Resumen

This Chapter seeks to control the spread of noxious weeds which interfere with the growth of useful plants, clog waterways, cause disease, or have other adverse effects upon man or his environment and which are therefore detrimental to agriculture and commerce. "Noxious weed" is defined as any living stage (including but not limited to, seeds and reproductive parts) of any parasitic or other plant of a kind, or subdivision of a kind, which is of foreign origin, is new to or not widely prevalent in the United States, and can directly or indirectly injure crops, other useful plants, livestock, or poultry or other interests of agriculture, including irrigation, navigation, fish and wildlife resources of public health. The Chapter revolves around the basic prohibition to import noxious weeds identified by regulation promulgated by the Secretary into or through the United States or move any noxious weed interstate, unless the movement is in accordance with such conditions, including permits, as the Secretary may prescribe by regulation. Other provisions concern quarantine and inspection measures, emergency measures to prevent dissemination, penalties, management programs for undesirable plants on Federal lands. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to shipments of seed subject to the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. 1551 et seq.) and this chapter shall not amend or repeal any of the provisions of said Act or of the Plant Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912 (7 U.S.C. 151-154, 156-164a, 167), the Federal Plant Pest Act (7 U.S.C. 150aa-150jj), or any other Federal laws.
