the cooperative Federal-State eradication program. In addition, the State must employ personnel with responsibility for the issuance and withdrawal of certificates in accordance with § 301.38–5, and maintain and enforce an inspection program under which every plant nursery within the State is inspected at least once each year to ensure that they are free of rust-susceptible plants. During the requisite nursery inspections, all nursery stock shall be examined to determine that it consists only of rust-resistant varieties of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia, and that the plants are true to type. Plants that do not meet this criteria must be destroyed.

(b) The Administrator may designate as a protected area any county within a State, rather than the entire State, if areas within the State have eradicated rust-susceptible plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia
