The primary objective of this APHIS-PPQ manual is to protect the agriculture of the Western United States by preventing the artificial spread of the Japanese beetle from the Eastern United States. Artificial spread is the movement of an organism to a new area by other than natural means; in this case, artificial spread refers specifically to the movement of JBs on aircraft. This Japanese Beetle Program Manual will help APHIS-PPQ personnel and cooperators prevent the artificial spread of the JB. Nine Western States need to be protected from infestation by the Japanese beetle: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington; therefore, these States are known as the Protected States. Specifically, this manual will address the following tasks: Monitoring airports in JB-infested areas; Determining the risk at JB-infested airports; Issuing Emergency Action Notifications (EANs); Canceling Emergency Action Notifications; Monitoring airports in JB-free areas; Treating aircraft; Treating grounds; Using Compliance Agreements (CAs). / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2005-102715. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
