This revision supersedes B. E. P. Q. 386, as revised effective July 19, 1948. These instructions shall become effective November 5^ 1951 ^ and shall thereafter remain in effect until further modified or revoked. The foregoing administrative instructions add several articles to the list of those that may move interstate from the regulated areas without certification. Accordingly they relieve restrictions now in effect. Several items included in the previous list have been omitted because they are no longer being shipped, or "chey are not woody -stemmed plants or parts thereof and therefore are not subject to the certification requirements. In order to be of maximum benefit to shippers of these articles, the exemptions should be made available as soon as possible. Therefore, pursuant to section k of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U. S. 0. 1003) it is found upon good cause that notice and public procedure on the fore- going administrative instructions are unnecessary, Impracticable, and contrary to the public interest, and since these instructions relieve restrictions they may properly be made effective under said section ^t- less than thirty days after their publication in the Federal Register.
