Sec. 319.15  Notice of quarantine.


    (a) On and after October 1, 1934, under authority conferred by the 
Plant Quarantine Act approved August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315; 7 U.S.C. 
151-167), as amended, the importation into the United States of canes of 
sugarcane, or cuttings or parts thereof, sugarcane leaves, the bagasse, 
from all foreign countries and localities, is prohibited: Provided, That 
this prohibition shall not apply to importations by the U.S. Department 
of Agriculture for scientific or experimental purposes, nor to 
importations of specific materials which the Department may authorize 
under permit on condition that they have been or are to be so treated, 
processed, or manufactured that, in the judgment of the Department, 
their entry will involve no pest risk: Provided further, That whenever 
the Deputy Administrator of the Plant Protection and Quarantine Programs 
shall find that existing conditions as to pest risk involved in the 
importation of bagasse and related sugarcane products into Guam, make it 
safe to modify by making less stringent the restrictions of this section 
with respect to such importation, he shall publish such finding in 
administrative instructions, specifying the manner in which the 
restrictions shall be made less stringent and imposing such conditions 
on such importation as he deems necessary to carry out the purposes of 
this section, whereupon such modification shall become effective.
    (b) As used in this subpart, unless the context otherwise requires, 
the term ``United States'' means the States, the District of Columbia, 
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States.
