                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, January 1, 2017), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE

    Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of 
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. 
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date 
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected 
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to 
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult 
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published 
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.

``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY

    The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of 
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a 
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used 
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and 
not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as 
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that 
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after 
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please 
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and 
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 
or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities 
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an 
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in 
this volume.

[[Page vii]]

    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.
    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

route disposition in commercial channels;
    (2) A plant that is operated by a duly accredited college or 
university disposing of fluid milk products only through the operation 
of its own facilities with no route disposition in commercial channels;
    (3) A plant from which the total route disposition is for

      Subpart E_Rules of Practice and Procedure Governing Handlers



Sec. 1000.27  Handler responsibility for records and facilities.

    Each handler shall maintain and retain records of its operations and 
make such records and its facilities available to the market 
administrator. If adequate records of a handler, or of any other 
persons, that are relevant to the obligation of such handler are not 
maintained and made available, any skim milk and butterfat required to 
be reported by such handler for which adequate records are not available 
shall be considered as used in the highest-priced class.
    (a) Records to be maintained. (1) Each handler shall maintain 
records of its

[[Page 12]]

operations (including, but not limited to, records of purchases, sales, 
processing, packaging, and disposition) as are necessary to verify 
whether such handler has any obligation under the order and if so, the 
amount of such obligation. Such records shall be such as to establish 
for each plant or other receiving point for each month:
    (i) The quantities of skim milk and butterfat contained in, or 
represented by, products received in any form, including inventories on 
hand at the beginning of the month, according to form, time, and source 
of each receipt;
    (ii) The utilization of all skim milk and butterfat showing the 
respective quantities of such skim milk and butterfat in each form 
disposed of or on hand at the end of the month; and
    (iii) Payments to producers, dairy farmers, and cooperative 
associations, including the amount and nature of any deductions and the 
disbursement of money so deducted.
    (2) Each handler shall keep such other specific records as the 
market administrator deems necessary to verify or establish such 
handler's obligation under the order.
    (b) Availability of records and facilities. Each handler shall make 
available all records pertaining to such handler's operations and all 
facilities the market administrator finds are necessary to verify the 
information required to be reported by the order and/or to ascertain 
such handler's reporting, monetary, or other obligation under the order. 
Each handler shall permit the market administrator to weigh, sample, and 
test milk and milk products and observe plant operations and equipment 
and make available to the market administrator such facilities as are 
necessary to carry out his/her duties.
    (c) Retention of records. All records required under the order to be 
made available to the market administrator shall be retained by the 
handler for a period of 3 years to begin at the end of the month to 
which such records pertain. If, within such 3-year period, the market 
administrator notifies the handler in writing that the retention of such 
records, or of specified records, is necessary in connection with a 
proceeding under section 8c(15)(A) of the Act or a court action 
specified in such notice, the handler shall retain such records, or 
specified records, until further written notification from the market 
administrator. The market administrator shall give further written 
notification to the handler promptly upon the termination of the 
litigation or when the records are no longer necessary in connection 
therewith.



Sec. 1000.28  Termination of obligations.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, 
the obligation of any handler to pay money required to be paid under the 
terms of the order shall terminate 2 years after the last day of the 
month during which the market administrator receives the handler's 
report of receipts and utilization on which such obligation is based, 
unless within such 2-year period, the market administrator notifies the 
handler in writing that such money is due and payable. Service of such 
written notice shall be complete upon mailing to the handler's last 
known address and it shall contain, but need not be limited to, the 
following information:
    (1) The amount of the obligation;
    (2) The month(s) on which such obligation is based; and
    (3) If the obligation is payable to one or more producers or to a 
cooperative association, the name of such producer(s) or such 
cooperative association, or if the obligation is payable to the market 
administrator, the account for which it is to be paid.
    (b) If a handler fails or refuses, with respect to any obligation 
under the order, to make available to the market administrator all 
records required by the order to be made available, the market 
administrator may notify the handler in writing, within the 2-year 
period provided for in paragraph (a) of this section, of such failure or 
refusal. If the market administrator so notifies a handler, the said 2-
year period with respect to such obligation shall not begin to run until 
the first day of the month following the month during which all such 
records pertaining to such obligation are made available to the market 
administrator.
    (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section, a handler's obligation under the order to

[[Page 13]]

pay money shall not be terminated with respect to any transaction 
involving fraud or willful concealment of a fact, material to the 
obligation, on the part of the handler against whom the obligation is 
sought to be imposed.
    (d) Unless the handler files a petition pursuant to section 
8c(15)(A) of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations (7 CFR 
900.50 through 900.71) within the applicable 2-year period indicated 
below, the obligation of the market administrator:
    (1) To pay a handler any money which such handler claims is due 
under the terms of the order shall terminate 2 years after the end of 
the month during which the skim milk and butterfat involved in the claim 
were received; or
    (2) To refund any payment made by a handler (including a deduction 
or offset by the market administrator) shall terminate 2 years after the 
end of the month during which payment was made by the handler.

Sec. 1000.41  [Reserved]



Sec. 1000.42  Classification of transfers and diversions.

    (a) Transfers and diversions to pool plants. Skim milk or butterfat 
transferred or diverted in the form of a fluid milk product or 
transferred in the form of a bulk fluid cream product from a pool plant 
or a handler described in Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter to another pool 
plant shall be classified as Class I milk unless the handlers both 
request the same classification in another class. In either case, the 
classification shall be subject to the following conditions:
    (1) The skim milk and butterfat classified in each class shall be 
limited to the amount of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, 
remaining in such class at the receiving plant after the computations 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(9) and the corresponding step of 
Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (2) If the transferring plant received during the month other source 
milk to be allocated pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3) or the corresponding 
step of Sec. 1000.44(b), the skim milk or butterfat so transferred shall 
be classified so as to allocate the least possible Class I utilization 
to such other source milk; and
    (3) If the transferring handler received during the month other 
source milk to be allocated pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) or (9) or the 
corresponding steps of Sec. 1000.44(b), the skim milk or butterfat so 
transferred, up to the total of the skim milk and butterfat, 
respectively, in such receipts of other source milk, shall not be 
classified as Class I milk to a greater extent than would be the case if 
the other source milk had been received at the receiving plant.
    (b) Transfers and diversions to a plant regulated under another 
Federal order. Skim milk or butterfat transferred or diverted in the 
form of a fluid milk product or transferred in the form of a bulk fluid 
cream product from a pool plant to a plant regulated under another 
Federal order shall be classified in the following manner. Such 
classification shall apply only to the skim milk or butterfat that is in 
excess of any receipts at the pool plant from a plant regulated under 
another Federal order of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, in fluid 
milk products and bulk fluid cream products, respectively, that are in 
the same category as described in paragraph (b)(1) or (2) of this 
section:
    (1) As Class I milk, if transferred as packaged fluid milk products;
    (2) If transferred or diverted in bulk form, classification shall be 
in the classes to which allocated under the other order:
    (i) If the operators of both plants so request in their reports of 
receipts and utilization filed with their respective market 
administrators, transfers in bulk form shall be classified as other than 
Class I to the extent that such utilization is available for such 
classification pursuant to the allocation provisions of the other order;
    (ii) If diverted, the diverting handler must request a 
classification other than Class I. If the plant receiving the

[[Page 15]]

diverted milk does not have sufficient utilization available for the 
requested classification and some of the diverted milk is consequently 
assigned to Class I use, the diverting handler shall be given the option 
of designating the entire load of diverted milk as producer milk at the 
plant physically receiving the milk. Alternatively, if the diverting 
handler so chooses, it may designate which dairy farmers whose milk was 
diverted during the month will be designated as producers under the 
order physically receiving the milk. If the diverting handler declines 
to accept either of these options, the market administrator will prorate 
the portion of diverted milk in excess of Class II, III, and IV use 
among all the dairy farmers whose milk was received from the diverting 
handler on the last day of the month, then the second-to-last day, and 
continuing in that fashion until the excess diverted milk has been 
assigned as producer milk under the receiving order; and
    (iii) If information concerning the classes to which such transfers 
or diversions were allocated under the other order is not available to 
the market administrator for the purpose of establishing classification 
under this paragraph, classification shall be Class I, subject to 
adjustment when such information is available.
    (c) Transfers and diversions to producer-handlers and to exempt 
plants. Skim milk or butterfat that is transferred or diverted from a 
pool plant to a producer-handler under any Federal order or to an exempt 
plant shall be classified:
    (1) As Class I milk if transferred or diverted to a producer-
handler;
    (2) As Class I milk if transferred to an exempt plant in the form of 
a packaged fluid milk product; and
    (3) In accordance with the utilization assigned to it by the market 
administrator if transferred or diverted in the form of a bulk fluid 
milk product or transferred in the form of a bulk fluid cream product to 
an exempt plant. For this purpose, the receiving handler's utilization 
of skim milk and butterfat in each class, in series beginning with Class 
IV, shall be assigned to the extent possible to its receipts of skim 
milk and butterfat, in bulk fluid cream products, and bulk fluid milk 
products, respectively, pro rata to each source.
    (d) Transfers and diversions to other nonpool plants. Skim milk or 
butterfat transferred or diverted in the following forms from a pool 
plant to a nonpool plant that is not a plant regulated under another 
order, an exempt plant, or a producer-handler plant shall be classified:
    (1) As Class I milk, if transferred in the form of a packaged fluid 
milk product; and
    (2) As Class I milk, if transferred or diverted in the form of a 
bulk fluid milk product or transferred in the form of a bulk fluid cream 
product, unless the following conditions apply:
    (i) If the conditions described in paragraphs (d)(2)(i)(A) and (B) 
of this section are met, transfers or diversions in bulk form shall be 
classified on the basis of the assignment of the nonpool plant's 
utilization, excluding the milk equivalent of both nonfat milk solids 
and concentrated milk used in the plant during the month, to its 
receipts as set forth in paragraphs (d)(2)(ii) through (viii) of this 
section:
    (A) The transferring handler or diverting handler claims such 
classification in such handler's report of receipts and utilization 
filed pursuant to Sec. __.30 of each Federal milk order for the month 
within which such transaction occurred; and
    (B) The nonpool plant operator maintains books and records showing 
the utilization of all skim milk and butterfat received at such plant 
which are made available for verification purposes if requested by the 
market administrator;
    (ii) Route disposition in the marketing area of each Federal milk 
order from the nonpool plant and transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from such nonpool plant to plants fully regulated thereunder 
shall be assigned to the extent possible in the following sequence:
    (A) Pro rata to receipts of packaged fluid milk products at such 
nonpool plant from pool plants;
    (B) Pro rata to any remaining unassigned receipts of packaged fluid 
milk products at such nonpool plant from plants regulated under other 
Federal orders;

[[Page 16]]

    (C) Pro rata to receipts of bulk fluid milk products at such nonpool 
plant from pool plants; and
    (D) Pro rata to any remaining unassigned receipts of bulk fluid milk 
products at such nonpool plant from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders;
    (iii) Any remaining Class I disposition of packaged fluid milk 
products from the nonpool plant shall be assigned to the extent possible 
pro rata to any remaining unassigned receipts of packaged fluid milk 
products at such nonpool plant from pool plants and plants regulated 
under other Federal orders;
    (iv) Transfers of bulk fluid milk products from the nonpool plant to 
a plant regulated under any Federal order, to the extent that such 
transfers to the regulated plant exceed receipts of fluid milk products 
from such plant and are allocated to Class I at the receiving plant, 
shall be assigned to the extent possible in the following sequence:
    (A) Pro rata to receipts of fluid milk products at such nonpool 
plant from pool plants; and
    (B) Pro rata to any remaining unassigned receipts of fluid milk 
products at such nonpool plant from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders;
    (v) Any remaining unassigned Class I disposition from the nonpool 
plant shall be assigned to the extent possible in the following 
sequence:
    (A) To such nonpool plant's receipts from dairy farmers who the 
market administrator determines constitute regular sources of Grade A 
milk for such nonpool plant; and
    (B) To such nonpool plant's receipts of Grade A milk from plants not 
fully regulated under any Federal order which the market administrator 
determines constitute regular sources of Grade A milk for such nonpool 
plant;
    (vi) Any remaining unassigned receipts of bulk fluid milk products 
at the nonpool plant from pool plants and plants regulated under other 
Federal orders shall be assigned, pro rata among such plants, to the 
extent possible first to any remaining Class I utilization and then to 
all other utilization, in sequence beginning with Class IV at such 
nonpool plant;
    (vii) Receipts of bulk fluid cream products at the nonpool plant 
from pool plants and plants regulated under other Federal orders shall 
be assigned, pro rata among such plants, to the extent possible to any 
remaining utilization, in sequence beginning with Class IV at such 
nonpool plant; and
    (viii) In determining the nonpool plant's utilization for purposes 
of this paragraph, any fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products 
transferred from such nonpool plant to a plant not fully regulated under 
any Federal order shall be classified on the basis of the second plant's 
utilization using the same assignment priorities at the second plant 
that are set forth in this paragraph.



Sec. 1000.43  General classification rules.

    In determining the classification of producer milk pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44, the following rules shall apply:
    (a) Each month the market administrator shall correct for 
mathematical and other obvious errors all reports filed pursuant to 
Sec. __.30 of each Federal milk order and shall compute separately for 
each pool plant, for each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) and 
Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter, the pounds of skim milk and butterfat, 
respectively, in each class in accordance with Secs. 1000.40 and 
1000.42, and paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Shrinkage and Overage. For purposes of classifying all milk 
reported by a handler pursuant to Sec. __.30 of each Federal milk order 
the market administrator shall determine the shrinkage or overage of 
skim milk and butterfat for each pool plant and each handler described 
in Sec. 1000.9(c) and Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter by subtracting total 
utilization from total receipts. Any positive difference shall be 
shrinkage, and any negative difference shall be overage.
    (1) Shrinkage incurred by pool plants qualified pursuant to 
Sec. __.7 of any Federal milk order shall be assigned to the lowest-
priced class to the extent that such shrinkage does not exceed:
    (i) Two percent of the total quantity of milk physically received at 
the plant directly from producers' farms on the basis of farm weights 
and tests;
    (ii) Plus 1.5 percent of the quantity of bulk milk physically 
received on a basis other than farm weights and

[[Page 17]]

tests, excluding concentrated milk received by agreement for other than 
Class I use;
    (iii) Plus .5 percent of the quantity of milk diverted by the plant 
operator to another plant on a basis other than farm weights and tests; 
and
    (iv) Minus 1.5 percent of the quantity of bulk milk transferred to 
other plants, excluding concentrated milk transferred by agreement for 
other than Class I use.
    (2) A handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) or Sec. 1135.11 of this 
chapter that delivers milk to plants on a basis other than farm weights 
and tests shall receive a lowest-priced-class shrinkage allowance of .5 
percent of the total quantity of such milk picked up at producers' 
farms.
    (3) Shrinkage in excess of the amounts provided in paragraphs (b)(1) 
and (2) of this section shall be assigned to existing utilization in 
series starting with Class I. The shrinkage assigned pursuant to this 
paragraph shall be added to the handler's reported utilization and the 
result shall be known as the gross utilization in each class.
    (c) If any of the water but none of the nonfat solids contained in 
the milk from which a product is made is removed before the product is 
utilized or disposed of by the handler, the pounds of skim milk in such 
product that are to be considered under this part as used or disposed of 
by the handler shall be an amount equivalent to the nonfat milk solids 
contained in such product plus all of the water originally associated 
with such solids. If any of the nonfat solids contained in the milk from 
which a product is made are removed before the product is utilized or 
disposed of by the handler, the pounds of skim milk in such product that 
are to be considered under this part as used or disposed of by the 
handler shall be an amount equivalent to the nonfat milk solids 
contained in such product plus all of the water and nonfat solids 
originally associated with such solids determined on a protein 
equivalent basis.
    (d) Skim milk and butterfat contained in receipts of bulk 
concentrated fluid milk and nonfluid milk products that are 
reconstituted for fluid use shall be assigned to Class I use, up to the 
reconstituted portion of labeled reconstituted fluid milk products, on a 
pro rata basis (except for any Class I use of specific concentrated 
receipts that is established by the handler) prior to any assignments 
under Sec. 1000.44. Any remaining skim milk and butterfat in 
concentrated receipts shall be assigned to uses under Sec. 1000.44 on a 
pro rata basis, unless a specific use of such receipts is established by 
the handler.

[64 FR 47899, Sept. 1, 1999, as amended at 75 FR 51931, Aug. 24, 2010]



Sec. 1000.44  Classification of producer milk.

    For each month the market administrator shall determine for each 
handler described in Sec. 1000.9(a) for each pool plant of the handler 
separately and for each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) and 
Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter the classification of producer milk by 
allocating the handler's receipts of skim milk and butterfat to the 
handler's gross utilization of such receipts pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(b)(3) as follows:
    (a) Skim milk shall be allocated in the following manner:
    (1) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk in Class I the pounds of 
skim milk in:
    (i) Receipts of packaged fluid milk products from an unregulated 
supply plant to the extent that an equivalent amount of skim milk 
disposed of to such plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal 
order is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as an 
offset for any other payment obligation under any order;
    (ii) Packaged fluid milk products in inventory at the beginning of 
the month. This paragraph shall apply only if the pool plant was subject 
to the provisions of this paragraph or comparable provisions of another 
Federal order in the immediately preceding month;
    (iii) Fluid milk products received in packaged form from plants 
regulated under other Federal orders; and
    (iv) To the extent that the receipts described in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section exceed the gross Class I 
utilization of skim milk, the excess receipts shall be subtracted 
pursuant to paragraph (a)(3)(vi) of this section.

[[Page 18]]

    (2) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk in Class II the pounds of 
skim milk in the receipts of skim milk in bulk concentrated fluid milk 
products and in other source milk (except other source milk received in 
the form of an unconcentrated fluid milk product or a fluid cream 
product) that is used to produce, or added to, any product in Class II 
(excluding the quantity of such skim milk that was classified as Class 
IV milk pursuant to Sec. 1000.40(d)(3)). To the extent that the receipts 
described in this paragraph exceed the gross Class II utilization of 
skim milk, the excess receipts shall be subtracted pursuant to paragraph 
(a)(3)(vi) of this section.
    (3) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class, 
in series beginning with Class IV, the pounds of skim milk in:
    (i) Receipts of bulk concentrated fluid milk products and other 
source milk (except other source milk received in the form of an 
unconcentrated fluid milk product);
    (ii) Receipts of fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products 
for which appropriate health approval is not established and from 
unidentified sources;
    (iii) Receipts of fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products 
from an exempt plant;
    (iv) Fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products received from 
a producer-handler as defined under the order in this part, or any other 
Federal order;
    (v) Receipts of fluid milk products from dairy farmers for other 
markets; and
    (vi) The excess receipts specified in paragraphs (a)(1)(iv) and 
(a)(2) of this section.
    (4) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in all classes 
other than Class I, in sequence beginning with Class IV, the receipts of 
fluid milk products from an unregulated supply plant that were not 
previously subtracted in this section for which the handler requests 
classification other than Class I, but not in excess of the pounds of 
skim milk remaining in these other classes combined.
    (5) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in all classes 
other than Class I, in sequence beginning with Class IV, receipts of 
fluid milk products from an unregulated supply plant that were not 
previously subtracted in this section, and which are in excess of the 
pounds of skim milk determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(5)(i) and (ii) 
of this section;
    (i) Multiply by 1.25 the pounds of skim milk remaining in Class I at 
this allocation step; and
    (ii) Subtract from the result in paragraph (a)(5)(i) the pounds of 
skim milk in receipts of producer milk and fluid milk products from 
other pool plants.
    (6) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in all classes 
other than Class I, in sequence beginning with Class IV, the pounds of 
skim milk in receipts of bulk fluid milk products from a handler 
regulated under another Federal order that are in excess of bulk fluid 
milk products transferred or diverted to such handler, if other than 
Class I classification is requested, but not in excess of the pounds of 
skim milk remaining in these classes combined.
    (7) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class, 
in series beginning with Class IV, the pounds of skim milk in fluid milk 
products and bulk fluid cream products in inventory at the beginning of 
the month that were not previously subtracted in this section.
    (8) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class at 
the plant receipts of skim milk in fluid milk products from an 
unregulated supply plant that were not previously subtracted in this 
section and that were not offset by transfers or diversions of fluid 
milk products to the unregulated supply plant from which fluid milk 
products to be allocated at this step were received. Such subtraction 
shall be pro rata to the pounds of skim milk in Class I and in Classes 
II, III, and IV combined, with the quantity prorated to Classes II, III, 
and IV combined being subtracted in sequence beginning with Class IV.
    (9) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class 
the pounds of skim milk in receipts of bulk fluid milk products from a 
handler regulated under another Federal order that are in excess of bulk 
fluid milk

[[Page 19]]

products transferred or diverted to such handler that were not 
subtracted in paragraph (a)(6) of this section. Such subtraction shall 
be pro rata to the pounds of skim milk in Class I and in Classes II, 
III, and IV combined, with the quantity prorated to Classes II, III, and 
IV combined being subtracted in sequence beginning with Class IV, with 
respect to whichever of the following quantities represents the lower 
proportion of Class I milk:
    (i) The estimated utilization of skim milk of all handlers in each 
class as announced for the month pursuant to Sec. 1000.45(a); or
    (ii) The total pounds of skim milk remaining in each class at this 
allocation step.
    (10) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class 
the pounds of skim milk in receipts of fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products from another pool plant and from a handler 
described in Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter according to the 
classification of such products pursuant to Sec. 1000.42(a).
    (11) If the total pounds of skim milk remaining in all classes 
exceed the pounds of skim milk in producer milk, subtract such excess 
from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class in series beginning 
with Class IV.
    (b) Butterfat shall be allocated in accordance with the procedure 
outlined for skim milk in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) The quantity of producer milk in each class shall be the 
combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat remaining in each class after 
the computations pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.



Sec. 1000.45  Market administrator's reports and announcements 
concerning classification.

