The Mexican fruit fly regs are being
amended by designating a portion of San Diego, CA as a regulated
area and restricting the interstate movement of regulated articles
from that area. We are also amending the regulations to provide for
the use of irradiation as a treatement for fruits listed as
regulated articles. This action will provide an additional option
for qualifying those regulated articles for movement from the
regulated areas.
