(301)734-8676. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The pink bollworm ( *Pectinophora gossypiella* (Saunders)) is a destructive cotton pest found throughout many of the cotton-growing regions of the world. The larvae of the pink bollworm feed inside growing cotton bolls, destroying the cotton. The regulations in Subpart—Pink Bollworm (7 CFR 301.52 through 301.52-10, referred to below as the regulations) contain quarantine restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of the pink bollworm. Section 301.52 contains, among other things, lists of quarantined States and regulated articles. These regulated articles include cotton, cotton seed, lint and linters, cotton waste, and other articles associated with cotton, as well as other commodities, such as kenaf and okra, on which the pink bollworm also feeds. These articles must meet specific certification, permitting or safeguarding requirements when moving between States or areas. Section 301.52-2a lists regulated areas, which are divided into two types, suppressive areas and generally infested areas. Section 301.52-3 outlines conditions governing the interstate movement of regulated articles from quarantined States. The State of Oklahoma has been listed in § 301.52 as a quarantined State and, in the list of regulated areas in § 301.52-2a, the entire State has been designated as a generally infested area. However, Statewide trapping surveys conducted over the last 2 years have shown Oklahoma to be free of pink bollworm. Areas found to be free of pink bollworm infestation for at least 2 years meet our standards for removal from lists of quarantined States and regulated areas. Because Oklahoma has been free of pink bollworm for at least 2 years, we are amending the regulations by removing Oklahoma from the lists of quarantined States in § 301.52 and regulated areas in § 301.52-2a. Miscellaneous In addition to the provisions of this interim rule discussed above, we are also making two nonsubstantive editorial changes to § 301.52-1 in this document. First, we are removing the paragraph designations from the definitions in that section for the sake of consistency with our other regulations in title 7, where the definitions are set out in alphabetical order without paragraph designations. Second, we are revising the footnote that appears in the definition of *Treatment manual* so that the footnote accurately describes the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual's incorporation by reference. Immediate Action Immediate action is warranted to relieve restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from Oklahoma that are no longer necessary. 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 as a result of the comments. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. For this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review process required by Executive Order 12866. We are amending the pink bollworm regulations by removing the State of Oklahoma from the lists of quarantined States in § 301.52 and regulated areas in § 301.52-2a. Statewide trapping surveys conducted over the last 2 years have shown that Oklahoma has been free of pink bollworm during that entire period and has, therefore, met our standards for removal from the lists cited above. This action will relieve restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from Oklahoma that are no longer necessary. The entities most likely to be affected by this action are Oklahoma cotton producers. In 1997, there were 849 cotton farms in Oklahoma, which produced $50.89 million worth of cotton. 1 On average then, each farm produced approximately $60,000 worth of cotton. Under the guidelines of the Small Business Administration, a small cotton farm is described as having $750,000 or less in annual revenue. Approximately 99 percent of all cotton farms in Oklahoma in 1997 could be classified as small entities. 1 1997 Census of Agriculture. The largest quarantine-related expenses for small cotton growers in Oklahoma would have resulted from the treatment requirements that apply to used cotton harvesting, ginning, and oil mill equipment, cotton seed, and raw (non-ginned) cotton being moved interstate. These requirements appear to have had little economic effect; their removal should also have little effect. Cotton producers in Oklahoma have been required to clean their used cotton harvesting, ginning, or oil mill equipment if moving it interstate to a non-quarantined area. APHIS personnel in Oklahoma estimate that the average cost to have that equipment cleaned and cleared for interstate movement varies from $300 to $700 per machine. While no data are currently available, it is believed that very few cotton producers in Oklahoma incur these costs because very few move machinery out of the State. Cotton seed and raw cotton produced in a regulated area must be fumigated before being moved interstate to non-quarantined areas. Current costs to Oklahoma cotton producers for this fumigation are not available, due to the lack of interstate movement of cotton seed and raw cotton from Oklahoma over the last several years. The presence of more-than-adequate facilities within the State for processing cotton seed and ginning raw cotton means that producers do not need to move cotton seed or raw cotton across State lines for these purposes. In summary, removing Oklahoma from the lists of quarantined States and regulated areas for pink bollworm is expected to have little or no economic impact on small entities. Any effects that do occur will likely be positive. 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. Executive Order 12372 This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. ( *See* 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.) Executive Order 12988 This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule:
(1)Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are inconsistent with this rule;
(2)has no retroactive effect; and
(3)does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule. Paperwork Reduction Act This interim rule contains no information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 301 Agricultural commodities, Plant diseases and pests, Quarantine, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Transportation. Accordingly, we are amending 7 CFR part 301 as follows: PART 301—DOMESTIC QUARANTINE NOTICES 1.