    (a) Whenever required for the purpose of allocating receipts from 
plants regulated under other Federal orders pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(9) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), the 
market administrator shall estimate and publicly announce the 
utilization (to the nearest whole percentage) in Class I during the 
month of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, in producer milk of all 
handlers. The estimate shall be based upon the most current available 
data and shall be final for such purpose.
    (b) The market administrator shall report to the market 
administrators of other Federal orders as soon as possible after the 
handlers' reports of receipts and utilization are received, the class to 
which receipts from plants regulated under other Federal orders are 
allocated pursuant to Secs. 1000.43(d) and 1000.44 (including any 
reclassification of inventories of bulk concentrated fluid milk 
products), and thereafter any change in allocation required to correct 
errors disclosed on the verification of such report.
    (c) The market administrator shall furnish each handler operating a 
pool plant and each handler described in Sec. 1135.11 of this chapter 
who has shipped fluid milk products or bulk fluid cream products to a 
plant fully regulated under another Federal order the class to which the 
shipments were allocated by the market administrator of the other 
Federal order on the basis of the report by the receiving handler and, 
as necessary, any changes in the allocation arising from the 
verification of such report.
    (d) The market administrator shall report to each cooperative 
association which so requests, the percentage of producer milk delivered 
by members of the association that was used in each class by each 
handler receiving the milk. For the purpose of this report, the milk so 
received shall be prorated to each class in accordance with the total 
utilization of producer milk by the handler.

hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be the protein price 
per pound times 3.1 plus the other solids price per pound times 5.9.
    (j) Class IV price. The Class IV price per hundredweight, rounded to 
the nearest cent, shall be 0.965 times the Class IV skim milk price plus 
3.5 times the butterfat price.
    (k) Class IV skim milk price. The Class IV skim milk price per 
hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be the nonfat solids 
price per pound times 9.
    (l) Butterfat price. The butterfat price per pound, rounded to the 
nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be the U.S. average NASS AA Butter 
survey price reported by the Department for the month, less 17.15 cents, 
with the result multiplied by 1.211.
    (m) Nonfat solids price. The nonfat solids price per pound, rounded 
to the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be the U.S. average NASS nonfat 
dry milk survey price reported by the Department for the month, less

section an amount computed as follows:
    (i) Subtract 20.03 cents from the price computed pursuant to 
paragraph (n)(1) of this section and multiply the result by 1.572; and
    (ii) Subtract 0.9 times the butterfat price computed pursuant to 
paragraph (l) of this section from the amount computed pursuant to 
paragraph (n)(3)(i) of this section; and
    (iii) Multiply the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (n)(3)(ii) 
of this section by 1.17.
    (o) Other solids price. The other solids price per pound, rounded to 
the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be the U.S. average NASS dry whey 
survey price reported by the Department for the month minus 19.91 cents, 
with the result multiplied by 1.03.
    (p) Somatic cell adjustment. The somatic cell adjustment per 
hundredweight of milk shall be determined as follows:
    (1) Multiply 0.0005 by the weighted average price computed pursuant 
to paragraph (n)(1) of this section and round to the 5th decimal place;
    (2) Subtract the somatic cell count of the milk (reported in 
thousands) from 350; and
    (3) Multiply the amount computed in paragraph (p)(1) of this section 
by the amount computed in paragraph (p)(2) of this section and round to 
the nearest full cent.
    (q) Advanced pricing factors. For the purpose of computing the Class 
I skim milk price, the Class II skim milk price, the Class II nonfat 
solids price, and the Class I butterfat price for the following month, 
the following pricing factors shall be computed using the weighted 
average of the 2 most recent NASS U.S. average weekly survey prices 
announced before the 24th day of the month:
    (1) An advanced Class III skim milk price per hundredweight, rounded 
to the nearest cent, shall be computed as follows:
    (i) Following the procedure set forth in paragraphs (n) and (o) of 
this section, but using the weighted average of the 2 most recent NASS 
U.S. average weekly survey prices announced before the 24th day of the 
month, compute a protein price and an other solids price;
    (ii) Multiply the protein price computed in paragraph (q)(1)(i) of 
this section by 3.1;
    (iii) Multiply the other solids price per pound computed in 
paragraph (q)(1)(i) of this section by 5.9; and
    (iv) Add the amounts computed in paragraphs (q)(1)(ii) and (iii) of 
this section.
    (2) An advanced Class IV skim milk price per hundredweight, rounded 
to the nearest cent, shall be computed as follows:
    (i) Following the procedure set forth in paragraph (m) of this 
section, but using the weighted average of the 2 most recent NASS U.S. 
average weekly survey prices announced before the 24th day of the month, 
compute a nonfat solids price; and
    (ii) Multiply the nonfat solids price computed in paragraph 
(q)(2)(i) of this section by 9.
    (3) An advanced butterfat price per pound rounded to the nearest 
one-hundredth cent, shall be calculated by computing a weighted average 
of the 2 most recent U.S. average NASS AA Butter survey prices announced 
before the 24th day of the month, subtracting 17.15 cents from this 
average, and multiplying the result by 1.211.

                       Subpart H_Payments for Milk



Sec. 1000.70  Producer-settlement fund.

    The market administrator shall establish and maintain a separate 
fund known as the producer-settlement fund into which the market 
administrator shall deposit all payments made by handlers pursuant to 
Secs. ____.71, ____.76, and ____.77 of each Federal milk order and out 
of which the market administrator shall make all payments pursuant to 
Secs. ____.72 and ____.77 of each Federal milk order. Payments due any 
handler shall be offset by any payments due from that handler.



Sec. 1000.76  Payments by a handler operating a partially regulated 
distributing plant.

    On or before the 25th day after the end of the month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), the operator of a partially regulated 
distributing plant, other than a plant that is subject to marketwide 
pooling of producer returns under a State government's milk 
classification and pricing program, shall pay to the market 
administrator for the producer-settlement fund the amount computed 
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section or, if the handler submits the 
information specified in Secs. ____.30(b) and ____.31(b) of the order, 
the handler may elect to pay the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 
(b) of this section. A partially regulated distributing plant that is 
subject to marketwide pooling of producer returns under a State 
government's milk classification and pricing program shall pay the 
amount computed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section.
    (a) The payment under this paragraph shall be an amount resulting 
from the following computations:
    (1) From the plant's route disposition in the marketing area:
    (i) Subtract receipts of fluid milk products classified as Class I 
milk from pool plants, plants fully regulated under other Federal 
orders, and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c) and Sec. 1135.11 of 
this chapter, except those receipts subtracted under a similar provision 
of another Federal milk order;
    (ii) Subtract receipts of fluid milk products from another nonpool 
plant that is not a plant fully regulated under another Federal order to 
the extent that an equivalent amount of fluid milk products disposed of 
to the nonpool plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal order 
is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset 
for any payment obligation under any order; and
    (iii) Subtract the pounds of reconstituted milk made from nonfluid 
milk products which are disposed of as route disposition in the 
marketing area;
    (2) For orders with multiple component pricing, compute a Class I 
differential price by subtracting Class III price from the current 
month's Class I price. Multiply the pounds remaining after the 
computation in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section by the amount by 
which the Class I differential price exceeds the producer price 
differential, both prices to be applicable at the location of the 
partially regulated distributing plant except that neither the adjusted 
Class I differential price nor the adjusted producer price differential 
shall be less than zero;
    (3) For orders with skim milk and butterfat pricing, multiply the 
remaining pounds by the amount by which the Class I price exceeds the 
uniform price, both prices to be applicable at the location of the 
partially regulated distributing plant except that neither the adjusted 
Class I price nor the adjusted uniform price differential shall be less 
than the lowest announced class price; and
    (4) Unless the payment option described in paragraph (d) is 
selected, add the amount obtained from multiplying the pounds of labeled 
reconstituted milk included in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section by 
any positive difference between the Class I price applicable at the 
location of the partially regulated distributing plant (less $1.00 if 
the reconstituted milk is labeled as such) and the Class IV price.
    (b) The payment under this paragraph shall be the amount resulting 
from the following computations:
    (1) Determine the value that would have been computed pursuant to 
Sec. ____.60 of the order for the partially regulated distributing plant 
if

[[Page 45]]

the plant had been a pool plant, subject to the following modifications:
    (i) Fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products received at 
the plant from a pool plant, a plant fully regulated under another 
Federal order, and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c) and Sec. 1135.11 
of this chapter shall be allocated at the partially regulated 
distributing plant to the same class in which such products were 
classified at the fully regulated plant;
    (ii) Fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products transferred 
from the partially regulated distributing plant to a pool plant or a 
plant fully regulated under another Federal order shall be classified at 
the partially regulated distributing plant in the class to which 
allocated at the fully regulated plant. Such transfers shall be 
allocated to the extent possible to those receipts at the partially 
regulated distributing plant from the pool plant and plants fully 
regulated under other Federal orders that are classified in the 
corresponding class pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section. Any 
such transfers remaining after the above allocation which are in Class I 
and for which a value is computed pursuant to Sec. ____.60 of the order 
for the partially regulated distributing plant shall be priced at the 
statistical uniform price or uniform price, whichever is applicable, of 
the respective order regulating the handling of milk at the receiving 
plant, with such statistical uniform price or uniform price adjusted to 
the location of the nonpool plant (but not to be less than the lowest 
announced class price of the respective order); and
    (iii) If the operator of the partially regulated distributing plant 
so requests, the handler's value of milk determined pursuant to 
Sec. ____.60 of the order shall include a value of milk determined for 
each nonpool plant that is not a plant fully regulated under another 
Federal order which serves as a supply plant for the partially regulated 
distributing plant by making shipments to the partially regulated 
distributing plant during the month equivalent to the requirements of 
Sec. ____. 7(c) of the order subject to the following conditions:
    (A) The operator of the partially regulated distributing plant 
submits with its reports filed pursuant to Secs. ____.30(b) and 
____.31(b) of the order similar reports for each such nonpool supply 
plant;
    (B) The operator of the nonpool plant maintains books and records 
showing the utilization of all skim milk and butterfat received at the 
plant which are made available if requested by the market administrator 
for verification purposes; and
    (C) The value of milk determined pursuant to Sec. ____.60 for the 
unregulated supply plant shall be determined in the same manner 
prescribed for computing the obligation of the partially regulated 
distributing plant; and
    (2) From the partially regulated distributing plant's value of milk 
computed pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section, subtract:
    (i) The gross payments that were made for milk that would have been 
producer milk had the plant been fully regulated;
    (ii) If paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section applies, the gross 
payments by the operator of the nonpool supply plant for milk received 
at the plant during the month that would have been producer milk if the 
plant had been fully regulated; and
    (iii) The payments by the operator of the partially regulated 
distributing plant to the producer-settlement fund of another Federal 
order under which the plant is also a partially regulated distributing 
plant and, if paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section applies, payments 
made by the operator of the nonpool supply plant to the producer-
settlement fund of any order.
    (c) The operator of a partially regulated distributing plant that is 
subject to marketwide pooling of returns under a milk classification and 
pricing program that is imposed under the authority of a State 
government shall pay on or before the 25th day after the end of the 
month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) to the market administrator 
for the producer-settlement fund an amount computed as follows:
    After completing the computations described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) 
and (ii) of this section, determine the value of the remaining pounds of 
fluid milk

[[Page 46]]

products disposed of as route disposition in the marketing area by 
multiplying the hundredweight of such pounds by the amount, if greater 
than zero, that remains after subtracting the State program's class 
prices applicable to such products at the plant's location from the 
Federal order Class I price applicable at the location of the plant.
    (d) Any handler may elect partially regulated distributing plant 
status for any plant with respect to receipts of nonfluid milk 
ingredients that are reconstituted for fluid use. Payments may be made 
to the producer-settlement fund of the order regulating the producer 
milk used to produce the nonfluid milk ingredients at the positive 
difference between the Class I price applicable under the other order at 
the location of the plant where the nonfluid milk ingredients were 
processed and the Class IV price. This payment option shall apply only 
if a majority of the total milk received at the plant that processed the 
nonfluid milk ingredients is regulated under one or more Federal orders 
and payment may only be made to the producer-settlement fund of the 
order pricing a plurality of the milk used to produce the nonfluid milk 
ingredients. This payment option shall not apply if the source of the 
nonfluid ingredients used in reconstituted fluid milk products cannot be 
determined by the market administrator.



Sec. 1000.77  Adjustment of accounts.

    Whenever audit by the market administrator of any handler's reports, 
books, records, or accounts, or other verification discloses errors 
resulting in money due the market administrator from a handler, or due a 
handler from the market administrator, or due a producer or cooperative 
association from a handler, the market administrator shall promptly 
notify such handler of any amount so due and payment thereof shall be 
made on or before the next date for making payments as set forth in the 
provisions under which the error(s) occurred.



Sec. 1000.78  Charges on overdue accounts.

    Any unpaid obligation due the market administrator, producers, or 
cooperative associations from a handler pursuant to the provisions of 
the order shall be increased 1.0 percent each month beginning with the 
day following the date such obligation was due under the order. Any 
remaining amount due shall be increased at the same rate on the 
corresponding day of each succeeding month until paid. The amounts 
payable pursuant to this section shall be computed monthly on each 
unpaid obligation and shall include any unpaid charges previously 
computed pursuant to this section. The late charges shall accrue to the 
administrative assessment fund. For the purpose of this section, any 
obligation that was determined at a date later than prescribed by the 
order because of a handler's failure to submit a report to the market 
administrator when due shall be considered to have been payable by the 
date it would have been due if the report had been filed when due.



   Subpart I_Administrative Assessment and Marketing Service Deduction



Sec. 1000.85  Assessment for order administration.

    On or before the payment receipt date specified under Sec. ____.71 
of each Federal milk order each handler shall pay to the market 
administrator its pro rata share of the expense of administration of the 
order at a rate specified by the market administrator that is no more 
than 5 cents per hundredweight with respect to:
    (a) Receipts of producer milk (including the handler's own 
production) other than such receipts by a handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(c) that were delivered to pool plants of other handlers;
    (b) Receipts from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c);
    (c) Receipts of concentrated fluid milk products from unregulated 
supply plants and receipts of nonfluid milk products assigned to Class I 
use pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and other source milk allocated to Class 
I pursuant to

[[Page 47]]

Sec. 1000.44(a) (3) and (8) and the corresponding steps of 
Sec. 1000.44(b), except other source milk that is excluded from the 
computations pursuant to Sec. ____.60 (d) and (e) of parts 1005, 1006, 
and 1007 of this chapter or Sec. ____.60 (h) and (i) of parts 1001, 
1030, 1032, 1033, 1124, 1126, 1131, and 1135 of this chapter; and
    (d) Route disposition in the marketing area from a partially 
regulated distributing plant that exceeds the skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a)(1) (i) and (ii).



Sec. 1000.86  Deduction for marketing services.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each 
handler in making payments to producers for milk (other than milk of 
such handler's own production) pursuant to Sec. ____.73 of each Federal 
milk order shall deduct an amount specified by the market administrator 
that is no more than 7 cents per hundredweight and shall pay the amount 
deducted to the market administrator not later than the payment receipt 
date specified under Sec. ____.71 of each Federal milk order. The money 
shall be used by the market administrator to verify or establish 
weights, samples and tests of producer milk and provide market 
information for producers who are not receiving such services from a 
cooperative association. The services shall be performed in whole or in 
part by the market administrator or an agent engaged by and responsible 
to the market administrator.
    (b) In the case of producers for whom the market administrator has 
determined that a cooperative association is actually performing the 
services set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, each handler shall 
make deductions from the payments to be made to producers as may be 
authorized by the membership agreement or marketing contract between the 
cooperative association and the producers. On or before the 15th day 
after the end of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90), such 
deductions shall be paid to the cooperative association rendering the 
services accompanied by a statement showing the amount of any deductions 
and the amount of milk for which the deduction was computed for each 
producer. These deductions shall be made in lieu of the deduction 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section.



                   Subpart J_Miscellaneous Provisions



Sec. 1000.90  Dates.

    If a date required for a payment contained in a Federal milk order 
falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or national holiday, such payment will be 
due on the next day that the market administrator's office is open for 
public business.

Sec. 1001.4  Plant.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, plant means 
the land, buildings, facilities, and equipment constituting a single 
operating unit or establishment at which milk or milk products are 
received, processed, or packaged, including a facility described in 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section if the facility receives the milk of 
more than one dairy farmer.
    (b) Plant shall not include:
    (1) A separate building without stationary storage tanks that is 
used only as a reload point for transferring bulk milk from one tank 
truck to another or a separate building used only as a distribution 
point for storing packaged fluid milk products in transit for route 
disposition;

entity for the separation of cream and skim milk or the removal of water 
from milk; or
    (3) Bulk reload points where milk is transferred from one tank truck 
to another while en route from dairy farmers' farms to a plant. If 
stationary storage tanks are used for transferring milk at the premises, 
the operator of the facility shall make an advance written request to 
the market administrator that the facility shall be treated as a reload

Sec. 1001.5  Distributing plant.

    See Sec. 1000.5.



Sec. 1001.6  Supply plant.

    See Sec. 1000.6.



Sec. 1001.7  Pool plant.

    Pool plant means a plant, unit of plants, or system of plants as 
specified in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this section, but excluding a 
plant described in paragraph (h) of this section. The pooling standards 
described in paragraphs (c) and (f) of this section are subject to 
modification pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section.
    (a) A distributing plant, other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or Sec. ____.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 25 percent or more 
of the total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at the 
plant (excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by 
agreement for other than Class I use) are disposed of as route 
disposition or are transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk 
products to other distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route 
disposition and transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 25 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which fluid milk products are transferred or 
diverted to plants described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section 
subject to the additional conditions described in this paragraph. In the 
case of a supply plant operated by a cooperative association handler 
described in Sec. 1000.9(c), fluid milk products that the cooperative 
delivers to pool plants directly from producers' farms shall be treated 
as if transferred from the cooperative association's plant for the 
purpose of meeting the shipping requirements of this paragraph.
    (1) In each of the months of January through August and December, 
such shipments and transfers to distributing plants must not equal less 
than 10 percent of the total quantity of milk (except the milk of a 
producer described in Sec. 1001.12(b)) that is received at the plant or 
diverted from it pursuant to Sec. 1001.13 during the month;
    (2) In each of the months of September through November, such 
shipments and transfers to distributing plants must equal not less than 
20 percent of the total quantity of milk (except the milk of a producer 
described in Sec. 1001.12(b)) that is received at the plant or diverted 
from it pursuant to Sec. 1001.13 during the month;

[[Page 50]]

    (3) If milk is delivered directly from producers' farms that are 
located outside of the states included in the marketing area or outside 
Maine or West Virginia, such producers must be grouped by state into 
reporting units and each reporting unit must independently meet the 
shipping requirements of this paragraph; and
    (4) Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall be 
excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the percentages 
in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section.
    (d) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1001.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-Federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1001.7(a), (b), or (e);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (iii) The plant is described in Sec. 1000.8(a) or (e); or
    (iv) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1001.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (e) Two or more plants that are located in the marketing area and 
operated by the same handler may qualify as a unit by meeting the total 
and in-area route distribution requirements specified in paragraph (a) 
of this section subject to the following additional requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit qualifies as a pool 
distributing plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process at least 60 percent of 
monthly receipts of producer milk only as Class I or Class II products 
and must be located in the Northeast marketing area, as defined in 
Sec. 1001.2, in a pricing zone providing the same or a lower Class I 
price than the price applicable at the distributing plant(s) included in 
the unit; and
    (3) A written request to form a unit, or to add or remove plants 
from a unit, or to cancel a unit, must be filed with the market 
administrator prior to the first day of the month for which unit 
formation is to be effective.
    (f) Two or more supply plants operated by the same handler, or by 
one or more cooperative associations, may qualify for pooling as a 
system of plants by meeting the applicable percentage requirements of 
paragraph (c) of this section in the same manner as a single plant 
subject to the following additional requirements:
    (1) A supply plant system will be effective for the period of August 
1 through July 31 of the following year. Written notification must be 
given to the market administrator listing the plants to be included in 
the system prior to the first day of July preceding the effective date 
of the system. The plants included in the system shall be listed in the 
sequence in which they shall qualify for pool plant status based on the 
minimum deliveries required. If the deliveries made are insufficient to 
qualify the entire system for pooling, the last listed plant shall be 
excluded from the system, followed by the plant next-to-last on the 
list, and continuing in this sequence until remaining listed plants have 
met the minimum shipping requirements; and
    (2) Each plant that qualifies as a pool plant within a system shall 
continue each month as a plant in the system through the following July 
unless the plant subsequently fails to qualify for

[[Page 51]]

pooling, the handler submits a written notification to the market 
administrator prior to the first day of the month that the plant be 
deleted from the system, or that the system be discontinued. Any plant 
that has been so deleted from the system, or that has failed to qualify 
as a pool plant in any month, will not be part of the system for the 
remaining months through July. For any system that qualifies in August, 
no plant may be added in any subsequent month through the following July 
unless the plant replaces another plant in the system that has ceased 
operations and the market administrator is notified of such replacement 
prior to the first day of the month for which it is to be effective.
    (g) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (f) of 
this section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator 
if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to 
encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the requested 
revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is being 
considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to revise 
an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at least one 
day before the effective date.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler plant;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that 
is located within the marketing area if the plant also meets the pooling 
requirements of another Federal order and more than 50 percent of its 
route distribution has been in such other Federal order marketing area 
for 3 consecutive months;
    (4) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is not located within any Federal order marketing area that meets 
the pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater 
route disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that 
is located in another Federal order marketing area if the plant meets 
the pooling requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a 
majority of its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 
consecutive months or if the plant is required to be regulated under 
such other Federal order without regard to its route disposition in any 
other Federal order marketing area; and
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under 
the order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under 
the other Federal order.

to produce all Class I milk handled (excluding receipts from handlers 
fully regulated under any Federal order) and the processing and 
packaging operations are the producer-handler's own enterprise and at 
its own risk.
    (f) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions 
and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or more 
during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to the 
provisions described in Sec. 1131.7 of this chapter or Sec. 1000.76(a).

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, producer 
means any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted 
regulatory agency for fluid consumption as Grade A milk and whose milk 
(or components of milk) is:
    (1) Received at a pool plant directly from the producer or diverted

    (2) A dairy farmer whose milk is received at an exempt plant, 
excluding producer milk diverted to the exempt plant pursuant to 
Sec. 1001.13(d);
    (3) A dairy farmer whose milk is received by diversion at a pool 
plant from a handler regulated under another Federal order if the other 
Federal order designates the dairy farmer as a producer under that order 
and that milk is allocated by request to a utilization other than Class 
I;
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order;
    (5) For any month of December through June, any dairy farmer whose 
milk is received at a pool plant or by a cooperative association handler 
described in Sec. 1000.9(c) if the pool plant operator or the 
cooperative association caused milk from the same farm to be delivered 
to any plant as other than producer milk, as defined under the order in 
this part or any other Federal milk order, during the same month, either 
of the 2 preceding months, or during any of the preceding months of July 
through November; and
    (6) For any month of July through November, any dairy farmer whose 
milk is received at a pool plant or by a cooperative association handler 
described in Sec. 1000.9(c) if the pool plant operator or the

[[Page 53]]



Sec. 1001.13  Producer milk.

