TITLE: Notice of Cultivars Exempt from 6 NYCRR Part 575 Regulations

PROJECT LOCATIONS: Statewide

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A regulation, 6 NYCRR Part 575 Prohibited and Regulated Invasive Species, was adopted in July 2014 that prohibits or regulates the possession, transport, importation, sale, purchase and introduction of certain invasive species. The purpose of this regulation is to help control invasive species by reducing their introduction and spread.

This regulation became effective March 10, 2015. Section 575.8 of the regulation provides an exemption for cultivars of prohibited or regulated species for which the Department of Environmental Conservation determines that: 1) the primary means of reproduction of the cultivar’s parent species is sexual, not vegetative, and 2) that the cultivar and its offspring do not revert to express the invasive characteristics of the parent.

The Department has assessed several cultivars of prohibited and regulated species, using a standard scientifically rigorous assessment protocol, and has determined that the cultivars listed below meet the exemption qualifications of 575.8 (a)(4). Individual cultivar assessments are available upon request. Therefore, a person may legally possess, sell, import, purchase, transport, or introduce the following plant cultivars and no labeling requirements apply:

Prohibited Species

Regulated Species

Conditionally Exempt – Cultivars exempt from Part 575 Prohibited and Regulated requirements, subject to periodic re-evaluation.

Questions should be directed to: Department of Environmental Conservation, Lands and Forests, Invasive Species Coordination Unit, Dave Adams at (518) 402-9405, or [email protected]
