cottonseed hulls, cake, and meal; and bale covers. Lint; linters; waste; 
seed cotton; cottonseed; cottonseed hulls, cake, and meal; and bale 
covers, fumigated in the Territory or District of origin and so 
certified, are allowed unrestricted movement to any port.
    (b) Unfumigated lint, linters, waste, and bale covers. (1) 
Unfumigated Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, or Virgin Islands of the United

the ports of Norfolk, Baltimore, New

[[Page 194]]

York, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle, or other port of arrival 
designated in the permit, and at such designated port of arrival shall 
become subject to the regulations governing the handling of cotton 
imported from foreign countries.
    (2) Fumigation may be waived and certificates issued for lint, 
linters, and waste which have been determined by an inspector of the 
Plant Protection and Quarantine Programs to have been so manufactured or 
processed by bleaching, dyeing, or other means, as to have removed all 
seeds, or to have destroyed all insect life therein.
    (c) Cottonseed cake and meal. (1) Cottonseed cake and meal which 
have been inspected in the Territory or District of origin and certified 
by an inspector of the Plant Protection and Quarantine Programs as being 
free from contamination with whole, uncrushed cottonseed, will be 
allowed unrestricted movement to any port.
    (2) Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, and Virgin Islands of the United States 
cottonseed cake and meal, when neither fumigated nor inspected in 
accordance with the provisions of this section, will be allowed entry 
under permit through any port at which the services of an inspector are 
available, subject to examination by an inspector for freedom from 
contamination with uncrushed cottonseed. If found to be free from such 
contamination, the cottonseed cake or meal may be released from further 
entry restrictions. Cottonseed cake or meal found to be contaminated 
shall be refused entry or subjected as a condition of entry and release 
to such safeguards as may be prescribed by the inspector from such 
administratively approved methods as will, in his judgment, be necessary 
to eliminate infestations of the pink bollworm or cotton blister mite.