    Producer milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of 
components of skim milk) and butterfat contained in milk of a producer 
that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). Any milk which 
is picked up from the producer's farm in a tank truck under the control 
of the operator of a pool plant or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) 
but which is not received at a plant until the following month shall be 
considered as having been received by the handler during the month in 
which it is picked up at the farm. All milk received pursuant to this 
paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant where it is first 
physically received;
    (b) Received by the operator of a pool plant or a handler described 
in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of the quantity delivered to pool plants 
subject to the following conditions:
    (1) The producers whose farms are outside of the states included in 
the marketing area and outside the states of Maine or West Virginia 
shall be organized into state units and each such unit shall be reported 
separately; and
    (2) For pooling purposes, each reporting unit must satisfy the 
shipping standards specified for a supply plant pursuant to 
Sec. 1001.7(c);
    (c) Diverted by a proprietary pool plant operator to another pool 
plant. Milk so diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted; or
    (d) Diverted by the operator of a pool plant or by a handler 
described in Sec. 1000.9(c) to a nonpool plant, subject to the following 
conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion 
unless one day's milk production of such dairy farmer was physically 
received as producer milk and the dairy farmer has continuously retained 
producer status since that time. If a dairy farmer loses producer status 
under the order in this part (except as a result of a temporary loss of 
Grade A approval), the dairy farmer's milk shall not be eligible for 
diversion unless milk of the dairy farmer has been physically received 
as producer milk at a pool plant during the month;
    (2) Of the total quantity of producer milk received during the month 
(including diversion but excluding the quantity of producer milk 
received from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) or which is diverted 
to another pool plant), the handler diverted to nonpool plants not more 
than 80 percent during each of the months of September through November 
and 90 percent during each of the months of January through August and 
December. In the event that a handler causes the milk of a producer to 
be over diverted, a dairy farmer will not lose producer status;
    (3) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted.
    (4) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits set forth in paragraph 
(d)(2) of this section shall not be producer milk. The diverting handler 
shall designate the dairy farmer deliveries that shall not be producer 
milk. If the handler fails to designate the dairy farmer deliveries 
which are ineligible, producer milk status shall be forfeited with 
respect to all milk diverted to nonpool plants by such handler; and
    (5) The delivery day requirement and the diversion percentages in 
paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section may be increased or 
decreased by the Market Administrator if the Market Administrator finds 
that such revision is necessary to assure orderly marketing and 
efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. Before making such a 
finding, the Market Administrator shall investigate the need for the 
revision either on the Market Administrator's own initiative or at the 
request of interested persons if the request is made in writing at least 
15 days prior to the month for which the requested revision is desired 
to be effective. If the investigation shows that a revision might be 
appropriate, the Market Administrator shall issue a notice stating that 
the revision is being considered and inviting written data, views, and 
arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable percentage or delivery 
day requirement must be issued in writing at least one day before the 
effective date.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a

[[Page 54]]

marketwide equalization pool under a milk classification and pricing 
program imposed under the authority of another government entity.

utilization of skim milk, butterfat, milk protein, and other nonfat 
solids as the market administrator may prescribe.
    (b) Each handler operating a partially regulated distributing plant 
shall report with respect to such plant in the same manner as prescribed 
for reports required by paragraph (a) of this section. Receipts of milk 
that would have been producer milk if the plant had been fully regulated 
shall be reported in lieu of producer milk. The report shall show also 
the quantity of any reconstituted skim milk in route disposition in the 
marketing area.
    (c) Each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) shall report:
    (1) The product pounds, pounds of butterfat, pounds of protein, and 
the pounds of solids-not-fat other than protein (other solids) contained

Sec. 1001.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (h) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (i) of this 
section. Unless otherwise specified, the skim milk, butterfat, and the 
combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat referred to in this section 
shall result from the steps set forth in Sec. 1000.44(a), (b), and (c), 
respectively, and the nonfat components of producer milk in each class 
shall be based upon the proportion of such components in producer skim 
milk. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as labeled 
reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Class I value. (1) Multiply the pounds of skim milk in Class I 
by the Class I skim milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class II skim milk by the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value. (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III 
skim milk by the protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class IV skim milk by the nonfat solids price; and

[[Page 56]]

    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (f) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (g) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent that an 
equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such plant by 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is classified and 
priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for any other 
payment obligation under any order.
    (i) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1001.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month, the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1001.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions in 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1001.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1001.30;
    (b) Subtract the total of the values obtained by multiplying each 
handler's total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained 
in the milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1001.60 by the protein price, other solids price, and the butterfat 
price, respectively;
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1001.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and

[[Page 57]]

    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1001.60(h); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result, 
rounded to the nearest cent, shall be known as the producer price 
differential for the month.

[68 FR 7065, Feb. 12, 2003]



Sec. 1001.62  Announcement of producer prices.

    On or before the 14th day after the end of the month, the Market 
Administrator shall announce the following prices and information:
    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The average butterfat, protein, nonfat solids, and other solids 
content of producer milk; and
    (g) The statistical uniform price for milk containing 3.5 percent 
butterfat computed by combining the Class III price and the producer 
price differential.
    (h) If the 14th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or national holiday, 
the Market Administrator may have up to two additional business days to 
announce the producer price differential and the statistical uniform 
price.

later than two days after the announcement of the producer price 
differential and the statistical uniform price pursuant to Sec. 1001.62 
(except as provided for in Sec. 1000.90). Payment shall be the amount, 
if any, by which the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this section 
exceeds the amount specified in paragraph (b) of this section:
    (a) The total value of milk to the handler for the month as 
determined pursuant to Sec. 1001.60.
    (b) The sum of:
    (1) An amount obtained by multiplying the total hundredweight of 
producer milk as determined pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c) by the producer 
price differential as adjusted pursuant to Sec. 1001.75;
    (2) An amount obtained by multiplying the total pounds of protein, 
other solids, and butterfat contained in producer milk by the protein, 
other solids, and butterfat prices respectively; and
    (3) An amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat for which a value was computed pursuant to Sec. 1001.60(h) by 
the producer price differential as adjusted pursuant to Sec. 1001.75 for 
the location of the plant from which received.

    No later than the day after the due date required for payment to the 
Market Administrator pursuant to Sec. 1001.71 (except as provided in 
Sec. 1001.90), the Market Administrator shall pay to each handler the 
amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1001.71(b) 
exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1001.71(a). If, at such 
time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is insufficient to 
make all payments pursuant to this section, the Market Administrator 
shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete the payments as 
soon as the funds are available.

[70 FR 18963, Apr. 12, 2005]



Sec. 1001.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler that is not paying a cooperative association for 
producer milk shall pay each producer as follows:
    (1) Partial payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the 23rd day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by

[[Page 58]]

the producer on or before the 26th day of the month (except as provided 
in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the first 15 days of the month 
at not less than the lowest announced class price for the preceding 
month, less proper deductions authorized in writing by the producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, payment shall 
be made during the following month so it is received by each producer no 
later than the day after the required date of payment by the Market 
Administrator, pursuant to Sec. 1001.72, in an amount computed as 
follows:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received by the 
producer price differential for the month as adjusted pursuant to 
Sec. 1001.75;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of butterfat received by the butterfat 
price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the pounds of protein received by the protein price 
for the month;
    (iv) Multiply the pounds of other solids received by the other 
solids price for the month; and
    (v) Add the amounts computed in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (iv) of 
this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;
    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) One day before partial and final payments are due pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, each handler shall pay a cooperative 
association for milk received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received during the first 
15 days of the month from a cooperative association in any capacity, 
except as the operator of a pool plant, the payment shall be equal to 
the hundredweight of milk received multiplied by the lowest announced 
class price for the preceding month.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk milk/skimmed milk products 
received during the first 15 days of the month from a cooperative 
association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the partial 
payment shall be at the pool plant operator's estimated use value of the 
milk using the most recent class prices available at the receiving 
plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. Following the classification of bulk fluid milk 
products and bulk fluid cream products received during the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, 
the final payment for such receipts shall be determined as follows:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of Class I skim milk by the Class I 
skim milk price for the month at the receiving plant;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of Class I butterfat by the Class I 
butterfat price for the month at the receiving plant;
    (iii) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by 
the Class II nonfat solids price;
    (iv) Multiply the pounds of butterfat in Class II times the Class II 
butterfat price;
    (v) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV milk by the 
nonfat solids price for the month;
    (vi) Multiply the pounds of butterfat in Class III and Class IV milk 
by the butterfat price for the month;
    (vii) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III milk by the 
protein price for the month;
    (viii) Multiply the pounds of other solids in Class III milk by the 
other solids price for the month; and
    (ix) Add together the amounts computed in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) 
through (viii) of this section and from that sum deduct any payment made 
pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association

[[Page 59]]

during the month, including the milk of producers who are not members of 
such association and who the market administrator determines have 
authorized the cooperative association to collect payment for their 
milk, the final payment for such milk shall be an amount equal to the 
sum of the individual payments otherwise payable for such milk pursuant 
to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1001.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce payments 
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but by not more than 
the amount of the underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the 
next scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from the 
market administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
handler shall furnish each producer (except for a producer whose milk 
was received from a cooperative association handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or 9(c)), a supporting statement in such form that it may 
be retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and the payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The month and dates that milk was received from the producer, 
including the daily and total pounds of milk received;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat, protein, and other solids 
contained in the producer's milk;
    (4) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (5) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (6) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, or rate per pound of 
component, and the nature of each deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (7) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

Sec. 1005.7  Pool plant.

    Pool plant means a plant specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) of 
this section, a unit of plants as specified in paragraph (e) of this 
section, or a plant specified in paragraph (g) of this section but 
excluding a plant specified in paragraph (h) of this section. The 
pooling standards described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section 
are subject to modification pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section:
    (a) A distributing plant, other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or Sec. ____.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 50 percent or more 
of the fluid milk products physically received at such plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) are disposed of as route disposition or are 
transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and 
transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 50 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which 50 percent or more of the total 
quantity of milk that is physically received during

[[Page 62]]

the month from dairy farmers and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c), 
including milk that is diverted from the plant, is transferred to pool 
distributing plants. Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant 
to a distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall 
be excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the plant's 
shipping percentage.
    (d) A plant located within the marketing area or in the State of 
Virginia that is operated by a cooperative association if pool plant 
status under this paragraph is requested for such plant by the 
cooperative association and during the month at least 60 percent of the 
producer milk of members of such cooperative association is delivered 
directly from farms to pool distributing plants or is transferred to 
such plants as a fluid milk product (excluding concentrated milk 
transferred to a distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than 
Class I) from the cooperative's plant.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and that are 
located within the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit 
by meeting the total and in-area route disposition requirements 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section and the following additional 
requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process only Class I or Class II 
products and must be located in a pricing zone providing the same or a 
lower Class I price than the price applicable at the distributing plant 
included in the unit pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this section; and
    (3) A written request to form a unit, or to add or remove plants 
from a unit, must be filed with the market administrator prior to the 
first day of the month for which it is to be effective.
    (f) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (d) of 
this section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator 
if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to 
encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the date for which the requested 
revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is being 
considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to revise 
an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at least one 
day before the effective date.
    (g) Any distributing plant other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph Sec. 1005.(7)(a) or paragraph (b) of this 
section or Sec. ___.7(b) of any other Federal milk order or 
Sec. 1005.(7)(e) or Sec. 1000.(8)(a) or Sec. 1000.(8)(e); located within 
the marketing area as described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1005.2, from 
which there is route disposition and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products in any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) located within 
one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum prices for raw 
milk provided that 25 percent or more of the total quantity of fluid 
milk products physically received at such plant (excluding concentrated 
milk received from another plant by agreement for other than Class I 
use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or is transferred in the 
form of packaged fluid milk products to other plants. At least 25 
percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, in aggregate, are in 
any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) located within one or more 
States that require handlers to pay minimum prices for raw milk. Subject 
to the following exclusion:
    (1) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (2) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1005.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route disposition and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler plant;

[[Page 63]]

    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is not located within any Federal order marketing area, meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order, and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order marketing area for 3 consecutive 
months;
    (4) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is located in another Federal order marketing area, meets the 
pooling standards of the other Federal order, and has not had a majority 
of its route disposition in this marketing area for 3 consecutive months 
or is locked into pool status under such other Federal order without 
regard to its route disposition in any other Federal order marketing 
area;
    (5) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under such other order than are made to plants regulated under the order 
in this part, or such plant has automatic pooling status under such 
other order; and
    (6) That portion of a pool plant designated as a ``nonpool plant'' 
that is physically separate and operated separately from the pool 
portion of such plant. The designation of a portion of a regulated plant 
as a nonpool plant must be requested in writing by the handler and must 
be approved by the market administrator.

Sec. 1005.10  Producer-handler.

    Producer-handler means a person who:
    (a) Operates a dairy farm and a distributing plant from which there 
is route disposition in the marketing area, and from which total route 
disposition and packaged sales of fluid milk products to other plants

received from own farm production; and
    (d) Provides proof satisfactory to the market administrator that the 
care and management of the dairy animals and other resources necessary 
to produce all Class I milk handled, and the processing and packaging 
operations are the producer-handler's own enterprise and are operated at 
the producer-handler's own risk.
    (e) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions

described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or more 
during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to the 
provisions described in Sec. 1131.7 of this chapter or Sec. 1000.76(a).

diverted by the handler or cooperative association shall be producer 
milk;
    (6) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted; and

[[Page 65]]

    (7) The delivery day requirements and the diversion percentages in 
paragraphs (d)(1) through (4) of this section may be increased or 
decreased by the market administrator if the market administrator finds 
that such revision is necessary to assure orderly marketing and 
efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. Before making such a 
finding, the market administrator shall investigate the need for the 
revision either on the market administrator's own initiative or at the 
request of interested persons. If the investigation shows that a 
revision might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that the revision is being considered and inviting 
written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable 
percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before the

Sec. 1005.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (f) of this 
section. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as 
labeled reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat in producer milk 
that were classified in each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c) by the 
applicable skim milk and butterfat prices, and add the resulting 
amounts; except that for the months of January 2005 through March 2005, 
the Class I skim milk price for this purpose shall be the Class I skim 
milk price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(b) plus $0.04 per 
hundredweight, and the Class I butterfat price for this purpose shall be 
the Class I butterfat price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(c) plus 
$0.0004 per pound. The adjustments to the Class I skim milk and 
butterfat prices provided herein may be reduced by the market 
administrator for any month if the market administrator determines that 
the payments yet unpaid computed pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(5) and paragraph (g)(7) of this section will be less than the amount 
computed pursuant to paragraph (g)(6) of this section. The adjustments 
to the Class I skim milk and butterfat prices provided herein during the 
months of January 2005 through March 2005 shall be announced along with 
the prices announced in Sec. 1000.53(b);
    (b) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) by the respective skim 
milk and butterfat prices applicable at the location of the pool plant;
    (c) Multiply the difference between the Class IV price for the 
preceding month and the current month's Class I, II, or III price, as 
the case may be, by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (d) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat

[[Page 70]]

subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants;
    (e) Multiply the Class I skim milk and Class I butterfat prices 
applicable at the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from 
which an equivalent volume was received by the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products assigned to 
Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding such skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of fluid milk products from an unregulated supply 
plant to the extent that an equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat 
disposed of to such plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal 
milk order is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as 
an offset for any other payment obligation under any order.
    (f) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).
    (g) For the months of January 2005 through March 2005 for handlers 
who have submitted proof satisfactory to the market administrator to 
determine eligibility for reimbursement of transportation costs, 
subtract an amount equal to:
    (1) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool distributing plant which were delivered as a 
result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (2) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool supply plant that was then transferred to a pool 
distributing plant which were delivered as a result of hurricanes 
Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (3) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from a pool supply plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne;
    (4) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from another order plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne; and
    (5) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk transferred or 
diverted to a plant regulated under another Federal order or to other 
nonpool plants which were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, 
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne.
    (6) The total amount of payment to all handlers under this section 
shall be limited for each month to an amount determined by multiplying 
the total Class I producer milk for all handlers pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(c) times $0.04 per hundredweight.
    (7) If the cost of transportation computed pursuant to paragraphs 
(g)(1) through (5) of this section exceeds the amount computed pursuant 
to paragraph (g)(6) of this section, the market administrator shall 
prorate such payments to each handler based on the handler's proportion 
of transportation costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(5) of this section. Transportation costs submitted pursuant to 
paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section which are not paid as a 
result of such a proration shall be included in each subsequent month's 
transportation costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) 
of this section until paid, or until the time period for such payments 
is concluded.
    (8) The reimbursement of transportation costs pursuant to this 
section shall be the actual demonstrated cost of such transportation of 
bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section, or the miles of transportation

[[Page 71]]

on loads of bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs 
(g)(1) through (5) of this section multiplied by $2.25 per loaded mile, 
whichever is less.
    (9) For each handler, the reimbursement of transportation costs 
pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section for bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section 
shall be reduced by the amount of payments received for such milk 
movements from the transportation credit balancing fund pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.82.

Sec. 1005.61  Computation of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day of each month, the market administrator 
shall compute a uniform butterfat price, a uniform skim milk price, and 
a uniform price for producer milk receipts reported for the prior month. 
The report of any handler who has not made payments required pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.71 for the preceding month shall not be included in the 
computation of these prices, and such handler's report shall not be 
included in the computation for succeeding months until the handler has 
made full payment of outstanding monthly obligations.
    (a) Uniform butterfat price. The uniform butterfat price per pound, 
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be computed by:
    (1) Multiplying the pounds of butterfat in producer milk allocated 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(b) by the respective class 
butterfat prices;
    (2) Adding the butterfat value calculated in Sec. 1005.60(e) for 
other source milk allocated to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
the steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) that correspond to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) 
and Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) by the Class I price; and
    (3) Dividing the sum of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the sum of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source 
milk used to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section.
    (b) Uniform skim milk price. The uniform skim milk price per 
hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be computed as 
follows:
    (1) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.60 for all handlers;
    (2) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1005.75;
    (3) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (4) Subtract the value of the total pounds of butterfat for all 
handlers. The butterfat value shall be computed by multiplying the sum 
of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source milk used 
to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the butterfat price computed in paragraph (a) of this section;
    (5) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (i) The total skim pounds of producer milk; and
    (ii) The total skim pounds for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.60(e); and
    (6) Subtract not less than 4 cents and not more than 5 cents.
    (c) Uniform price. The uniform price per hundredweight, rounded to 
the nearest cent, shall be the sum of the following:
    (1) Multiply the uniform butterfat price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section times 3.5 pounds of butterfat; and
    (2) Multiply the uniform skim milk price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section times 96.5 pounds of skim milk.

Sec. 1005.62  Announcement of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day after the end of the month, the market 
administrator shall announce the uniform prices for the month computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1005.61.

Sec. 1005.70  Producer-settlement fund.

    See Sec. 1000.70.

[[Page 72]]



Sec. 1005.71  Payments to the producer-settlement fund.

    Each handler shall make a payment to the producer-settlement fund in 
a manner that provides receipt of the funds by the market administrator 
no later than the 12th day after the end of the month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90). Payment shall be the amount, if any, by which 
the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this section exceeds the amount 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section:
    (a) The total value of milk of the handler for the month as 
determined pursuant to Sec. 1005.60; and
    (b) The sum of the value at the uniform prices for skim milk and 
butterfat, adjusted for plant location, of the handler's receipts of 
producer milk; and the value at the uniform price, as adjusted pursuant 
to Sec. 1005.75, applicable at the location of the plant from which 
received of other source milk for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.60(e).



Sec. 1005.72  Payments from the producer-settlement fund.

    No later than one day after the date of payment receipt required 
under Sec. 1005.71, the market administrator shall pay to each handler 
the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1005.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1005.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler that is not paying a cooperative association for 
producer milk shall pay each producer as follows:
    (1) Partial payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the 23rd day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by the producer on or before the 26th day of the month 
(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the first 
15 days of the month at not less than 90 percent of the preceding 
month's uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.75 and proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, a payment 
computed as follows shall be made so that it is received by each 
producer one day after the payment date required in Sec. 1005.72:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of producer skim milk received times 
the uniform skim milk price for the month;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of butterfat received times the uniform 
butterfat price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received times the 
plant location adjustment pursuant to Sec. 1005.75; and
    (iv) Add the amounts computed in paragraph (a)(2)(i), (ii), and 
(iii) of this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;
    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) One day before partial and final payments are due pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, each handler shall pay a cooperative 
association for milk received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received during the first 
15 days of the month from a cooperative association in any capacity, 
except as the operator of a pool plant, the payment shall be equal to 
the hundredweight of milk received multiplied by 90 percent of the 
preceding month's uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.75.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool

[[Page 73]]

plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products 
received during the first 15 days of the month from a cooperative 
association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the partial 
payment shall be at the pool plant operator's estimated use value of the 
milk using the most recent class prices available for skim milk and 
butterfat at the receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream 
products received during the month from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the final payment shall be the 
classified value of such milk as determined by multiplying the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat assigned to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44 
by the class prices for the month at the receiving plant's location, and 
subtracting from this sum the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1005.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce payments 
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but by not more than 
the amount of the underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the 
next scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from the 
market administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
pool plant operator shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose 
milk was received from a cooperative association described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in such form that it may 
be retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and the payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The month and dates that milk was received from the producer, 
including the daily and total pounds of milk received;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat in the producer's milk;
    (4) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (5) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (6) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, and nature of each 
deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (7) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

provided in Sec. 1000.90 of this chapter), each handler operating a pool 
plant and each handler specified in Sec. 1000.9(c) shall pay to the 
market administrator a transportation credit balancing fund assessment 
determined by multiplying the pounds of Class I producer milk assigned 
pursuant to Sec. 1005.44 by $0.15 per hundredweight or such lesser 
amount as the market administrator deems necessary to maintain a balance 
in the fund equal to the total transportation credits disbursed during 
the prior June-February period. In the event that during any month of 
the June-February period the fund balance is insufficient to cover the 
amount of credits that are due, the assessment should be based upon the 
amount of credits that would had been disbursed had the fund balance 
been sufficient.
    (b) The market administrator shall announce publicly on or before

Sec. 1005.82  Payments from the transportation credit balancing fund.

