Instructions to Officials
Agricultural officials must follow instructions for regulatory treatments or
other procedures when authorizing the movement of regulated articles.
Understanding the instructions and procedures is essential when explaining
procedures to people interested in moving articles affected by the quarantine
and regulations. Only authorized treatments can be used in line with labeling
restrictions. During all field visits, ensure that proper sanitation procedures are
followed as outlined in Preparation, Sanitization, and Clean-Up on page 4-2.
