Fiscal Impact Statement:
The Commission estimates there will be no additional costs incurred by the State and its political subdivisions in complying with the proposed amendment to this regulation.
Statement of Need and Reasonableness:
The State Crop Pest Commission is authorized by law (Section46-9-40) to promulgate and enforce reasonable regulations to eradicate or prevent the introduction, spread or dissemination of plant pests. Plant pests are by definition (Section46-9-15(5)) any living state of insects, mites, nematodes, slugs, animals, protozoa, snails or other invertebrate animals, bacteria, weeds, fungi, other parasitic plants...which directly or indirectly may injure or cause disease or damage in plants...and which may be a serious agricultural threat to the State, as determined by the Director.
The State Crop Pest Commission is responsible for control of plant pests which constitute a threat to production agriculture. In so doing, the Commission is the primary contact point for cooperation with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The Commission proposes to designate certain organisms as plant pests. These organisms are already designated as noxious weeds by state and/or federal authorities or are under domestic federal quarantine. The tropical soda apple, the most recently designated noxious weed, currently infests over one million acres of improved pastures, citrus groves, ditches, row crop land, sod farms, forest land and natural areas in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. It spreads rapidly, grows to a height of 3-6 feet, is thorny, and is costly to eradicate. As a result of a statewide alert, it has been discovered in South Carolina, transmitted from Florida through mulch/manure.
Once a plant pest has been designated, the Commission has the authority to impose control measures, up to and including, quarantine of the premises. However, the Director, as the Commission's designee, retains the discretion to determine that a plant pest has become so widespread that further control measures are not warranted.