    (a) Payments from the transportation credit balancing fund to 
handlers and cooperative associations requesting transportation credits 
shall be made as follows:
    (1) On or before the 13th day (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) 
after the end of each of the months of January, February and July 
through December and any other month in which transportation credits are 
in effect pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, the market 
administrator shall pay to each handler that received, and reported 
pursuant to Sec. 1005.30(a)(5), bulk milk transferred from a plant fully 
regulated under another Federal order as described in paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section or that received, and reported pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.30(a)(6), milk directly from producers'' farms as specified in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section, a preliminary amount determined 
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section to the extent that funds are 
available in the transportation credit balancing fund. If an 
insufficient balance exists to pay all of the credits computed pursuant 
to this section, the market administrator shall distribute the balance 
available in the transportation credit balancing fund by reducing 
payments prorata using the percentage derived by dividing the balance in 
the fund by the total credits that are due for the month. The amount of 
credits resulting from this initial proration shall be subject to audit 
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (2) The market administrator shall accept adjusted requests for 
transportation credits on or before the 20th day of the month following 
the month for which such credits were requested pursuant to 
Sec. 1005.32(a). After such date, a preliminary audit will be conducted 
by the market administrator, who will recalculate any necessary 
proration of transportation credit payments for the preceding month 
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section. Handlers will

[[Page 75]]

be promptly notified of an overpayment of credits based upon this final 
computation and remedial payments to or from the transportation credit 
balancing fund will be made on or before the next payment date for the 
following month.
    (3) Transportation credits paid pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) and 
(2) of this section shall be subject to final verification by the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1000.77. Adjusted payments to or from the 
transportation credit balancing fund will remain subject to the final 
proration established pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (4) In the event that a qualified cooperative association is the 
responsible party for whose account such milk is received and written 
documentation of this fact is provided to the market administrator 
pursuant to Sec. 1005.30(c)(3) prior to the date payment is due, the 
transportation credits for such milk computed pursuant to this section 
shall be made to such cooperative association rather than to the 
operator of the pool plant at which the milk was received.
    (b) The Market Administrator may extend the period during which 
transportation credits are in effect (i.e., the transportation credit 
period) to the month of June if a written request to do so is received 
15 days prior to the beginning of the month for which the request is 
made and, after conducting an independent investigation, finds that such 
extension is necessary to assure the market of an adequate supply of 
milk for fluid use. Before making such a finding, the Market 
Administrator shall notify the Deputy Administrator of the Dairy 
Programs and all handlers in the market that an extension is being 
considered and invite written data, views, and arguments. Any decision 
to extend the transportation credit period must be issued in writing 
prior to the first day of the month for which the extension is to be 
effective.
    (c) Transportation credits shall apply to the following milk:
    (1) Bulk milk received at a pool distributing plant from a plant 
regulated under another Federal order, except Federal Order 1007; and
    (2) Bulk milk received directly from the farms of dairy farmers at 
pool distributing plants subject to the following conditions:
    (i) The dairy farmer was not a ``producer'' under this order for 
more than 45 days during the immediately preceding months of March 
through May, or not more than 50 percent of the production of the dairy 
farmer during those 3 months, in aggregate, was received as producer 
milk under this order during those 3 months; and
    (ii) The farm on which the milk was produced is not located within 
the specified marketing area of the order in this part or the marketing 
area of Federal Order 1007 (7 CFR part 1007).
    (iii) The market administrator may increase or decrease the milk 
production standard specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section if 
the market administrator finds that such revision is necessary to assure 
orderly marketing and efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. 
Before making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate 
the need for the revision either on the market administrator's own 
initiative or at the request of interested persons. If the investigation 
shows that a revision might be appropriate, the market administrator 
shall issue a notice stating that the revision is being considered and 
inviting written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise an 
applicable percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before 
the effective date.
    (d) Transportation credits shall be computed as follows:
    (1) The market administrator shall subtract from the pounds of milk 
described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section the pounds of 
bulk milk transferred from the pool plant receiving the supplemental 
milk if milk was transferred to a nonpool plant on the same calendar day 
that the supplemental milk was received. For this purpose, the 
transferred milk shall be subtracted from the most distant load of 
supplemental milk received, and then in sequence with the next most 
distant load until all of the transfers have been offset.
    (2) With respect to the pounds of milk described in paragraph (c)(1) 
of

[[Page 76]]

this section that remain after the computations described in paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section, the market administrator shall:
    (i) Determine the shortest hard-surface highway distance between the 
shipping plant and the receiving plant;
    (ii) Multiply the number of miles so determined by the mileage rate 
for the month computed pursuant to Sec. 1005.83(a)(6);
    (iii) Subtract the applicable Class I price specified in 
Sec. 1000.50(a) for the county in which the shipping plant is located 
from the Class I price applicable for the county in which the receiving 
plant is located;
    (iv) Subtract any positive difference computed in paragraph 
(d)(2)(iii) of this section from the amount computed in paragraph 
(d)(2)(ii) of this section; and
    (v) Multiply the remainder computed in paragraph (d)(2)(iv) of this 
section by the hundredweight of milk described in paragraph (d)(2) of 
this section.
    (3) For the remaining milk described in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section after computations described in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, the market administrator shall:
    (i) Determine an origination point for each load of milk by locating 
the nearest city to the last producer's farm from which milk was picked 
up for delivery to the receiving pool plant;
    (ii) Determine the shortest hard-surface highway distance between 
the receiving pool plant and the origination point;
    (iii) Subtract 85 miles from the mileage so determined;
    (iv) Multiply the remaining miles so computed by the mileage rate 
for the month computed pursuant to Sec. 1005.83(a)(6);
    (v) Subtract the Class I price specified in Sec. 1000.50(a) 
applicable for the county in which the origination point is located from 
the Class I price applicable at the receiving pool plant's location;
    (vi) Subtract any positive difference computed in paragraph 
(d)(3)(v) of this section from the amount computed in paragraph 
(d)(3)(iv) of this section; and
    (vii) Multiply the remainder computed in paragraph (d)(3)(vi) of 
this section by the hundredweight of milk described in paragraph (d)(3) 
of this section.

the most recent four (4) weeks of the Diesel Price per Gallon as 
reported by the Energy Information Administration of the United States 
Department of Energy for the Lower Atlantic and Gulf Coast Districts 
combined.
    (2) From the result in paragraph (a)(1) in this section subtract 
$1.42 per gallon;
    (3) Divide the result in paragraph (a)(2) of this section by 5.5, 
and round down to three decimal places to compute the fuel cost 
adjustment factor;
    (4) Add the result in paragraph (a)(3) of this section to $1.91;
    (5) Divide the result in paragraph (a)(4) of this section by 480;
    (6) Round the result in paragraph (a)(5) of this section down to 
five decimal places to compute the mileage rate.
    (b) The market administrator shall announce publicly on or before 
the 23rd day of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90 of this 
chapter) the mileage rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section for 
the following month.

plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or Sec. ____.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 50 percent or more 
of the fluid milk products physically received at such plant (excluding

use other than Class I) from the cooperative's plant.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and that are 
located within the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit

from a unit, must be filed with the market administrator prior to the 
first day of the month for which it is to be effective.

need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the date for which the requested 
revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is being 
considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to revise 
an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at least one 
day before the effective date.
    (g) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler plant;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is not located within any Federal order marketing area, meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order, and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order marketing area for 3 consecutive 
months;
    (4) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is located in another Federal order marketing area, meets the

under such other order than are made to plants regulated under the order 
in this part, or such plant has automatic pooling status under such 
other order.
    (h) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1006.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-Federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:

request of interested persons. If the investigation shows that a 
revision might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a

Sec. 1006.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (f) of this 
section. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as 
labeled reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat in producer milk 
that were classified in each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c) by the 
applicable skim milk and butterfat prices, and add the resulting 
amounts; except that for the months of January 2005 through March 2005, 
the Class I skim milk price for this purpose shall be the Class I skim 
milk price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(b) plus $0.09 per 
hundredweight, and the Class I butterfat price for this purpose shall be 
the Class I butterfat price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(c) plus 
$0.0009 per pound. The adjustments to the Class I skim milk and 
butterfat prices provided herein may be reduced by the market 
administrator for any month if the market administrator determines that 
the payments yet unpaid computed pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(5) and paragraph (g)(7) of this section will be less than the amount 
computed pursuant to paragraph (g)(6) of this section. The adjustments 
to the Class I skim milk and butterfat prices provided herein during the 
months of January 2005 through March 2005 shall be announced along with 
the prices announced in Sec. 1000.53(b);
    (b) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) by the

[[Page 84]]

respective skim milk and butterfat prices applicable at the location of 
the pool plant;
    (c) Multiply the difference between the Class IV price for the 
preceding month and the current month's Class I, II, or III price, as 
the case may be, by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (d) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants;
    (e) Multiply the Class I skim milk and Class I butterfat prices 
applicable at the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from 
which an equivalent volume was received by the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products assigned to 
Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding such skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of fluid milk products from an unregulated supply 
plant to the extent that an equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat 
disposed of to such plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal 
milk order is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as 
an offset for any other payment obligation under any order; and
    (f) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).
    (g) For the months of January 2005 through March 2005 for handlers 
who have submitted proof satisfactory to the market administrator to 
determine eligibility for reimbursement of transportation costs subtract 
an amount equal to:
    (1) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool distributing plant which were delivered as a 
result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (2) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool supply plant that was then transferred to a pool 
distributing plant which were delivered as a result of hurricanes 
Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (3) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from a pool supply plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne;
    (4) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from another order plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne; and
    (5) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk transferred or 
diverted to a plant regulated under another Federal order or to other 
nonpool plants which were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, 
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne.
    (6) The total amount of payment to all handlers under this section 
shall be limited for each month to an amount determined by multiplying 
the total Class I producer milk for all handlers pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(c) times $0.09 per hundredweight.
    (7) If the cost of transportation computed pursuant to paragraphs 
(g)(1) through (5) of this section exceeds the amount computed pursuant 
to paragraph (g)(6) of this section, the market administrator shall 
prorate such payments to each handler based on each handler's proportion 
of transportation

[[Page 85]]

costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this 
section. Transportation costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section which are not paid as a result of such a 
proration shall be included in each subsequent month's transportation 
costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this 
section until paid, or until the time period for such payments has 
concluded.
    (8) The reimbursement of transportation costs pursuant to this 
section shall be the actual demonstrated cost of such transportation of 
bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section, or the miles of transportation on loads of 
bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section multiplied by $2.25 per loaded mile, 
whichever is less.

Sec. 1006.61  Computation of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day of each month, the market administrator 
shall compute a uniform butterfat price, a uniform skim milk price, and 
a uniform price for producer milk receipts reported for the prior month. 
The report of any handler who has not made payments required pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.71 for the preceding month shall not be included in the 
computation of these prices, and such handler's report shall not be 
included in the computation for succeeding months until the handler has 
made full payment of outstanding monthly obligations.
    (a) Uniform butterfat price. The uniform butterfat price per pound, 
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be computed by:
    (1) Multiplying the pounds of butterfat in producer milk allocated 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(b) by the respective class 
butterfat prices;
    (2) Adding the butterfat value calculated in Sec. 1006.60(e) for 
other source milk allocated to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
the steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) that correspond to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) 
and Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) by the Class I price; and
    (3) Dividing the sum of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the sum of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source 
milk used to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section.
    (b) Uniform skim milk price. The uniform skim milk price per 
hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be computed as 
follows:
    (1) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.60 for all handlers;
    (2) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1006.75;
    (3) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (4) Subtract the value of the total pounds of butterfat for all 
handlers. The butterfat value shall be computed by multiplying the sum 
of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source milk used 
to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the butterfat price computed in paragraph (a) of this section;
    (5) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (i) The total skim pounds of producer milk; and
    (ii) The total skim pounds for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.60(e); and
    (6) Subtract not less than 4 cents and not more than 5 cents.
    (c) Uniform price. The uniform price per hundredweight, rounded to 
the nearest cent, shall be the sum of the following:
    (1) Multiply the uniform butterfat price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section times 3.5 pounds of butterfat; and
    (2) Multiply the uniform skim milk price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section times 96.5 pounds of skim milk.

    No later than one day after the date of payment receipt required 
under Sec. 1006.71, the market administrator shall pay to each handler 
the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1006.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1006.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler that is not paying a cooperative association for 
producer milk shall pay each producer as follows:

shipments as of the 15th day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by the producer on or before the 20th day of the month 
(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the first 
15 days of the month at not less than 85 percent of the preceding 
month's uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.75 and proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer; and
    (ii) For each producer who has not discontinued shipments as of the 
last day of the month, payment shall be made so that it is received by 
the producer on or before the 5th day of the following month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received from the 16th to the last 
day of the month at not less than 85 percent of the preceding month's 
uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to Sec. 1006.75 and 
proper deductions authorized in writing by the producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, a payment 
computed as follows shall be made so that it is received by each 
producer one day after the payment date required in Sec. 1006.72:

the uniform skim milk price for the month;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of butterfat received times the uniform 
butterfat price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received times the 
plant location adjustment pursuant to Sec. 1006.75; and
    (iv) Add the amounts computed in paragraphs (a)(2)(i), (ii), and 
(iii) of this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payments made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;

[[Page 87]]

    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) One day before partial and final payments are due pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, each handler shall pay a cooperative 
association for milk received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received from a 
cooperative association in any capacity, except as the operator of a 
pool plant, the payment shall be equal to the hundredweight of milk 
received multiplied by 90 percent of the preceding month's uniform 
price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to Sec. 1006.75.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products received during the first 15 days of the month from 
a cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool 
plant, the partial payment shall be at the pool plant operator's 
estimated use value of the milk using the most recent class prices 
available for skim milk and butterfat at the receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream 
products received during the month from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the final payment shall be the 
classified value of such milk as determined by multiplying the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat assigned to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44 
by the class prices for the month at the receiving plant's location, and 
subtracting from this sum the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1006.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce payments 
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but by not more than 
the amount of the underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the 
next scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from the 
market administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
pool plant operator shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose 
milk was received from a cooperative association described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in such form that it may 
be retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and the payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The month and dates that milk was received from the producer, 
including the daily and total pounds of milk received;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat in the producer's milk;

[[Page 88]]

    (4) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (5) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (6) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, and nature of each 
deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (7) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

Sec. 1006.75  Plant location adjustments for producer milk and nonpool
milk.

    For purposes of making payments for producer milk and nonpool milk, 
a plant location adjustment shall be determined by subtracting the Class 
I price specified in Sec. 1006.51 from the Class I price at the plant's 
location. The difference, plus or minus as the case may be, shall be 
used to adjust the payments required pursuant to Secs. 1006.73 and 
1000.76.

Sec. 1006.85  Assessment for order administration.

    On or before the payment receipt date specified under Sec. 1006.71,

the expense of administration of the order at a rate specified by the 
market administrator that is no more than $.08 per hundredweight with 
respect to:
    (a) Receipts of producer milk (including the handler's own 
production) other than such receipts by a handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(c) of this chapter that were delivered to pool plants of 
other handlers;
    (b) Receipts from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) of this 
chapter;
    (c) Receipts of concentrated fluid milk products from unregulated 
supply plants and receipts of nonfluid milk products assigned to Class I 
use pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) of this chapter and other source milk 
allocated to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3) and (8) chapter and 
the corresponding steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) of this chapter, except other 
source milk that is excluded from the computations pursuant to 
Sec. 1006.60(d) and (e); and
    (d) Route disposition in the marketing area from a partially 
regulated distributing plant that exceeds the skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this chapter.

    Pool plant means a plant specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) of 
this section, a unit of plants as specified in paragraph (e) of this 
section, or a plant specified in paragraph (h) of this section, but 
excluding a plant specified in paragraph (g) of this section. The 
pooling standards described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section 
are subject to modification pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section:
    (a) A distributing plant, other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or Sec. ____.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 50 percent or more 
of the fluid milk products physically received at such plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) are disposed of as route disposition or are 
transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and 
transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 50 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which 50 percent or more of the total 
quantity of milk that is physically received during the month from dairy 
farmers and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c), including milk that is 
diverted from the plant, is transferred to pool distributing plants. 
Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant to a distributing 
plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall be excluded from 
the supply plant's shipments in computing the plant's shipping 
percentage.
    (d) A plant located within the marketing area that is operated by a 
cooperative association if pool plant status under this paragraph is 
requested for such plant by the cooperative association and during the 
month at least 60 percent of the producer milk of members of such 
cooperative association is delivered directly from farms to pool 
distributing plants or is transferred to such plants as a fluid milk 
product (excluding concentrated milk transferred to a distributing plant 
for an agreed-upon use other than Class I) from the cooperative's plant.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and located 
within the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit by 
meeting the total and in-area route disposition requirements specified 
in paragraph (a) of this section and the following additional 
requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process only Class I or Class II 
products and must be located in a pricing zone providing the same or a 
lower Class I price than the price applicable at the distributing plant 
included in the unit pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this section; and
    (3) A written request to form a unit, or to add or remove plants 
from a unit, must be filed with the market administrator prior to the 
first day of the month for which it is to be effective.
    (f) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (d) of 
this section may be increased or decreased

[[Page 91]]

by the market administrator if the market administrator finds that such 
adjustment is necessary to encourage needed shipments or to prevent 
uneconomic shipments. Before making such a finding, the market 
administrator shall investigate the need for adjustment either on the 
market administrator's own initiative or at the request of interested 
parties if the request is made in writing at least 15 days prior to the 
date for which the requested revision is desired effective. If the 
investigation shows that an adjustment of the shipping percentages might 
be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a notice stating 
that an adjustment is being considered and invite data, views and 
arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable shipping percentage must 
be issued in writing at least one day before the effective date.
    (g) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler plant;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is not located within any Federal order marketing area, meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order, and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order marketing area for 3 consecutive 
months;
    (4) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
which is located in another Federal order marketing area, meets the 
pooling standards of the other Federal order, and has not had a majority 
of its route disposition in this marketing area for 3 consecutive months 
or is locked into pool status under such other Federal order without 
regard to its route disposition in any other Federal order marketing 
area; and
    (5) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under such other order than are made to plants regulated under the order 
in this part, or such plant has automatic pooling status under such 
other order.
    (h) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1007.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-Federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1007.7(a), (b), or (e);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-

care and management of the dairy animals and other resources necessary 
to produce all Class I milk handled, and the processing and packaging 
operations, are the producer-handler's own enterprise and are operated 
at the producer-handler's own risk.
    (e) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions 
and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or more 
during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to the 
provisions described in Sec. 1131.7 of this chapter or Sec. 1000.76(a).

    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions

    Except as provided for in paragraph (e) of this section, Producer 
milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of components of skim 
milk) and butterfat contained in milk of a producer that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received

[[Page 93]]

    (2) In any month of July through December, not less than 1 days' 
production of the producer whose milk is diverted is physically received 
at a pool plant during the month;
    (3) The total quantity of milk so diverted during the month by a 
cooperative association shall not exceed 25 percent during the months of 
July through November, January, and February, and 35 percent during the 
months of December and March through June, of the producer milk that the

bulk milk received directly from producers meeting the conditions as 
described in Sec. 1005.82(c)(2)(ii) and (iii), and for which a

paragraph (d) of this section. The total quantity of milk so diverted 
during the month shall not exceed 25 percent during the months of July 
through November, January, and February, and 35 percent during the 
months of December and March through June, of the producer milk 
physically received at such plant (or such unit of plants in the case of

excluding the quantity of producer milk received from a handler 
described in Sec. 1000.9(c) of this chapter and excluding the total

paragraphs (d)(3) and (4) of this section shall not be producer milk. If 
the diverting handler or cooperative association fails to designate the 
dairy farmers' deliveries that will not be producer milk, no milk 
diverted by the handler or cooperative association shall be producer 
milk;
    (6) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted; and
    (7) The delivery day requirements and the diversion percentages in 
paragraphs (d)(1) through (4) of this section may be increased or 
decreased by the market administrator if the market administrator finds 
that such revision is necessary to assure orderly marketing and 
efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. Before making such a 
finding, the market administrator shall investigate the need for the 
revision either on the market administrator's own initiative or at the 
request of interested persons. If the investigation shows that a 
revision might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that the revision is being considered and inviting 
written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable 
percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before the 
effective date.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing program imposed under the

Sec. 1007.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (f) of this 
section. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as 
labeled reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat in producer milk 
that were classified in each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c) by the 
applicable skim milk and butterfat prices, and add the resulting 
amounts; except that for the months of January 2005 through March 2005, 
the Class I skim milk price for this purpose shall be the Class I skim 
milk price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(b) plus $0.04 per 
hundredweight, and the Class I butterfat price for this purpose shall be 
the Class I butterfat price as determined in Sec. 1000.50(c) plus 
$0.0004 per pound. The adjustments to the Class I skim milk and 
butterfat prices provided herein may be reduced by the market 
administrator for any month if the market administrator determines that 
the payments yet unpaid computed pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(5) and paragraph (g)(7) of this section will be less than the amount 
computed pursuant to paragraph (g)(6) of this section. The adjustments 
to the Class I skim milk and butterfat prices provided herein during the 
months of January 2005 through March 2005 shall be announced along with 
the prices announced in Sec. 1000.53(b);
    (b) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) by the respective skim 
milk and butterfat prices applicable at the location of the pool plant;

[[Page 100]]

    (c) Multiply the difference between the Class IV price for the 
preceding month and the current month's Class I, II, or III price, as 
the case may be, by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (d) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants;
    (e) Multiply the Class I skim milk and Class I butterfat prices 
applicable at the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from 
which an equivalent volume was received by the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products assigned to 
Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the 
corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding such skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of fluid milk products from an unregulated supply 
plant to the extent that an equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat 
disposed of to such plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal 
milk order is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as 
an offset for any other payment obligation under any order; and
    (f) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).
    (g) For the months of January 2005 through March 2005 for handlers 
who have submitted proof satisfactory to the market administrator to 
determine eligibility for reimbursement of transportation costs, 
subtract an amount equal to:
    (1) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool distributing plant which were delivered as a 
result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (2) The cost of transportation on loads of producer milk delivered 
or rerouted to a pool supply plant that was then transferred to a pool 
distributing plant which were delivered as a result of hurricanes 
Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne;
    (3) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from a pool supply plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne;
    (4) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted to a pool distributing plant from another order plant which 
were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and 
Jeanne; and
    (5) The cost of transportation on loads of bulk milk transferred or 
diverted to a plant regulated under another Federal order or to other 
nonpool plants which were delivered as a result of hurricanes Charley, 
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne.
    (6) The total amount of payment to all handlers under this section 
shall be limited for each month to an amount determined by multiplying 
the total Class I producer milk for all handlers pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(c) times $0.04 per hundredweight.
    (7) If the cost of transportation computed pursuant to paragraphs 
(g)(1) through (5) of this section exceeds the amount computed pursuant 
to paragraph (g)(6) of this section, the market administrator shall 
prorate such payments to each handler based on each handler's proportion 
of transportation costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(5) of this section.

