Agriculture Subtitle B Regulations Of The Department Of Agriculture (Continued) 7 CFR 300-399
Part 301 - We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the gypsy moth regulations by adding Delaware and Franklin Counties in Ohio and Monroe County in West Virginia to the list of generally infested areas based upon the detection of infestations of gypsy moth in those counties. As a result of the interim rule, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is restricted. The interim rule was necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the gypsy moth to noninfested States. [72 FR 41216]

Aeronautics And Space 14 CFR 1-59
Part 25 - These special conditions are issued for Cessna Model 650 airplanes modified by Columbia Avionics, Inc.

The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF).
