Amendment of the Plum Pox Virus Voluntary Commercial Orchard Fruit Tree Indemnity Program

[37 Pa.B. 1049]
[Saturday, March 3, 2007]

   The Department of Agriculture (Department) established the Plum Pox Virus (PPV) Voluntary Commercial Fruit Tree Indemnity Program (Program) on April 16, 2004. The order establishing the Program was published at 34 Pa.B. 2470 (May 8, 2004). That order details the eligibility requirements, standards and procedures for Program participation.

   The referenced order is hereby amended by redefining the ''core area'' served by the program to include only those townships, boroughs and parts of townships that currently remain subject to quarantine orders related to the presence of PPV in those areas. These include the following areas in Adams, Cumberland and York Counties:

Adams County:

   That portion of Menallen Township as described at 35 Pa.B. 6543 (December 3, 2005).

   That portion of Franklin Township as described at 36 Pa.B 6108 (October 7, 2006).

   That portion of Tyrone Township as described at 36 Pa.B. 7298 (December 2, 2006).

   That portion of Butler Township as described at 33 Pa.B. 5087 (October 11, 2003).

Cumberland County

   South Middleton Township.
   Borough of Mount Holly Springs.

York County

   Monaghan Township

   Growers with blocks of stone fruit trees in any of the above-designated areas are eligible to participate in the Program for as long as a Department-issued PPV-related quarantine order remains in effect with respect to that area.

   Any area that is subsequently made subject to a Department-issued PPV-related quarantine shall also be considered part of the ''core area'' served by the Program, and growers within such an area shall be eligible to participate in the Program.

   The Program remains in full force and effect, amended only to the extent described in this order.