[[Page 101]]

Transportation costs submitted pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) 
of this section which are not paid as a result of such a proration shall 
be included in each subsequent month's transportation costs submitted 
pursuant to paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section until paid, or 
until the time period for such payments has concluded.
    (8) The reimbursement of transportation costs pursuant to this 
section shall be the actual demonstrated cost of such transportation of 
bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section, or the miles of transportation on loads of 
bulk milk delivered or rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section multiplied by $2.25 per loaded mile, 
whichever is less.
    (9) For each handler, the reimbursement of transportation costs 
pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section for bulk milk delivered or 
rerouted as described in paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section 
shall be reduced by the amount of payments received for such milk 
movements from the transportation credit balancing fund pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.82.

69 FR 71700, Dec. 10, 2004]



Sec. 1007.61  Computation of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day of each month, the market administrator 
shall compute a uniform butterfat price, a uniform skim milk price, and 
a uniform price for producer milk receipts reported for the prior month. 
The report of any handler who has not made payments required pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.71 for the preceding month shall not be included in the 
computation of these prices, and such handler's report shall not be 
included in the computation for succeeding months until the handler has 
made full payment of outstanding monthly obligations.
    (a) Uniform butterfat price. The uniform butterfat price per pound, 
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be computed by:
    (1) Multiplying the pounds of butterfat in producer milk allocated 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(b) by the respective class 
butterfat prices;
    (2) Adding the butterfat value calculated in Sec. 1007.60(e) for 
other source milk allocated to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
the steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) that correspond to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) 
and Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) by the Class I price; and
    (3) Dividing the sum of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the sum of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source 
milk used to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section.
    (b) Uniform skim milk price. The uniform skim milk price per 
hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be computed as 
follows:
    (1) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.60 for all handlers;
    (2) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1007.75;
    (3) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (4) Subtract the value of the total pounds of butterfat for all 
handlers. The butterfat value shall be computed by multiplying the sum 
of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source milk used 
to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the butterfat price computed in paragraph (a) of this section;
    (5) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (i) The total skim pounds of producer milk; and
    (ii) The total skim pounds for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.60(e); and
    (6) Subtract not less than 4 cents and not more than 5 cents.
    (c) Uniform price. The uniform price per hundredweight, rounded to 
the nearest cent, shall be the sum of the following:
    (1) Multiply the uniform butterfat price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section times 3.5 pounds of butterfat; and

[[Page 102]]

    (2) Multiply the uniform skim milk price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section times 96.5 pounds of skim milk.

[64 FR 47966, Sept. 1, 1999, as amended at 65 FR 82835, Dec. 28, 2000]



Sec. 1007.62  Announcement of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day after the end of the month, the market 
administrator shall announce the uniform prices for the month computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1007.61.

                            Payments for Milk



Sec. 1007.70  Producer-settlement fund.

    See Sec. 1000.70.



Sec. 1007.71  Payments to the producer-settlement fund.

    Each handler shall make a payment to the producer-settlement fund in 
a manner that provides receipt of the funds by the market administrator 
no later than the 12th day after the end of the month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90). Payment shall be the amount, if any, by which 
the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this section exceeds the amount 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section:
    (a) The total value of milk of the handler for the month as 
determined pursuant to Sec. 1007.60; and
    (b) The sum of the value at the uniform prices for skim milk and 
butterfat, adjusted for plant location, of the handler's receipts of 
producer milk; and the value at the uniform price, as adjusted pursuant 
to Sec. 1007.75, applicable at the location of the plant from which 
received of other source milk for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.60(e).



Sec. 1007.72  Payments from the producer-settlement fund.

    No later than one day after the date of payment receipt required 
under Sec. 1007.71, the market administrator shall pay to each handler 
the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1007.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1007.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler that is not paying a cooperative association for 
producer milk shall pay each producer as follows:
    (1) Partial payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the 23rd day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by the producer on or before the 26th day of the month 
(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the first 
15 days of the month at not less than 90 percent of the preceding 
month's uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.75 and proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, a payment 
computed as follows shall be made so that it is received by each 
producer one day after the payment date required in Sec. 1007.72:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of producer skim milk received times 
the uniform skim milk price for the month;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of butterfat received times the uniform 
butterfat price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received times the 
plant location adjustment pursuant to Sec. 1007.75; and
    (iv) Add the amounts computed in paragraph (a)(2)(i), (ii), and 
(iii) of this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;
    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) One day before partial and final payments are due pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, each handler

[[Page 103]]

shall pay a cooperative association for milk received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received during the first 
15 days of the month from a cooperative association in any capacity, 
except as the operator of a pool plant, the payment shall be equal to 
the hundredweight of milk received multiplied by 90 percent of the 
preceding month's uniform price, adjusted for plant location pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.75.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products received during the first 15 days of the month from 
a cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool 
plant, the partial payment shall be at the pool plant operator's 
estimated use value of the milk using the most recent class prices 
available for skim milk and butterfat at the receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream 
products received during the month from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the final payment shall be the 
classified value of such milk as determined by multiplying the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat assigned to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44 
by the class prices for the month at the receiving plant's location, and 
subtracting from this sum the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1007.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce payments 
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but by not more than 
the amount of the underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the 
next scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from the 
market administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
pool plant operator shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose 
milk was received from a cooperative association described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in such form that it may 
be retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and the payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The month and dates that milk was received from the producer, 
including the daily and total pounds of milk received;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat in the producer's milk;
    (4) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to this order;
    (5) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;

[[Page 104]]

    (6) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, and nature of each 
deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (7) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

Sec. 1007.75  Plant location adjustments for producer milk and nonpool
milk.

    For purposes of making payments for producer milk and nonpool milk, 
a plant location adjustment shall be determined by subtracting the Class 
I price specified in Sec. 1007.51 from the Class I price at the plant's 
location. The difference, plus or minus as the case may be, shall be 
used to adjust the payments required pursuant to Secs. 1007.73 and 
1000.76.

Sec. 1007.80  Transportation credit balancing fund.

    The market administrator shall maintain a separate fund known as the 
Transportation Credit Balancing Fund into which shall be deposited the 
payments made by handlers pursuant to Sec. 1007.81 and out of which 
shall be made the payments due handlers pursuant to Sec. 1007.82. 
Payments due a handler shall be offset against payments due from the 
handler.



Sec. 1007.81  Payments to the transportation credit balancing fund.

    (a) On or before the 12th day after the end of the month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), each handler operating a pool plant and each 
handler specified in Sec. 1000.9 (c) shall pay to the market 
administrator a transportation credit balancing fund assessment 
determined by multiplying the pounds of Class I producer milk assigned 
pursuant to Sec. 1007.44 by $0.30 per hundredweight or such lesser 
amount as the market administrator deems necessary to maintain a balance 
in the fund equal to the total transportation credits disbursed during 
the prior June-February period to reflect any changes in the current 
mileage rate versus the mileage rate(s) in effect during the prior June-
February period. In the event that during any month of the June-February 
period the fund balance is insufficient to cover the amount of credits 
that are due, the assessment should be based upon the amount of credits 
that would have been disbursed had the fund balance been sufficient.
    (b) The market administrator shall announce publicly on or before 
the 23rd day of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90 of this 
chapter) the assessment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section for 
the following month.

Sec. 1007.82  Payments from the transportation credit balancing fund.

    (a) Payments from the transportation credit balancing fund to 
handlers and cooperative associations requesting transportation credits 
shall be made as follows:
    (1) On or before the 13th day (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) 
after the end of each of the months of January, February and July 
through December and any other month in which transportation credits are 
in effect pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, the market 
administrator shall pay to each handler that received, and reported 
pursuant to Sec. 1007.30(a)(5), bulk milk transferred from a plant fully 
regulated under another Federal order as described in paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section or that received, and reported pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.30(a)(6), milk directly from producers' farms as specified in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section, a preliminary amount determined 
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section to the extent that funds are 
available in the transportation credit balancing fund. If an 
insufficient balance exists to pay all

[[Page 105]]

of the credits computed pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall distribute the balance available in the 
transportation credit balancing fund by reducing payments pro rata using 
the percentage derived by dividing the balance in the fund by the total 
credits that are due for the month. The amount of credits resulting from 
this initial proration shall be subject to audit adjustment pursuant to 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (2) The market administrator shall accept adjusted requests for 
transportation credits on or before the 20th day of the month following 
the month for which such credits were requested pursuant to 
Sec. 1007.32(a). After such date, a preliminary audit will be conducted 
by the market administrator, who will recalculate any necessary 
proration of transportation credit payments for the preceding month 
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section. Handlers will be promptly 
notified of an overpayment of credits based upon this final computation 
and remedial payments to or from the transportation credit balancing 
fund will be made on or before the next payment date for the following 
month;
    (3) Transportation credits paid pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) and 
(2) of this section shall be subject to final verification by the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1000.77. Adjusted payments to or from the 
transportation credit balancing fund will remain subject to the final 
proration established pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section; and
    (4) In the event that a qualified cooperative association is the 
responsible party for whose account such milk is received and written 
documentation of this fact is provided to the market administrator 
pursuant to Sec. 1007.30(c)(3) prior to the date payment is due, the 
transportation credits for such milk computed pursuant to this section 
shall be made to such cooperative association rather than to the 
operator of the pool plant at which the milk was received.
    (b) The market administrator may extend the period during which 
transportation credits are in effect (i.e., the transportation credit 
period) to the month of June if a written request to do so is received 
15 days prior to the beginning of the month for which the request is 
made and, after conducting an independent investigation, finds that such 
extension is necessary to assure the market of an adequate supply of 
milk for fluid use. Before making such a finding, the market 
administrator shall notify the Deputy Administrator of Dairy Programs 
and all handlers in the market that an extension is being considered and 
invite written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to extend the 
transportation credit period must be issued in writing prior to the 
first day of the month for which the extension is to be effective.
    (c) Transportation credits shall apply to the following milk:
    (1) Bulk milk received at a pool distributing plant from a plant 
regulated under another Federal order, except Federal Order 1005; and
    (2) Bulk milk received directly from the farms of dairy farmers at 
pool distributing plants subject to the following conditions:
    (i) The dairy farmer was not a ``producer'' under this order for 
more than 45 days during the immediately preceding months of March 
through May, or not more than 50 percent of the production of the dairy 
farmer during those 3 months, in aggregate, was received as producer 
milk under this order during those 3 months; and
    (ii) The farm on which the milk was produced is not located within 
the specified marketing area of the order in this part or the marketing 
area of Federal Order 1005 (7 CFR part 1005).
    (iii) The market administrator may increase or decrease the milk 
production standard specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section if 
the market administrator finds that such revision is necessary to assure 
orderly marketing and efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. 
Before making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate 
the need for the revision either on the market administrator's own 
initiative or at the request of interested persons. If the investigation 
shows that a revision might be appropriate, the market administrator 
shall issue a notice stating that the revision is being considered and 
inviting written data, views, and

[[Page 106]]

arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable percentage must be 
issued in writing at least one day before the effective date.
    (d) Transportation credits shall be computed as follows:
    (1) The market administrator shall subtract from the pounds of milk 
described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section the pounds of 
bulk milk transferred from the pool plant receiving the supplemental 
milk if milk was transferred to a nonpool plant on the same calendar day 
that the supplemental milk was received. For this purpose, the 
transferred milk shall be subtracted from the most distant load of 
supplemental milk received, and then in sequence with the next most 
distant load until all of the transfers have been offset;
    (2) With respect to the pounds of milk described in paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section that remain after the computations described in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section, the market administrator shall:
    (i) Determine the shortest hard-surface highway distance between the 
shipping plant and the receiving plant;
    (ii) Multiply the number of miles so determined by the mileage rate 
for the month computed pursuant to Sec. 1007.83(a)(6);
    (iii) Subtract the applicable Class I price specified in 
Sec. 1000.50(a) for the county in which the shipping plant is located 
from the Class I price applicable for the county in which the receiving 
plant is located;
    (iv) Subtract any positive difference computed in paragraph 
(d)(2)(iii) of this section from the amount computed in paragraph 
(d)(2)(ii) of this section; and
    (v) Multiply the remainder computed in paragraph (d)(2)(iv) of this 
section by the hundredweight of milk described in paragraph (d)(2) of 
this section.
    (3) For the remaining milk described in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section after computations described in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, the market administrator shall:
    (i) Determine an origination point for each load of milk by locating 
the nearest city to the last producer's farm from which milk was picked 
up for delivery to the receiving pool plant;
    (ii) Determine the shortest hard-surface highway distance between 
the receiving pool plant and the origination point;
    (iii) Subtract 85 miles from the mileage so determined;
    (iv) Multiply the remaining miles so computed by the mileage rate 
for the month computed pursuant to Sec. 1007.83(a)(6);
    (v) Subtract the Class I price specified in Sec. 1000.50(a) 
applicable for the county in which the origination point is located from 
the Class I price applicable at the receiving pool plant's location;
    (vi) Subtract any positive difference computed in paragraph 
(d)(3)(v) of this section from the amount computed in paragraph 
(d)(3)(iv) of this section; and
    (vii) Multiply the remainder computed in paragraph (d)(3)(vi) of 
this section by the hundredweight of milk described in paragraph (d)(3) 
of this section.

Sec. 1007.83  Mileage rate for the transportation credit balancing fund.

    (a) The market administrator shall compute the mileage rate each 
month as follows:
    (1) Compute the simple average rounded to three decimal places for 
the most recent 4 weeks of the Diesel Price per Gallon as reported by 
the Energy Information Administration of the United States Department of 
Energy for the Lower Atlantic and Gulf Coast Districts combined.
    (2) From the result in paragraph (a)(1) in this section subtract 
$1.42 per gallon;
    (3) Divide the result in paragraph (a)(2) of this section by 5.5, 
and round down to three decimal places to compute the fuel cost 
adjustment factor;
    (4) Add the result in paragraph (a)(3) of this section to $1.91;
    (5) Divide the result in paragraph (a)(4) of this section by 480;
    (6) Round the result in paragraph (a)(5) of this section down to 
five decimal places to compute the mileage rate.

[[Page 107]]

    (b) The market administrator shall announce publicly on or before 
the 23rd day of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90 of this 
chapter) the mileage rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section for 
the following month.

IV utilization.
    (2) The operator of a supply plant located within the States of 
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and the 
Upper Peninsula of Michigan may include as qualifying shipments under 
this paragraph milk delivered directly from producers' farms pursuant to 
Secs. 1000.9(c) or 1030.13(c) to plants described in paragraphs (a),

    (3) Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall be 
excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the supply 
plant's shipping percentage.

described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1030.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1030.7(a), (b), or (e);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (iii) The plant is described in Sec. 1000.8(a) or (e); or
    (iv) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1030.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route disposition and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and located in 
the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit by meeting the 
total

[[Page 110]]

and in-area route disposition requirements of a pool distributing plant 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section and subject to the following 
additional requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process Class I or Class II 
products, using 50 percent or more of the total Grade A fluid milk 
products received in bulk form at such plant or diverted therefrom by 
the plant operator in Class I or Class II products; and
    (3) The operator of the unit has filed a written request with the 
market administrator prior to the first day of the month for which such 
status is desired to be effective. The unit shall continue from month-
to-month thereafter without further notification. The handler shall 
notify the market administrator in writing prior to the first day of any 
month for which termination or any change of the unit is desired.
    (f) A system of 2 or more supply plants operated by one or more 
handlers may qualify for pooling by meeting the shipping requirements of 
paragraph (c) of this section in the same manner as a single plant 
subject to the following additional requirements:
    (1) Each plant in the system is located within the marketing area or 
was a pool supply plant pursuant to Sec. 1030.7(c) for each of the 3 
months immediately preceding the applicability date of this paragraph so 
long as it continues to maintain pool status. Cooperative associations 
may not use shipments pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c) to qualify plants 
located outside the marketing area;
    (2) The handler(s) establishing the system submits a written request 
to the market administrator on or before July 15 requesting that such 
plants qualify as a system for the period of August through July of the 
following year. Such request will contain a list of the plants 
participating in the system in the order, beginning with the last plant, 
in which the plants will be dropped from the system if the system fails 
to qualify. Each plant that qualifies as a pool plant within a system 
shall continue each month as a plant in the system through the following 
July unless the handler(s) establishing the system submits a written 
request to the market administrator that the plant be deleted from the 
system or that the system be discontinued. Any plant that has been so 
deleted from a system, or that has failed to qualify in any month, will 
not be part of any system for the remaining months through July. The 
handler(s) that established a system may add a plant operated by such 
handler(s) to a system if such plant has been a pool plant each of the 6 
prior months and would otherwise be eligible to be in a system, upon 
written request to the market administrator no later than the 15th day 
of the prior month. In the event of an ownership change or the business 
failure of a handler that is a participant in a system, the system may 
be reorganized to reflect such changes if a written request to file a 
new marketing agreement is submitted to the market administrator; and
    (3) If a system fails to qualify under the requirements of this 
paragraph, the handler responsible for qualifying the system shall 
notify the market administrator which plant or plants will be deleted 
from the system so that the remaining plants may be pooled as a system. 
If the handler fails to do so, the market administrator shall exclude 
one or more plants, beginning at the bottom of the list of plants in the 
system and continuing up the list as necessary until the deliveries are 
sufficient to qualify the remaining plants in the system.
    (g) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (f) of 
this section and Sec. 1030.13(d)(2), and (d)(3) may be increased or 
decreased, for all or part of the marketing area, by the market 
administrator if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is 
necessary to encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic 
shipments. Before making such a finding, the market administrator shall 
investigate the need for adjustment either on the market administrator's 
own initiative or at the request of interested parties if the request is 
made in writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the 
requested revision is desired effective. If the investigation

[[Page 111]]

shows that an adjustment of the shipping percentages might be 
appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a notice stating that 
an adjustment is being considered and invite data, views and arguments. 
Any decision to revise an applicable shipping or diversion percentage 
must be issued in writing at least one day before the effective date.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined under any Federal order;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant located within the marketing area and qualified pursuant 
to paragraph (a) of this section which meets the pooling requirements of 
another Federal order, and from which more than 50 percent of its route 
disposition has been in the other Federal order marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (4) A plant located outside any Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant located in another Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a 
majority of its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 
consecutive months or if the plant is required to be regulated under 
such other Federal order without regard to its route disposition in any 
other Federal order marketing area;
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under 
the order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under 
the other Federal order; and
    (7) That portion of a regulated plant designated as a nonpool plant 
that is physically separate and operated separately from the pool 
portion of such plant. The designation of a portion of a regulated plant 
as a nonpool plant must be requested in advance and in writing by the 
handler and must be approved by the market administrator.
    (i) Any plant that qualifies as a pool plant in each of the 
immediately preceding 3 months pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
or the shipping percentages in paragraph (c) of this section that is 
unable to meet such performance standards for the current month because 
of unavoidable circumstances determined by the market administrator to 
be beyond the control of the handler operating the plant, such as a 
natural disaster (ice storm, wind storm, flood), fire, breakdown of 
equipment, or work stoppage, shall be considered to have met the minimum 
performance standards during the period of such unavoidable 
circumstances, but such relief shall not be granted for more than 2 
consecutive months.

Sec. 1030.11  [Reserved]



Sec. 1030.12  Producer.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, producer 
means any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted 
regulatory agency for fluid consumption as Grade A milk and whose milk 
is:
    (1) Received at a pool plant directly from the producer or diverted 
by the plant operator in accordance with Sec. 1030.13; or
    (2) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c).
    (b) Producer shall not include:

    (3) A dairy farmer whose milk is received by diversion at a pool 
plant from a handler regulated under another Federal order if the other 
Federal order designates the dairy farmer as a producer under that order 
and that milk is allocated by request to a utilization other than Class 
I; and
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order.



Sec. 1030.13  Producer milk.

