In the June 16, 2016, Federal Register, APHIS removed plants of the genus Celtis from the list of regulated articles for the Asian longhorned beetle ("ALB"). APHIS determined that because plants of the genus Celtis are not a host plant of ALB, there was no need to restrict the movement of Celtis plants from ALB quarantined areas. The Rule is effective June 16, 2016, and comments are due August 15, 2016.
