Special seed requests under the Plant Protection Act

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: We are proposing to amend our domestic quarantine regulations to establish a process by which a State or political subdivision of a State could request approval to impose prohibitions or restrictions on
the movement in interstate commerce of specific articles that are in addition to the prohibitions and restrictions imposed by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The Plant Protection Act provides that States or political subdivisions of States may make such special need requests, but there are currently no procedures in place for their submission or consideration. This action would establish a process by which States may make a special need request.

DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before June 5, 2006.