    Except as provided for in paragraph (e) of this section, Producer 
milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of components of skim 
milk), including nonfat components, and butterfat in milk of a producer 
that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;
    (b) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of 
the quantity delivered to pool plants;
    (c) Diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant. Milk so 
diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to which diverted; 
or
    (d) Diverted by the operator of a pool plant or a cooperative

conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion 
unless at least one day's production of such dairy farmer is physically 
received as producer milk at a pool plant during the first month the 
dairy farmer is a producer. If a dairy farmer loses producer

[[Page 113]]

status under the order in this part (except as a result of a temporary 
loss of Grade A approval or as a result of the handler of the dairy 
farmer's milk failing to pool the milk under any order), the dairy 
farmer's milk shall not be eligible for diversion unless at least one 
day's production of the dairy farmer has been physically received as 
producer milk at a pool plant during the first month the dairy farmer is 
re-associated with the market;
    (2) The quantity of milk diverted by a handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(c) may not exceed 90 percent of the producer milk receipts 
reported by the handler pursuant to Sec. 1030.30(c) provided that not 
less than 10 percent of such receipts are delivered to plants described 
in Sec. 1030.7(c)(1)(i) through (iii). These percentages are subject to 
any adjustments that may be made pursuant to Sec. 1030.7(g); and
    (3) The quantity of milk diverted to nonpool plants by the operator 
of a pool plant described in Sec. 1030.7(a), (b) or (d) may not exceed 
90 percent of the Grade A milk received from dairy farmers (except dairy 
farmers described in Sec. 1030.12(b)) including milk diverted pursuant 
to Sec. 1030.13; and
    (4) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing program imposed under the 
authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns.
    (f) The quantity of milk reported by a handler pursuant to either 
Sec. 1030.30(a)(1) or Sec. 1030.30(c)(1) for April through February may 
not exceed 125 percent, and March may not exceed 135 percent of the 
producer milk receipts pooled by the handler during the prior month. 
Milk diverted to nonpool plants reported in excess of this limit shall 
be removed from the pool. Milk in excess of this limit received at pool 
plants, other than pool distributing plants, shall be classified 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(v) and Sec. 1000.44(b). The handler must 
designate, by producer pick-up, which milk is to be removed from the 
pool. If the handler fails to provide this information, the market 
administrator will make the determination. The following provisions 
apply:
    (1) Milk shipped to and physically received at pool distributing 
plants in excess of the previous month's pooled volume shall not be 
subject to the 125 or 135 percent limitation;
    (2) Producer milk qualified pursuant to Sec. __.13 of any other 
Federal Order and continuously pooled in any Federal Order for the 
previous six months shall not be included in the computation of the 125 
or 135 percent limitation;
    (3) The market administrator may waive the 125 or 135 percent 
limitation:
    (i) For a new handler on the order, subject to the provisions of 
Sec. 1030.13(f)(4), or
    (ii) For an existing handler with significantly changed milk supply 
conditions due to unusual circumstances;
    (4) A bloc of milk may be considered ineligible for pooling if the 
market administrator determines that handlers altered the reporting of 
such milk for the purpose of evading the provisions of this paragraph.

    (a) Each handler operating a pool distributing plant described in 
Sec. 1030.7(a), (b), (d), or (e) that receives bulk milk from another 
pool plant shall receive a transportation credit for such milk computed 
as follows:
    (1) Determine the hundredweight of milk eligible for the credit by 
completing the steps in paragraph (c) of this section;
    (2) Multiply the hundredweight of milk eligible for the credit by 
.28 cents times the number of miles, not to exceed 400 miles, between 
the transferor plant and the transferee plant;
    (3) Subtract the effective Class I price at the transferor plant 
from the effective Class I price at the transferee plant;
    (4) Multiply any positive amount resulting from the subtraction in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section by the hundredweight of milk eligible 
for the credit; and
    (5) Subtract the amount computed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section 
from the amount computed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. If the 
amount computed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section exceeds the amount 
computed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the transportation credit 
shall be zero.
    (b) Each handler operating a pool distributing plant described in 
Sec. 1030.7(a), (b), (d), or (e) that receives milk from dairy farmers, 
each handler that transfers or diverts bulk milk from a pool plant to a 
pool distributing plant, and each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) 
that delivers producer milk to a pool distributing plant shall receive 
an assembly credit on the portion of such milk eligible for the credit 
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. The credit shall be computed 
by multiplying the hundredweight of milk eligible for the credit by 
$0.08.
    (c) The following procedure shall be used to determine the amount of 
milk eligible for transportation and assembly credits pursuant to 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section:
    (1) At each pool distributing plant, determine the aggregate 
quantity of Class I milk, excluding beginning inventory of packaged 
fluid milk products;
    (2) Subtract the quantity of packaged fluid milk products received 
at the pool distributing plant from other pool plants and from nonpool 
plants if such receipts are assigned to Class I;
    (3) Subtract the quantity of bulk milk shipped from the pool 
distributing plant to other plants to the extent that such milk is 
classified as Class I milk;
    (4) Subtract the quantity of bulk milk received at the pool 
distributing plant from other order plants and unregulated supply plants 
that is assigned to Class I pursuant to Secs. 1000.43(d) and 1000.44; 
and
    (5) Assign the remaining quantity pro rata to physical receipts 
during the month from:
    (i) Producers;
    (ii) Handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c); and
    (iii) Other pool plants.
    (d) For purposes of this section, the distances to be computed shall 
be determined by the market administrator using the shortest available 
state and/or Federal highway mileage. Mileage

[[Page 116]]

determinations are subject to redetermination at all times. In the event 
a handler requests a redetermination of the mileage pertaining to any 
plant, the market administrator shall notify the handler of such 
redetermination within 30 days after the receipt of such request. Any 
financial obligations resulting from a change in mileage shall not be 
retroactive for any periods prior to the redetermination by the market 
administrator.

Sec. 1030.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the values computed in paragraphs (j) and (k) of 
this section. Unless otherwise specified, the skim milk, butterfat, and 
the combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat referred to in this 
section shall result from the steps set forth in Sec. 1000.44(a), (b), 
and (c), respectively, and the nonfat components of producer milk in 
each class shall be based upon the proportion of such components in 
producer skim milk. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are 
distributed as labeled reconstituted milk for which payments are made to 
the producer-settlement fund of another Federal order under 
Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) shall be excluded from pricing under this 
section.
    (a) Class I value. (1) Multiply the pounds of skim milk in Class I 
by the Class I skim milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class II skim milk by the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value. (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III 
skim milk by the protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class IV skim milk by the nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Compute an adjustment for the somatic cell content of producer 
milk by multiplying the values reported pursuant to Sec. 1030.30(a)(1) 
and (c)(1) by the percentage of total producer milk allocated to Class 
II, Class III, and Class IV pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c);
    (f) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (g) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month and by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.

[[Page 117]]

    (i) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent that an 
equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such plant by 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is classified and 
priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for any other 
payment obligation under any order.
    (j) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).
    (k) Compute the amount of credits applicable pursuant to 
Sec. 1030.55.

Sec. 1030.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1030.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions of 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1030.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1030.30;
    (b) Subtract the total values obtained by multiplying each handler's 
total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained in the 
milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to Sec. 1030.60 by 
the protein price, other solids price, and the butterfat price, 
respectively, and the total value of the somatic cell adjustment 
pursuant to Sec. 1030.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1030.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and
    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1030.60(i); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result 
shall be known as the producer price differential for the month.

Sec. 1030.62  Announcement of producer prices.

    On or before the 13th day after the end of each month, the market 
administrator shall announce publicly the following prices and 
information:
    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The somatic cell adjustment rate;
    (g) The average butterfat, nonfat solids, protein and other solids 
content of producer milk; and

If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.

amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable for 
such producer milk pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this 
section.
    (c) Payment for milk received from cooperative association pool 
plants or from cooperatives as handlers pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c). On

handler who receives fluid milk products at its plant from a cooperative 
association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant or who 
receives milk from a cooperative association in its capacity as a 
handler pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c), including the milk of producers who 
are not members of such association and who the market administrator 
determines have authorized the cooperative association to collect 
payment for their milk, shall pay the cooperative for such milk as 
follows:
    (1) For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products 
received from a cooperative association in its capacity as the operator 
of a pool plant and for milk received from a cooperative association in 
its capacity as a handler pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c) during the first 15 
days of the month, at not less than the lowest announced class prices 
per hundredweight for the preceding month;
    (2) For the total quantity of bulk fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products received from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, at not less than the total 
value of such products received from the association's pool plants, as 
determined by multiplying the respective quantities assigned to each 
class under Sec. 1000.44, as follows:
    (i) The hundredweight of Class I skim milk times the Class I skim 
milk price for the month plus the pounds of Class I butterfat times the 
Class I butterfat price for the month. The Class I price to be used 
shall be that price effective at the location of the receiving plant;
    (ii) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by the Class 
II nonfat solids price;

pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this section; and
    (3) For the total quantity of milk received during the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as a handler under 
Sec. 1000.9(c) as follows:

price for the month;
    (v) The hundredweight of milk received times the somatic cell 
adjustment for the month; and

[[Page 120]]

    (d) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1030.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this section, the handler may reduce pro 
rata its payments to producers or to the cooperative association (with 
respect to receipts described in paragraph (b) of this section, 
prorating the underpayment to the volume of milk received from the 
cooperative association in proportion to the total milk received from 
producers by the handler), but not by more than the amount of the 
underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the next scheduled 
payment date after receipt of the balance due from the market 
administrator.
    (e) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant, as the case 
may be.
    (f) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
handler shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose milk was 
received from a cooperative association handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in a form that may be 
retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The daily and total pounds, and the month and dates such milk 
was received from that producer;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat, protein, and other solids 
contained in the producer's milk;
    (4) The somatic cell count of the producer's milk;
    (5) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (6) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (7) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, or rate per pound of 
component, and the nature of each deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (8) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

described in paragraphs (c) and (d) and (f)

[[Page 123]]

of this section are subject to modification pursuant to paragraph (g) of 
this section:
    (a) A distributing plant, other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or ____.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 25 percent or more 
of the total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at the 
plant (excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by 
agreement for other than Class I use) are disposed of as route 
disposition or are transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk 
products to other distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route 
disposition and transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 25 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which the quantity of bulk fluid milk 
products shipped to (and physically unloaded into) plants described in 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section is not less than 25 percent during the 
months of August through February and 20 percent in all other months of 
the Grade A milk received from dairy farmers (except dairy farmers 
described in Sec. 1032.12(b)) and from handlers described in 
Sec. 1000.9(c), including milk diverted pursuant to Sec. 1032.13, 
subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Qualifying shipments may be made to plants described in 
paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section;
    (2) The operator of a pool plant located in the marketing area may 
include as qualifying shipments milk delivered directly from producer's 
farms pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c) or Sec. 1032.13(c). Handlers may not 
use shipments pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c) or Sec. 1032.13(c) to qualify 
plants located outside the marketing area;
    (3) Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall be 
excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the supply 
plant's shipping percentage;
    (4) No plant may qualify as a pool plant due to a reduction in the 
shipping percentage pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section unless it 
has been a pool supply plant during each of the immediately preceding 3 
months.
    (5) Shipments used in determining qualifying percentages shall be 
milk transferred or diverted to and physically received by pool 
distributing plants, less any transfers or diversions of bulk fluid milk 
products from such pool distributing plants.
    (d) A plant located in the marketing area and operated by a 
cooperative association if, during the month or the immediately 
preceding 12-month period, 35 percent or more of the producer milk of 
members of the association (and any producer milk of nonmembers and 
members of another cooperative association which may be marketed by the 
cooperative association) is physically received in the form of bulk 
fluid milk products (excluding concentrated milk transferred to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I) at plants 
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section either directly from 
farms or by transfer from supply plants operated by the cooperative 
association and from plants of the cooperative association for which 
pool plant status has been requested under this paragraph subject to the 
following conditions:
    (1) The plant does not qualify as a pool plant under paragraph (a), 
(b) or (c) of this section or under comparable provisions of another 
Federal order; and
    (2) The plant is approved by a duly constituted regulatory agency 
for the handling of milk approved for fluid consumption in the marketing 
area.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and located in 
the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit by meeting the 
total and in-area route disposition requirements of a pool distributing 
plant specified in paragraph (a) of this section subject to the 
following additional requirements:

[[Page 124]]

    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process Class I or Class II 
products, using 50 percent or more of the total Grade A fluid milk 
products received in bulk form at such plant or diverted therefrom by 
the plant operator in Class I or Class II products, and must be located 
in a pricing zone providing the same or a lower Class I price than the 
price applicable at the distributing plant included in the unit pursuant 
to paragraph (e)(1) of this section; and
    (3) The operator of the unit has filed a written request with the 
market administrator prior to the first day of the month for which such 
status is desired to be effective. The unit shall continue from month to 
month thereafter without further notification. The handler shall notify 
the market administrator in writing prior to the first day of any month 
for which termination or any change of the unit is desired.
    (f) A system of supply plants may qualify for pooling if 2 or more 
plants operated by one or more handlers meet the applicable percentage 
requirements of paragraph (c) of this section in the same manner as a 
single plant, subject to the following additional requirements:
    (1) Each plant in the system is located within the marketing area;
    (2) The handler(s) establishing the system submits a written request 
to the market administrator on or before September 1 requesting that 
such plants qualify as a system for the period of September through 
August of the following year. Such request will contain a list of the 
plants participating in the system;
    (3) Each plant included within a pool supply plant system shall 
continue each month as a plant in the system through the following 
August unless the handler(s) establishing the system submits a written 
request to the market administrator that the plant be deleted from the 
system or that the system be discontinued. Any plant that has been so 
deleted from a system, or that has failed to qualify in any month, will 
not be part of any system for the remaining months through August. No 
plant may be added in any subsequent month through the following August 
to a system that qualifies in September; and
    (4) If a system fails to qualify under the requirements of this 
paragraph, the handler responsible for qualifying the system shall 
notify the market administrator which plant or plants will be deleted 
from the system so that the remaining plants may be pooled as a system. 
If the handler fails to do so, the market administrator shall exclude 
one or more plants, beginning at the bottom of the list of plants in the 
system and continuing up the list as necessary until the deliveries are 
sufficient to qualify the remaining plants in the system.
    (g) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c), (d), and 
(f) of this section may be increased or decreased, for all or part of 
the marketing area, by the market administrator if the market 
administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to encourage 
needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before making such 
a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the need for 
adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative or at the 
request of interested parties if the request is made in writing at least 
15 days prior to the month for which the requested revision is desired 
effective. If the investigation shows that an adjustment of the shipping 
percentages might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that an adjustment is being considered and invite data, 
views and arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable shipping 
percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before the 
effective date.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined under any Federal order;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant located within the marketing area and qualified pursuant 
to paragraph (a) of this section which meets the pooling requirements of 
another Federal order, and from which more than 50 percent of its route 
disposition has been in the other Federal order marketing area for 3 
consecutive

[[Page 125]]

months. On the basis of a written application made by the plant operator 
at least 15 days prior to the date for which a determination of the 
market administrator is to be effective, the market administrator may 
determine that the route disposition in the respective marketing areas 
to be used for purposes of this paragraph shall exclude (for a specified 
period of time) route disposition made under limited term contracts to 
governmental bases and institutions;
    (4) A plant located outside any Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant located in another Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a 
majority of its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 
consecutive months or if the plant is required to be regulated under 
such other Federal order without regard to its route disposition in any 
other Federal order marketing area;
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under 
the order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under 
the other Federal order; and
    (7) That portion of a regulated plant designated as a nonpool plant 
that is physically separate and operated separately from the pool 
portion of such plant. The designation of a portion of a plant must be 
requested in advance and in writing by the handler and must be approved 
by the market administrator. Such nonpool status shall be effective on 
the first day of the month following approval of the request by the 
market administrator and thereafter for the longer of twelve (12) 
consecutive months or until notification of the desire to requalify as a 
pool plant, in writing, is received by the market administrator. 
Requalification will require deliveries to a pool distributing plant(s) 
as provided for in Sec. 1032.7(c). For requalification, handlers may not 
use milk delivered directly from producer's farms pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.9(c) or Sec. 1032.13(c) for the first month.
    (i) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1032.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1032.7(a), (b), or (e);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (iii) The plant is described in Sec. 1000.8(a) or (e); or
    (iv) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1032.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route disposition and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.

Sec. 1032.10  Producer-handler.

    Producer-handler means a person who:
    (a) Operates a dairy farm and a distributing plant from which there 
is route disposition in the marketing area, and from which total route 
disposition and packaged sales of fluid milk products to other plants 
during the month does not exceed 3 million pounds;
    (b) Receives fluid milk from own farm production or milk that is 
fully subject to the pricing and pooling provisions of the order in this 
part or any other Federal order;
    (c) Receives at its plant or acquires for route disposition no more 
than 150,000 pounds of fluid milk products from handlers fully regulated 
under any Federal order. This limitation shall not apply if the 
producer-handler's own farm production is less than 150,000 pounds 
during the month;
    (d) Disposes of no other source milk as Class I milk except by 
increasing the nonfat milk solids content of the fluid milk products; 
and
    (e) Provides proof satisfactory to the market administrator that the 
care and management of the dairy animals and other resources necessary 
to produce all Class I milk handled (excluding receipts from handlers 
fully regulated under any Federal order) and the processing and 
packaging operations are the producer-handler's own enterprise and at 
its own risk.
    (f) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions 
and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or more 
during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to the 
provisions described in Sec. 1131.7 of this chapter or 1000.76(a).

Sec. 1032.11  [Reserved]



Sec. 1032.12  Producer.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, producer 
means any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted 
regulatory agency for fluid consumption as Grade A milk and whose milk 
(or components of milk) is:
    (1) Received at a pool plant directly from the producer or diverted 
by the plant operator in accordance with Sec. 1032.13; or (2) Received 
by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c).
    (b) Producer shall not include:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined in any Federal order;
    (2) A dairy farmer whose milk is received at an exempt plant, 
excluding producer milk diverted to the exempt plant pursuant to 
Sec. 1032.13(d);
    (3) A dairy farmer whose milk is received by diversion at a pool 
plant from a handler regulated under another Federal order if the other 
Federal order designates the dairy farmer as a producer under that order 
and that milk is allocated by request to a utilization other than Class 
I; and
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order.



Sec. 1032.13  Producer milk.

    Producer milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of 
components of skim milk), including nonfat components, and butterfat in 
milk of a producer that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;

[[Page 127]]

    (b) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of 
the quantity delivered to pool plants;
    (c) Diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant. Milk so 
diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to which diverted; 
or
    (d) Diverted by the operator of a pool plant or a cooperative 
association described in Sec. 1000.9(c) to a nonpool plant, subject to 
the following conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion until 
milk of such dairy farmer has been physically received as producer milk 
at a pool plant and the dairy farmer has continuously retained producer 
status since that time. If a dairy farmer loses producer status under 
the order in this part (except as a result of a temporary loss of Grade 
A approval), the dairy farmer's milk shall not be eligible for diversion 
until milk of the dairy farmer has been physically received as producer 
milk at a pool plant;
    (2) The equivalent of at least one day's milk production is caused 
by the handler to be physically received at a pool plant in each of the 
months of January and February, and August through November;
    (3) The equivalent of at least one day's milk production is caused 
by the handler to be physically received at a pool plant in each of the 
months of March through July and December if the requirement of 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section (Sec. 1032.13) in each of the prior 
months of August through November and January through February are not 
met, except in the case of a dairy farmer who marketed no Grade A milk 
during each of the prior months of August through November or January 
through February.
    (4) Of the quantity of producer milk received during the month 
(including diversions, but excluding the quantity of producer milk 
received from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c)) the handler diverts 
to nonpool plants not more than 75 percent during the months of August 
through February, and not more than 80 percent during the months of 
March through July, provided that not less than 25 percent of such 
receipts in the months of August through February and 20 percent of the 
remaining months' receipts are delivered to plants described in 
Sec. 1032.7(a), (b), or (i).;
    (5) Receipts used in determining qualifying percentages shall be 
milk transferred to or diverted to or physically received by a plant 
described in Sec. 1032.7(a), (b) or (i) less any transfer or diversion 
of bulk fluid milk products from such plants;
    (6) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted;
    (7) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits prescribed in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section shall not be producer milk. If the 
diverting handler or cooperative association fails to designate the 
dairy farmers' deliveries that are not to be producer milk, no milk 
diverted by the handler or cooperative association during the month to a 
nonpool plant shall be producer milk; and
    (8) The applicable diversion limits in paragraph (d)(2) of this 
section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator if the 
market administrator finds that such revision is necessary to assure 
orderly marketing and efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. 
Before making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate 
the need for the revision either on the market administrator's own 
initiative or at the request of interested persons if the request is 
made in writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the 
requested revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that 
a revision might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that the revision is being considered and inviting 
written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable 
percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before the 
effective date.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing program imposed under the 
authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns.
    (f) The quantity of milk reported by a handler pursuant to 
Sec. 1032.30(a)(1) and/or Sec. 1032.30(c)(1) for the current month

[[Page 128]]

may not exceed 125 percent of the producer milk receipts pooled by the 
handler during the prior month. Milk diverted to nonpool plants reported 
in excess of this limit shall be removed from the pool. Milk received at 
pool plants in excess of the 125 percent limit, other than pool 
distributing plants, shall be classified pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(v). The handler must designate, by producer pick-up, 
which milk is to be removed from the pool. If the handler fails to 
provide this information the provisions of paragraph (d)(5) of this 
section shall apply. The following provisions apply:
    (1) Milk shipped to and physically received at pool distributing 
plants shall not be subject to the 125 percent limitation;
    (2) Producer milk qualified pursuant to Sec. __.13 of any other 
Federal Order in the previous month shall not be included in the 
computation of the 125 percent limitation; provided that the producers 
comprising the milk supply have been continuously pooled on any Federal 
Order for the entirety of the most recent three consecutive months.
    (3) The market administrator may waive the 125 percent limitation:
    (i) For a new handler on the order, subject to the provisions of 
paragraph (f)(3) of this section, or
    (ii) For an existing handler with significantly changed milk supply 
conditions due to unusual circumstances;
    (4) A bloc of milk may be considered ineligible for pooling if the 
market administrator determines that handlers altered the reporting of 
such milk for the purpose of evading the provisions of this paragraph.

Sec. 1032.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at

[[Page 130]]

a pool plant by adding the amounts computed in paragraphs (a) through 
(i) of this section and subtracting from that total amount the value 
computed in paragraph (j) of this section. Unless otherwise specified, 
the skim milk, butterfat, and the combined pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat referred to in this section shall result from the steps set 
forth in Sec. 1000.44(a), (b), and (c), respectively, and the nonfat 
components of producer milk in each class shall be based upon the 
proportion of such components in producer skim milk. Receipts of 
nonfluid milk products that are distributed as labeled reconstituted 
milk for which payments are made to the producer-settlement fund of 
another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) shall be excluded 
from pricing under this section.
    (a) Class I value. (1) Multiply the pounds of skim milk in Class I 
by the Class I skim milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class II skim milk by the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value. (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III 
skim milk by the protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value. (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in 
Class IV skim milk by the nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Compute an adjustment for the somatic cell content of producer 
milk by multiplying the values reported pursuant to Sec. 1032.30(a)(1) 
and (c)(1) by the percentage of total producer milk allocated to Class 
II, Class III, and Class IV pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c);
    (f) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (g) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.
    (i) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent that an 
equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such plant by 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is classified and 
priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for any other 
payment obligation under any order.
    (j) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products,

[[Page 131]]

multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the Class I 
price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class IV 
price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1032.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1032.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions of 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1032.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1032.30;
    (b) Subtract the total values obtained by multiplying each handler's 
total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained in the 
milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to Sec. 1032.60 by 
the protein price, the other solids price, and the butterfat price, 
respectively, and the total value of the somatic cell adjustment 
pursuant to Sec. 1032.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1032.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and
    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1032.60(i); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result 
shall be known as the producer price differential for the month.

