In the May 25, 2017, Federal Register, USDA's APHIS adopted as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Asian longhorned beetle ("ALB") regulations by removing plants of the genus Celtis, which APHIS determined not to be a host plant of ALB, from the list of regulated articles. As a result of the interim rule, there are no longer any restrictions on the movement of Celtis spp. plants from areas quarantined for ALB. The rule was effective May 25, 2017.
