Sec. 330.101  Policy.

    The purpose of the regulations in this part is to prevent the 
dissemination of plant pests into the United States, or interstate, by 
regulating the movement of plant pests into or through the United 
States, or interstate, and the movement of means of conveyance, earth, 
stone and quarry products, garbage, and certain other products and 
articles into or through the United States, or from any Territory or 
possession into or through any other Territory or possession or the 
continental United States. The Deputy Administrator shall employ 
procedures to carry out this purpose which will impose a minimum of 
impediment to foreign commerce and travel whenever practicable, 
consistent with proper precaution against plant pest dissemination. The 
same policy is to be applied in the case of interstate commerce and 
travel.