[68 FR 7067, Feb. 12, 2003]



Sec. 1032.62  Announcement of producer prices.

    On or before the 11th day after the end of each month, the market 
administrator shall announce publicly the following prices and 
information:
    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The somatic cell adjustment rate;
    (g) The average butterfat, protein, nonfat solids, and other solids 
content of producer milk; and
    (h) The statistical uniform price for milk containing 3.5 percent 
butterfat, computed by combining the Class III price and the producer 
price differential.

    (2) For the total quantity of bulk fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products received from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, at not less than the total 
value of such products received from the association's pool plants, as 
determined by multiplying the respective quantities assigned to each 
class under Sec. 1000.44 as follows:
    (i) The hundredweight of Class I skim milk times the Class I skim 
milk price for the month plus the pounds of Class I butterfat times the 
Class I butterfat price for the month. The Class I prices to be used 
shall be the prices effective at the location of the receiving plant;
    (ii) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by the Class 
II nonfat solids price;

times the somatic cell adjustment; and
    (ix) Add together the amounts computed in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) 
through (viii) of this section and from that sum deduct any payment made 
pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this section; and
    (3) For the total quantity of milk received during the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as a handler under 
Sec. 1000.9(c) as follows:
    (i) The hundredweight of producer milk received times the producer 
price differential as adjusted pursuant to Sec. 1032.75;

price for the month;
    (v) The hundredweight of milk received times the somatic cell 
adjustment for the month; and
    (vi) Add together the amounts computed in paragraphs (c)(3)(i) 
through (v) of this section and from that sum deduct any payment made 
pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (d) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1032.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this section, the handler may reduce pro 
rata its payments to producers or to the cooperative association (with 
respect to receipts described in paragraph (b) of this section, 
prorating the underpayment to the volume of milk received from the 
cooperative association in proportion to the total milk received from 
producers by the handler), but not by more than the amount of the 
underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the next scheduled 
payment date after receipt of the balance due from the market 
administrator.
    (e) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim

[[Page 134]]

is later established, the market administrator shall make the required 
payment from the producer-settlement fund to the handler or to the 
lawful claimant, as the case may be.
    (f) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
handler shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose milk was 
received from a cooperative association handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in a form that may be 
retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The daily and total pounds, and the month and dates such milk 
was received from that producer;

required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (6) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (7) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, or rate per pound of 
component, and the nature of each deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (8) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

Sec. 1033.7  Pool plant.

    Pool plant means a plant, unit of plants, or system of plants as 
specified in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this section, or a plant 
specified in paragraph (j) of this section, but excluding a plant 
specified in paragraph (h) of this section. The pooling standards 
described in paragraphs (c) through (f) of this section are subject to 
modification pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section:
    (a) A distributing plant, other than a plant qualified as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section or Sec. __.7(b) of any 
other Federal milk order, from which during the month 30 percent or more 
of the total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at the 
plant (excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by 
agreement for other than class I use) are disposed of as route 
disposition or are transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk 
products to other distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route 
disposition and transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area. 
Plants located within the marketing area that meet the 30 percent route 
disposition standard contained above, and have combined route 
disposition and transfers of at least 50 percent into Federal order 
marketing areas will be regulated as a distributing plant in this order.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 30 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which the quantity of bulk fluid milk 
products shipped to, received at, and physically unloaded into plants 
described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section as a percent of the 
Grade A milk received at the plant from dairy farmers (except dairy 
farmers described in Sec. 1033.12(b)) and handlers described in 
Sec. 1000.9(c), as reported in Sec. 1033.30(a), is not less than 40 
percent of the milk received from dairy farmers, including milk diverted 
pursuant to Sec. 1033.13, subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Qualifying shipments pursuant to this paragraph may be made to 
the following plants, except whenever the authority provided in 
paragraph (g) of this section is applied to increase the shipping 
requirements specified in this section, only shipments to pool plants 
described in Sec. 1033.7(a) and (b), shall count as qualifying shipments 
for the purpose of meeting the increased shipments:
    (i) Pool plants described in Sec. 1033.7(a) and (b);
    (ii) Plants of producer-handlers;
    (iii) Partially regulated distributing plants, except that credit 
for such shipments shall be limited to the amount of such milk 
classified as Class I at the transferee plant.
    (2) The operator of a supply plant located within the marketing area 
may include deliveries to pool distributing plants directly from farms 
of producers pursuant to Sec. 1033.13(c) as up to 90 percent of the 
supply plant's qualifying shipments. Handlers may not use shipments 
pursuant to Sec. 1033.13(c) to qualify plants located outside the 
marketing area.
    (3) Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall be 
excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the supply 
plant's shipping percentage.

[[Page 137]]

    (4) Shipments used in determining qualifying percentages shall be 
milk transferred or diverted and physically received by pool 
distributing plants, less any transfers or diversions of bulk fluid milk 
products from such pool distributing plants.
    (5) A supply plant that does not meet the minimum delivery 
requirements specified in this paragraph to qualify for pool status in 
the current month because a distributing plant to which the supply plant 
delivered its fluid milk products during such month failed to qualify as 
a pool plant pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this section shall 
continue to be a pool plant for the current month if such supply plant 
qualified as a pool plant in the 3 immediately preceding months.
    (d) A plant located in the marketing area and operated by a 
cooperative association if, during the months of December through July 
30 percent, during the month of August 35 percent and during the months 
of September through November 40 percent or more of the producer milk of 
members of the association is delivered to a distributing pool plant(s) 
or to a nonpool plant(s) and classified as Class I. Deliveries for 
qualification purposes may be made directly from the farm or by transfer 
from such association's plant, subject to the following conditions:
    (1) The cooperative requests pool status for such plant;
    (2) The 30 percent delivery requirement for the months of December 
through July may be met for the current month or it may be met on the 
basis of deliveries during the preceding 12-month period ending with the 
current month.
    (3) The plant is approved by a duly constituted regulatory authority 
to handle milk for fluid consumption; and
    (4) The plant does not qualify as a pool plant under paragraph (a), 
(b), or (c) of this section or under the similar provisions of another 
Federal order applicable to a distributing plant or supply plant.
    (e) A plant located inside the marketing area which has been a pool 
plant under this order for twelve consecutive months, but is not 
otherwise qualified under this paragraph, if it has a marketing 
agreement with a cooperative association and it fulfills the following 
conditions:
    (1) The aggregate monthly quantity supplied by all parties to such 
an agreement as a percentage of the producer milk receipts included in 
the unit during the months of August through November is not less than 
45 percent and during the months of December through July is not less 
than 35 percent;
    (2) Shipments for qualification purposes shall include both 
transfers from supply plants to plants described in paragraph (c)(1) of 
this section, and deliveries made direct from the farm to plants 
qualified under paragraph (a) of this section.
    (f) A system of supply plants may qualify for pooling if 2 or more 
plants operated by one or more handlers meet the applicable percentage 
requirements of paragraph (c) of this section in the same manner as a 
single plant subject to the following additional requirements:
    (1) Each plant in the system is located within the marketing area, 
or was a pool supply plant for each of the 3 months immediately 
preceding the effective date of this paragraph so long as it continues 
to maintain pool status. Cooperative associations may not use shipments 
pursuant to Sec. 1033.9(c) to qualify plants located outside the 
marketing area;
    (2) A written notification to the market administrator listing the 
plants to be included in the system and the handler that is responsible 
for meeting the performance requirements of this paragraph under a 
marketing agreement certified to the market administrator by the 
designated handler and any others included in the system, and the period 
during which such consideration shall apply. Such notice, and notice of 
any change in designation, shall be furnished on or before the 5th 
working day following the month to which the notice applies. The listed 
plants included in the system shall also be in the sequence in which 
they shall qualify for pool plant status based on the minimum deliveries 
required. If the deliveries made are insufficient to qualify the entire 
system for pooling, the last listed plant shall be excluded from the 
system, followed by the plant next-

[[Page 138]]

to-last on the list, and continuing in this sequence until remaining 
listed plants have met the minimum shipping requirements; and
    (3) Each plant that qualifies as a pool plant within a system shall 
continue each month as a plant in the system unless the plant 
subsequently fails to qualify for pooling, or the responsible handler 
submits a written notification to the market administrator prior to the 
first day of the month that the plant is to be deleted from the system, 
or that the system is to be discontinued. In any month of March through 
August, a system shall not contain any plant which was not qualified 
under this paragraph, either individually or as a member of a system, 
during the previous September through February.
    (g) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) through 
(f) of this section may be increased or decreased by the market 
administrator if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is 
necessary to encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic 
shipments. Before making such a finding, the market administrator shall 
investigate the need for adjustment either on the market administrator's 
own initiative or at the request of interested parties if the request is 
made in writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the 
requested revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that 
an adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the 
market administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is 
being considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to 
revise an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at 
least one day before the effective date.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined under any Federal order;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant located within the marketing area and qualified pursuant 
to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the pooling requirements of 
another Federal order, and from which more than 50 percent of its route 
disposition has been in the other Federal order marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (4) A plant located outside any Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant located in another Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a 
majority of its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 
consecutive months or if the plant is required to be regulated under 
such other Federal order without regard to its route disposition in any 
other Federal order marketing area;
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section that 
also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and from 
which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated under 
the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under the 
order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under the 
other Federal order.
    (i) Any plant that qualifies as a pool plant in each of the 
immediately preceding 3 months pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
or the shipping percentages in paragraph (c) of this section that is 
unable to meet such performance standards for the current month because 
of unavoidable circumstances determined by the market administrator to 
be beyond the control of the handler operating the plant, such as a 
natural disaster (ice storm, wind storm, flood), fire, breakdown of 
equipment, or work stoppage, shall be considered to have met the minimum 
performance standards during the period of such unavoidable 
circumstances, but such relief shall not be granted for more than 2 
consecutive months.
    (j) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1033.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid

[[Page 139]]

milk products in any non-federally regulated marketing area(s) located 
within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum prices 
for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at such plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or is 
transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other plants. 
At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, in 
aggregate, are in any non-federally regulated marketing area(s) located 
within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum prices 
for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1033.7(a) or (b);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (iii) The plant is described in Sec. 1000.8(a) or (e); or
    (iv) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1033.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route disposition and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.

I; and
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order.



Sec. 1033.13  Producer milk.

    Producer milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of 
components of skim milk), including nonfat components, and butterfat in 
milk of a producer that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;
    (b) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of

the following conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion until 
milk of such dairy farmer has been physically received as producer milk 
at a pool plant and the dairy farmer has continuously retained producer 
status since that time. If a dairy farmer loses producer status under 
the order in this part (except as a result of a temporary loss of Grade 
A approval), the dairy farmer's milk shall not be eligible for diversion 
until milk of the dairy farmer has been physically received as producer 
milk at a pool plant;
    (2) The equivalent of at least two days' milk production is caused 
by the handler to be physically received at a pool plant in each of the 
months of August through November;
    (3) The equivalent of at least two days' milk production is caused 
by the handler to be physically received at a pool plant in each of the 
months of December through July if the requirement of paragraph (d)(2) 
of this section (Sec. 1033.13) in each of the prior months of August 
through November are not met, except in the case of a dairy farmer who 
marketed no Grade A milk during each of the prior months of August 
through November.
    (4) Of the total quantity of producer milk received during the month 
(including diversions but excluding the quantity of producer milk 
received from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) or which is diverted 
to another pool plant), the handler diverted to nonpool plants not more 
than 50 percent in each of the months of August through February and 60 
percent in each of the months of March through July.
    (5) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted;
    (6) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits set forth in paragraph 
(d)(3) of this section shall not be producer milk. The diverting handler 
shall designate the dairy farmer deliveries that shall not be producer 
milk. If the handler fails to designate the dairy farmer deliveries 
which are ineligible, producer milk status shall be forfeited with 
respect to all milk diverted to nonpool plants by such handler; and
    (7) The delivery day requirement in paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(3) of 
this section and the diversion percentages in

[[Page 141]]

paragraph (d)(4) of this section may be increased or decreased by the 
market administrator if the market administrator finds that suhc 
revision is necessary to assure orderly marketing and efficient handling 
of milk in the marketing area. Before making such a finding, the market 
administrator shall investigate the need for the revision either on the 
market administrator's own initiative or at the request of interested 
persons if the request is made in writing at least 15 days prior to the 
month for which the requested revision is desired effective. If the 
investigation shows that a revision might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that the revision is being 
considered and inviting written data, views, and arguments. Any decision 
to revise an applicable percentage must be issued in writing at least 
one day before the effective date.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing plan imposed under the authority 
of another government entity.
    (f) Producer milk of a handler shall not exceed the limits as 
established in Sec. 1033.13(f)(1) through Sec. 1033.13(f)(3).
    (1) Producer milk for the months of April through February may not 
exceed 115 percent of the producer milk receipts of the prior month. 
Producer milk for March may not exceed 120 percent of producer receipts 
of the prior month; plus
    (2) Milk shipped to and physically received at pool distributing 
plants and allocated to Class I use in excess of the volume allocated to 
Class I in the prior month; plus
    (3) If a producer did not have any milk delivered to any plant as 
other than producer milk as defined under the order in this part or any 
other Federal milk order for the preceding three months; and the 
producer had milk qualified as producer milk on any other Federal order 
in the previous month, add the lesser of the following:
    (i) Any positive difference of the volume of milk qualified as 
producer milk on any other Federal order in the previous month, less the 
volume of milk qualified as producer milk on any other Federal order in 
the current month, or
    (ii) Any positive difference of the volume of milk qualified as 
producer milk under the order in this part in the current month, less 
the volume of milk qualified as producer milk under the order in this 
part in the previous month.
    (4) Milk received at pool plants in excess of these limits shall be 
classified pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(v) and Sec. 1000.44(b). Milk 
diverted to nonpool plants reported in excess of this limit shall not be 
producer milk. The handler must designate, by producer pick-up, which 
milk shall not be producer milk. If the handler fails to provide this 
information the provisions of Sec. 1033.13(d)(6) shall apply.
    (5) The market administrator may waive these limitations:
    (i) For a new handler on the order, subject to the provisions of 
Sec. 1033.13(f)(6), or
    (ii) For an existing handler with significantly changed milk supply 
conditions due to unusual circumstances;
    (6) Milk may not be considered producer milk if the market 
administrator determines that handlers altered the reporting of such 
milk for the purpose of evading the provisions of this paragraph.

Sec. 1033.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (j) of this 
section. Unless otherwise specified, the skim milk, butterfat, and the 
combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat referred to in this section 
shall result from the steps set forth in Sec. 1000.44(a), (b), and (c), 
respectively, and the nonfat components of producer milk in each class 
shall be based upon the proportion of such components in producer skim 
milk. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as labeled 
reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Class I value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of skim milk in Class I by the Class I skim 
milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by 
the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III skim milk by the 
protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV skim milk by 
the nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Compute an adjustment for the somatic cell content of producer 
milk by multiplying the values reported pursuant to Sec. 033.30(a)(1) 
and (c)(1) by the percentage of total producer milk allocated to Class 
II, Class III, and Class IV pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c);
    (f) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (g) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class

[[Page 144]]

IV price for the preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and 
butterfat subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from a plant regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.
    (i) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent that an 
equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such plant by 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is classified and 
priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for any other 
payment obligation under any order.
    (j) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1033.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1033.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions of 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1033.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1033.30;
    (b) Subtract the total values obtained by multiplying each handler's 
total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained in the 
milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to Sec. 1033.60 by 
the protein price, the other solids price, and the butterfat price, 
respectively, and the total value of the somatic cell adjustment 
pursuant to Sec. 1033.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1033.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and
    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1033.60(i); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result 
shall be known as

[[Page 145]]

the producer price differential for the month.

[68 FR 7067, Feb. 12, 2003]



Sec. 1033.62  Announcement of producer prices.

    On or before the 13th day after the end of each month, the market 
administrator shall announce publicly the following prices and 
information:
    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The somatic cell adjustment rate;
    (g) The average butterfat, protein, nonfat solids, and other solids 
content of producer milk; and
    (h) The statistical uniform price for milk containing 3.5 percent 
butterfat, computed by combining the Class III price and the producer 
price differential.

Sec. 1033.72  Payments from the producer-settlement fund.

    No later than the 16th day after the end of each month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), the market administrator shall pay to each 
handler the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1033.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1033.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1033.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler shall pay each producer for producer milk for which 
payment is not made to a cooperative association pursuant to paragraph 
(b) of this section, as follows:
    (1) Partial payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the date of this partial payment, payment shall be made 
so that it is received by each producer on or before the 26th day of the 
month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the 
first 15 days of the month from the producer at not less than the lowest 
announced class price for the preceding month, less proper deductions 
authorized in writing by the producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, payment shall 
be made so that it is received by each producer no later than the 17th 
day after

[[Page 146]]

the end of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) in an amount 
equal to not less than the sum of:
    (i) The hundredweight of producer milk received times the producer 
price differential for the month as adjusted pursuant to Sec. 1033.75;
    (ii) The pounds of butterfat received times the butterfat price for 
the month;
    (iii) The pounds of protein received times the protein price for the 
month;
    (iv) The pounds of other solids received times the other solids 
price for the month;
    (v) The hundredweight of milk received times the somatic cell 
adjustment for the month;
    (vi) Less any payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section;
    (vii) Less proper deductions authorized in writing by such producer 
and plus or minus adjustments for errors in previous payments to such 
producer; and
    (viii) Less deductions for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86.
    (b) Payments for milk received from cooperative associations. On or 
before the day prior to the dates specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and 
(a)(2) of this section (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90), each 
handler shall pay to a cooperative association for milk received as 
follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association. For bulk fluid 
milk/skimmed milk received during the first 15 days of the month from a 
cooperative association in any capacity, except as the operator of a 
pool plant, the partial payment shall be equal to the hundredweight of 
milk received multiplied by the lowest announced class price for the 
preceding month.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk/skimmed milk 
products received during the first 15 days of the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, 
the partial payment shall be at the pool plant operator's estimated use 
value of the milk using the most recent class prices available at the 
receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. Following the classification of bulk fluid milk 
products and bulk fluid cream products received during the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, 
the final payment for such receipts shall be determined as follows:
    (i) The hundredweight of Class I skim milk times the Class I skim 
milk price for the month plus the pounds of Class I butterfat times the 
Class I butterfat price for the month. The Class I prices to be used 
shall be the prices effective at the location of the receiving plant;
    (ii) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by the Class 
II nonfat solids price;
    (iii) The pounds of butterfat in Class II times the Class II 
butterfat price;
    (iv) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV times the nonfat solids 
price;
    (v) The pounds of butterfat in Class III and Class IV milk times the 
butterfat price;
    (vi) The pounds of protein in Class III milk times the protein 
price;
    (vii) The pounds of other solids in Class III milk times the other 
solids price;
    (viii) The hundredweight of Class II, Class III, and Class IV milk 
times the somatic cell adjustment; and
    (ix) Add together the amounts computed in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) 
through (viii) of this section and from that sum deduct any payment made 
pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1033.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce payments 
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but not by

[[Page 147]]

more than the amount of the underpayment. The payments shall be 
completed on the next scheduled payment date after receipt of the 
balance due from the market administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant, as the case 
may be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
handler shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose milk was 
received from a cooperative association handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in a form that may be 
retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The daily and total pounds, and the month and dates such milk 
was received from that producer;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat, protein, and other solids 
contained in the producer's milk;
    (4) The somatic cell count of the producer's milk;
    (5) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (6) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (7) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, or rate per pound of 
component, and the nature of each deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (8) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

disposition or are transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk 
products to other distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route 
disposition and transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 25 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.

diverted as producer milk to another plant pursuant to Sec. 1124.13, is 
shipped in the form of a fluid milk product (excluding concentrated milk 
transferred by agreement for other than Class I use) to a pool 
distributing plant or is a route disposition in the marketing area of 
fluid milk products processed and packaged at such plant;
    (1) A supply plant that has qualified as a pool plant during each of 
the immediately preceding months of September through February shall 
continue to so qualify in each of the following months of March through 
August, unless the plant operator files a written request with the 
market administrator that such plant not be a pool plant, such nonpool 
status to be effective the first month following such request and 
thereafter until the plant qualifies as a pool plant on the basis of 
milk shipments;
    (2) No plant may qualify as a pool plant due to a reduction in the 
shipping percentage pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section unless it 
has been a pool supply plant during each of the immediately preceding 3 
months.
    (d) A manufacturing plant located within the marketing area and 
operated by a cooperative association, or its wholly owned subsidiary, 
if, during the month, or the immediately preceding 12-month period 
ending with the current month, 20 percent or more of the producer milk 
of members of the association (and any producer milk of nonmembers and 
members of another cooperative association which may be marketed by the 
cooperative association) is physically received in the form of bulk 
fluid milk products (excluding concentrated milk transferred to a 
distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other that Class I) at plants 
specified in paragraph (a), (b), or (e) of this section either directly 
from farms or by transfer from supply plants operated by the cooperative 
association, or its wholly owned subsidiary, and from plants of the 
cooperative association, or its wholly owned subsidiary, for which pool 
plant status has been requested under this paragraph subject to the 
following conditions:
    (1) The plant does not qualify as a pool plant under paragraph (a), 
(b), (c), or (e) of this section or under comparable provisions of 
another Federal order; and
    (2) The plant is approved by a duly constituted regulatory agency 
for the handling of milk approved for fluid consumption in the marketing 
area.
    (3) A request is filed in writing with the market administrator 
before the first day of the month for which it is to

be effective. The request will remain in effect until a cancellation 
request is filed in writing with the market administrator before the 
first day of the month for which the cancellation is to be effective.
    (e) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1124.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1124.7(a) or (b);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;
    (iii) The plant is described in Sec. 1000.8(a) or (e); or
    (iv) A producer-handler described in Sec. 1124.10 with less than 
three million pounds during the month of route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products to other plants.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (f) A system of two or more plants identified in Sec. 1124.7(d) 
operated by one or more cooperative handlers may qualify for pooling by 
meeting the above shipping requirements subject to the following 
additional requirements:
    (1) The cooperative handler(s) establishing the system submits a 
written request to the market administrator on or before the first day 
of the month for which the system is to be effective requesting that 
such plants qualify as a system. Such request will contain a list of the 
plants participating in the system in the order, beginning with the last 
plant, in which the plants will be dropped from the system if the system 
fails to qualify. Each plant that qualifies as a pool plant within a 
system shall continue each month as a plant in the system until the 
handler(s) establishing the system submits a written request before the 
first day of the month to the market administrator that the plant be 
deleted from the system or that the system be discontinued. Any plant 
that has been so deleted from a system, or that has failed to qualify in 
any month, will not be part of any system. In the event of an ownership 
change or the business failure of a handler that is a participant in the 
system, the system may be reorganized to reflect such a change if a 
written request to file a new marketing agreement is submitted to the 
market administrator; and
    (2) If a system fails to qualify under the requirement of this 
paragraph, the handler responsible for qualifying the system shall 
notify the market administrator of which plant or plants will be deleted 
from the system so that the remaining plants may be pooled as a system. 
If the handler fails to do so, the market administrator shall exclude 
one or more plants, beginning at the bottom of the list of plants in the 
system and continue up the list as necessary until the deliveries are 
sufficient to qualify the remaining plants in the system.
    (g) The applicable shipping percentage of paragraphs (c) and (d) of 
this section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator 
if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to 
encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the requested 
revision is desired to be effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating

[[Page 151]]

that an adjustment is being considered and invite data, views and 
arguments. Any decision to revise an applicable shipping percentage must 
be issued in writing at least one day before the effective date.
    (h) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined under any Federal order;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant located within the marketing area and qualified pursuant 
to paragraph (a) of this section which meets the pooling requirements of 
another Federal order, and from which more than 50 percent of its route 
disposition has been in the other Federal order marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (4) A plant located outside any Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant located in another Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a 
majority of its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 
consecutive months or if the plant is required to be regulated under 
such other Federal order without regard to its route disposition in any 
other Federal order marketing area; and
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under 
the order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under 
the other Federal order.

