Noctuidae: Spodopotera<br />
Chapter 5. Regulatory Procedures<br />
Removing quarantines<br />
• Monitor the movement of waste material to and from landfills to<br />
ensure adequate disposal of regulated articles<br />
• Monitor the movement of regulated articles through major airports and<br />
other transportation centers<br />
• Observe major highways and quarantine boundaries for movement of<br />
host materials<br />
Project managers identify and remove areas from quarantine requirements<br />
after the spodoptera is declared eradicated. Eradication is assumed when<br />
sufficient time, equal to three spodoptera life cycles, has passed since the last<br />
specimen recovery. At minimum, one life cycle must elapse after control<br />
activities have ceased. APHIS will publish a Notice of Quarantine Revocation<br />
in the Federal Register when areas are removed from quarantine requirements.<br />
Regulatory personnel<br />
Regulatory records<br />
Initially, program personnel will be limited to those already trained or<br />
experienced. Experienced individuals train their replacements. A training<br />
period of three working days should be sufficient for the orderly transfer of<br />
these functions.<br />
Maintain standardized regulatory records and database(s) in sufficient detail to<br />
carry out an effective, efficient, and responsible regulatory program.<br />