Sec. 1124.9  Handler.

    See Sec. 1000.9.



Sec. 1124.10  Producer-handler.

    Producer-handler means a person who operates a dairy farm and a 
distributing plant from which there is route disposition in the 
marketing area, from which total route disposition and packaged sales of 
fluid milk products to other plants during the month does not exceed 3 
million pounds, and who the market administrator has designated a 
producer-handler after determining that all of the requirements of this 
section have been met.
    (a) Requirements for designation. Designation of any person as a 
producer-handler by the market administrator shall be contingent upon 
meeting the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of 
this section. Following the cancellation of a previous producer-handler 
designation, a person seeking to have their producer-handler designation 
reinstated must demonstrate that these conditions have been met for the 
preceding month.
    (1) The care and management of the dairy animals and the other 
resources and facilities designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
necessary to produce all Class I milk handled (excluding receipts from 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal order) are under the complete 
and exclusive control, ownership and management of the producer-handler 
and are operated as the producer-handler's own enterprise and its own 
risk.
    (2) The plant operation designated in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section at which the producer-handler processes and packages, and from 
which it distributes, its own milk production is under the complete and 
exclusive control, ownership and management of the producer-handler and 
is operated as the producer-handler's own enterprise and at its sole 
risk.
    (3) The producer-handler neither receives at its designated milk 
production resources and facilities nor receives, handles, processes, or 
distributes at or through any of its designated milk handling, 
processing, or distributing resources and facilities other source milk 
products for reconstitution into fluid milk products or fluid milk

[[Page 152]]

products derived from any source other than:
    (i) Its designated milk production resources and facilities (own 
farm production);
    (ii) Pool handlers and plants regulated under any Federal order 
within the limitation specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section; or
    (iii) Nonfat milk solids which are used to fortify fluid milk 
products.
    (4) The producer-handler is neither directly nor indirectly 
associated with the business control or management of, nor has a 
financial interest in, another handler's operation; nor is any other 
handler so associated with the producer-handler's operation.
    (5) No milk produced by the herd(s) or on the farm(s) that supply 
milk to the producer-handler's plant operation is:
    (i) Subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide 
equalization pool under a milk classification and pricing program under 
the authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns, or
    (ii) Marketed in any part as Class I milk to the non-pool 
distributing plant of any other handler.
    (b) Designation of resources and facilities. Designation of a person 
as a producer-handler shall include the determination of what shall 
constitute milk production, handling, processing, and distribution 
resources and facilities, all of which shall be considered an integrated 
operation, under the sole and exclusive ownership of the producer-
handler.
    (1) Milk production resources and facilities shall include all 
resources and facilities (milking herd(s), buildings housing such 
herd(s), and the land on which such buildings are located) used for the 
production of milk which are solely owned, operated, and which the 
producer-handler has designated as a source of milk supply for the 
producer-handler's plant operation. However, for purposes of this 
paragraph, any such milk production resources and facilities which do 
not constitute an actual or potential source of milk supply for the 
producer-handler's operation shall not be considered a part of the 
producer-handler's milk production resources and facilities.
    (2) Milk handling, processing, and distribution resources and 
facilities shall include all resources and facilities (including store 
outlets) used for handling, processing, and distributing fluid milk 
products which are solely owned by, and directly operated or controlled 
by the producer-handler or in which the producer-handler in any way has 
an interest, including any contractual arrangement, or over which the 
producer-handler directly or indirectly exercises any degree of 
management control.
    (3) All designations shall remain in effect until canceled, pursuant 
to paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Cancellation. The designation as a producer-handler shall be 
canceled upon determination by the market administrator that any of the 
requirements of paragraph (a)(1) through (5) of this section are not 
continuing to be met, or under any of the conditions described in 
paragraphs (c)(1), (2) or (3) of this section. Cancellation of a 
producer-handler's status pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective 
on the first day of the month following the month in which the 
requirements were not met or the conditions for cancellation occurred.
    (1) Milk from the milk production resources and facilities of the 
producer-handler, designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, is 
delivered in the name of another person as producer milk to another 
handler.
    (2) The producer-handler handles fluid milk products derived from 
sources other than the milk production facilities and resources 
designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, except that it may 
receive at its plant, or acquire for route disposition, fluid milk 
products from fully regulated plants and handlers under any Federal 
order if such receipts do not exceed 150,000 pounds monthly. This 
limitation shall not apply if the producer-handler's own-farm production 
is less than 150,000 pounds during the month.
    (3) Milk from the milk production resources and facilities of the 
producer-handler is subject to inclusion and participation in a 
marketwide equalization pool under a milk classification and pricing 
plan operating under the authority of a State government.

[[Page 153]]

    (d) Public announcement. The market administrator shall publicly 
announce:
    (1) The name, plant location(s), and farm location(s) of persons 
designated as producer-handlers;
    (2) The names of those persons whose designations have been 
cancelled; and
    (3) The effective dates of producer-handler status or loss of 
producer-handler status for each. Such announcements shall be 
controlling with respect to the accounting at plants of other handlers 
for fluid milk products received from any producer-handler.
    (e) Burden of establishing and maintaining producer-handler status. 
The burden rests upon the handler who is designated as a producer-
handler to establish through records required pursuant to Sec. 1000.27 
that the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of this section have 
been and are continuing to be met, and that the conditions set forth in 
paragraph (c) of this section for cancellation of the designation do not 
exist.
    (f) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions 
and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or more 
during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to the 
provisions described in Sec. 1131.7 of this chapter or Sec. 1000.76(a).

Sec. 1124.11  Cooperative reserve supply unit.

    Cooperative reserve supply unit means any cooperative association or 
its agent that is a handler pursuant to Sec. 1000.9(c) that does not own 
or operate a plant, if such cooperative has been qualified to receive 
payments pursuant to Sec. 1124.73 and has been a handler of producer 
milk under the order in this part or its predecessor order during each 
of the 12 previous months, and if a majority of the cooperative's member 
producers are located within 125 miles of a plant described in 
Sec. 1124.7(a). A cooperative reserve supply unit shall be subject to 
the following conditions:
    (a) The cooperative shall file a request with the market 
administrator for cooperative reserve supply unit status at least 15 
days prior to the first day of the month in which such status is desired 
to be effective. Once qualified as a cooperative reserve supply unit 
pursuant to this paragraph, such status shall continue to be effective 
unless the cooperative requests termination prior to the first day of 
the month that change of status is requested, or the cooperative fails 
to meet all of the conditions of this section.
    (b) The cooperative reserve supply unit supplies fluid milk products 
to pool distributing plants located within 125 miles of a majority of 
the cooperative's member producers in compliance with any announcement 
by the market administrator requesting a minimum level of shipments as 
follows:
    (1) The market administrator may require such supplies of bulk fluid 
milk from cooperative reserve supply units whenever the market 
administrator finds that milk supplies for Class I use are needed for 
plants defined in Sec. 1124.7(a) or (b). Before making such a finding, 
the market administrator shall investigate the need for such shipments 
either on the market administrator's own initiative or at the request of 
interested persons if the request is made in writing at least 15 days 
prior to the month for which the requested revision is desired 
effective. If the market administrator's investigation shows that such 
shipments might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that a shipping announcement is being considered and 
inviting data, views and arguments with respect to the proposed shipping 
announcement. Any decision

[[Page 154]]

on the required shipment of bulk fluid milk from cooperative reserve 
supply units must be made in writing at least one day before the 
effective date.
    (2) Failure of a cooperative reserve supply unit to comply with any 
announced shipping requirements, including making any significant change 
in the unit's marketing operation that the market administrator 
determines has the impact of evading or forcing such an announcement, 
shall result in immediate loss of cooperative reserve supply unit status 
until such time as the unit has been a handler pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.9(c) for at least 12 consecutive months.



Sec. 1124.12  Producer.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, producer 
means any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted 
regulatory agency for fluid consumption as Grade A milk and whose milk 
(or components of milk) is:
    (1) Received at a pool plant directly from the producer or diverted 
by the plant operator in accordance with Sec. 1124.13; or
    (2) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c).
    (b) Producer shall not include:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined in any Federal order;
    (2) A dairy farmer whose milk is received at an exempt plant, 
excluding producer milk diverted to the exempt plant pursuant to 
Sec. 1124.13(e);
    (3) A dairy farmer whose milk is received by diversion at a pool 
plant from a handler regulated under another Federal order if the other 
Federal order designates the dairy farmer as a producer under that order 
and that milk is allocated by request to a utilization other than Class 
I;
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order; and
    (5) A dairy farmer whose milk was received at a nonpool plant during 
the month from the same farm as other than producer milk under the order 
in this part or any other Federal order. Such a dairy farmer shall be 
known as a dairy farmer for other markets.



Sec. 1124.13  Producer milk.

    Except as provided for in paragraph (f) of this section, Producer 
milk means the skim milk (or skim milk equivalent of components of skim 
milk), including nonfat components, and butterfat in milk of a producer 
that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;
    (b) Received by a cooperative reserve supply unit described in 
Sec. 1124.11. All milk received pursuant to this paragraph shall be 
priced at the location of the plant where it is first physically 
received and shall not be subject to the conditions specified in 
paragraph (e) of this section;
    (c) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of 
the quantity delivered to pool plants;
    (d) Diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant. Milk so 
diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to which diverted; 
or
    (e) Diverted by the operator of a pool plant or a cooperative 
association described in Sec. 1000.9(c), excluding a cooperative reserve 
supply unit described in Sec. 1124.11, to a nonpool plant, subject to 
the following conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion 
unless at least 3 days' production of such dairy farmer's production is 
physically received at a pool plant during the month.
    (2) Of the quantity of producer milk received during the month 
(including diversions, but excluding the quantity of producer milk 
received from a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c)) the handler diverts 
to nonpool plants not more than 80 percent.
    (3) Two or more handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c) may have their 
allowable diversions computed on the basis of their combined deliveries 
of producer milk which they caused to be delivered to pool plants or 
diverted during the month if each has filed a request in writing with 
the market administrator before the first day of the month the

[[Page 155]]

agreement is to be effective. The request shall specify the basis for 
assigning overdiverted milk to the producer deliveries of each according 
to a method approved by the market administrator.
    (4) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted;
    (5) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits prescribed in 
paragraph (e)(2) of this section shall not be producer milk. If the 
diverting handler or cooperative association fails to designate the 
dairy farmers' deliveries that are not to be producer milk, no milk 
diverted by the handler or cooperative association during the month to a 
nonpool plant shall be producer milk. In the event some of the milk of 
any producer is determined not to be producer milk pursuant to this 
paragraph, other milk delivered by such producer as producer milk during 
the month will not be subject to Sec. 1124.12(b)(5).
    (6) The delivery day requirement in paragraph (e)(1) of this section 
and the diversion percentage in paragraph (e)(2) of this section may be 
increased or decreased by the market administrator if the market 
administrator finds that such revision is necessary to assure the 
orderly marketing and efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. 
Before making such finding, the market administrator shall investigate 
the need for the revision either on the market administrator's own 
initiative or at the request of interested persons if the request is 
made in writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the 
requested revision is desired to be effective. If the investigation 
shows that a revision might be appropriate, the market administrator 
shall issue a notice stating that the revision is being considered and 
inviting written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise the 
delivery day requirement or the diversion percentage must be issued in 
writing at least one day before the effective date.
    (f) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing program imposed under the 
authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns.

Sec. 1124.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (h) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (i) of this 
section. Unless otherwise specified, the skim milk, butterfat, and the 
combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat referred to in this section 
shall result from the steps set forth in Sec. 1000.44 (a), (b), and (c), 
respectively, and the nonfat components of producer milk in each class 
shall be based upon the proportion of such components in producer skim 
milk. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as labeled 
reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76 (a)(4) or 
(d) shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Class I value.
    (1) Multiply the hundredweight of skim milk in Class I by the Class 
I skim milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by 
the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III skim milk by the 
protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV skim milk by 
the nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding 
steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (f) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (g) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3) (i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply

[[Page 158]]

plant to the extent that an equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat 
disposed of to such plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal 
milk order is classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as 
an offset for any other payment obligation under any order.
    (i) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1124.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1124.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions of 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1124.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1124.30;
    (b) Subtract the total values obtained by multiplying each handler's 
total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained in the 
milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to Sec. 1124.60 by 
the protein price, the other solids price, and the butterfat price, 
respectively;
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1124.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and
    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1124.60(h); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result 
shall be known as the producer price differential for the month.

[68 FR 7068, Feb. 12, 2003]



Sec. 1124.62  Announcement of producer prices.

    On or before the 14th day after the end of each month, the market 
administrator shall announce publicly the following prices and 
information:
    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The average butterfat, protein, nonfat solids, and other solids 
content of producer milk; and
    (g) The statistical uniform price for milk containing 3.5 percent 
butterfat, computed by combining the Class III price and the producer 
price differential.

(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90), each handler who receives fluid 
milk products at its plant from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant or who receives milk from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as a handler pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.9(c), including the milk of producers who are not members of 
such association and who the market administrator determines have 
authorized the cooperative association to collect payment for their 
milk, shall pay the cooperative for such milk as follows:
    (1) For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products

through (iv) of this section and from that sum deduct any payment made 
pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (d) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1124.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this section, the handler may reduce pro 
rata its payments to producers or to the cooperative association (with 
respect to receipts described in paragraph (b) of this section, 
prorating the underpayment to the volume of milk received from the 
cooperative association in proportion to the total milk received from 
producers by the handler), but not by more than the amount of the 
underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the next scheduled 
payment date after receipt of the balance due from the market 
administrator.
    (e) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot

because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement

    (c) A supply plant from which 50 percent or more of the total 
quantity of milk that is physically received during the month from dairy 
farmers and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c), including milk that is 
diverted as producer milk to other plants, is transferred to pool 
distributing plants. Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant 
to a distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall 
be excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the plant's 
shipping percentage.
    (d) A plant located within the marketing area that is operated by a 
cooperative association if pool plant status under this paragraph is 
requested for such plant by the cooperative association and during the 
month at least 30 percent of the producer milk of members of such 
cooperative association is delivered directly from farms to pool 
distributing plants or is transferred to such plants as a fluid milk 
product (excluding concentrated milk transferred to a distributing plant 
for an agreed-upon use other than Class I) from the cooperative's plant.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and located 
within the marketing area may qualify for pool status as a unit by 
meeting the total and in-area route disposition requirements specified 
in paragraph (a) of this section and the following additional 
requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process only Class I or Class II 
products and must be located in a pricing zone providing the same or a 
lower Class I price than the price applicable at the distributing plant 
included in the unit pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this section; and
    (3) A written request to form a unit, or to add or remove plants 
from a unit, must be filed with the market administrator prior to the 
first day of the month for which it is to be effective.
    (f) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (d) of 
this section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator 
if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to 
encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the requested 
revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is being 
considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to revise 
an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at least one 
day before the effective date.
    (g) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:

regulated under such other Federal order without regard to its route 
disposition in any other Federal order marketing area;
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this 
section which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal 
order and from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants 
regulated under the other Federal order than are made to plants 
regulated under the order in this part, or the plant has automatic 
pooling status under the other Federal order; and
    (7) That portion of a pool plant designated as a nonpool plant that 
is physically separate and operated separately from the pool portion of 
such plant. The designation of a portion of a regulated plant as a 
nonpool plant must be requested in writing by the handler and must be 
approved by the market administrator.
    (h) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1126.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-federally regulated marketing

production, whichever is less, of such dairy farmer has been physically 
received as producer milk at a pool plant and the dairy farmer has 
continuously retained producer status since that time;
    (2) The total quantity of milk diverted during the month by a 
cooperative association shall not exceed 50 percent of the total 
quantity of producer milk that the cooperative association caused to be 
received at pool plants and diverted;
    (3) The operator of a pool plant that is not a cooperative 
association may divert any milk that is not under the control of a 
cooperative association that diverts milk during the month pursuant to 
this paragraph. The total quantity of milk so diverted during the month 
shall not exceed 50 percent of the total quantity of the producer milk 
physically received at such plant (or such unit of plants in the case of 
plants

that pool as a unit pursuant to Sec. 1126.7(e)) and diverted;
    (4) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits prescribed in 
paragraphs (d)(2) and (3) of this section shall not be producer milk. If 
the diverting handler or cooperative association fails to designate the 
dairy farmers' deliveries that will not be producer milk, no milk 
diverted by the handler or cooperative association shall be producer 
milk;
    (5) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted; and
    (6) The delivery requirement in paragraph (d)(1) and the diversion 
percentages in paragraphs (d)(2) and (3) of this section may be 
increased or decreased by the market administrator if there is a finding 
that such revision is necessary to assure orderly marketing and 
efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. Before making such a 
finding, the market administrator shall investigate the need for the 
revision either on the market administrator's own initiative or at the 
request of interested persons if the request is made in writing at least 
15 days prior to the month for which the requested revision is desired 
effective. If the investigation shows that a revision might be 
appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a notice stating that 
the revision is being considered and inviting written data, views, and 
arguments. Any decision to revise the delivery day requirement or any 
diversion percentage must be issued in writing at least one day before 
the effective date.

Sec. 1126.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (j) of this 
section. Unless otherwise specified, the skim milk, butterfat, and the 
combined pounds of skim milk and butterfat referred to in this section 
shall result from the steps

[[Page 168]]

set forth in Sec. 1000.44(a), (b), and (c), respectively, and the nonfat 
components of producer milk in each class shall be based upon the 
proportion of such components in producer skim milk. Receipts of 
nonfluid milk products that are distributed as labeled reconstituted 
milk for which payments are made to the producer-settlement fund of 
another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) shall be excluded 
from pricing under this section.
    (a) Class I value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of skim milk in Class I by the Class I skim 
milk price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class I by the Class I butterfat price.
    (b) Class II value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by 
the Class II nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class II times the Class II butterfat price.
    (c) Class III value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of protein in Class III skim milk by the 
protein price;
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of other solids 
in Class III skim milk by the other solids price; and
    (3) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class III by the butterfat price.
    (d) Class IV value.
    (1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV skim milk by 
the nonfat solids price; and
    (2) Add an amount obtained by multiplying the pounds of butterfat in 
Class IV by the butterfat price.
    (e) Compute an adjustment for the somatic cell content of producer 
milk by multiplying the values reported pursuant to Sec. 1126.30(a)(1) 
and (c)(1) by the percentage of total producer milk allocated to Class 
II, Class III, and Class IV pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c);
    (f) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the skim milk prices and butterfat prices 
applicable to each class.
    (g) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (h) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants.
    (i) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from which an 
equivalent volume was received and the Class III price by the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products 
assigned to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b) and 
the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted from Class I pursuant 
to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), 
excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts of fluid milk 
products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent that an 
equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such plant by 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is classified and 
priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for any other 
payment obligation under any order.
    (j) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid

[[Page 169]]

milk products that are allocated to Class I use pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1126.61  Computation of producer price differential.

    For each month the market administrator shall compute a producer 
price differential per hundredweight. The report of any handler who has 
not made payments required pursuant to Sec. 1126.71 for the preceding 
month shall not be included in the computation of the producer price 
differential, and such handler's report shall not be included in the 
computation for succeeding months until the handler has made full 
payment of outstanding monthly obligations. Subject to the conditions of 
this paragraph, the market administrator shall compute the producer 
price differential in the following manner:
    (a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1126.60 for all handlers required to file reports prescribed in 
Sec. 1126.30;
    (b) Subtract the total of the values obtained by multiplying each 
handler's total pounds of protein, other solids, and butterfat contained 
in the milk for which an obligation was computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1126.60 by the protein price, other solids price, and the butterfat 
price, respectively, and the total value of the somatic cell adjustment 
pursuant to Sec. 1126.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);
    (c) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1126.75;
    (d) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (e) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (1) The total hundredweight of producer milk; and
    (2) The total hundredweight for which a value is computed pursuant 
to Sec. 1126.60(i); and
    (f) Subtract not less than 4 cents nor more than 5 cents from the 
price computed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. The result 
shall be known as the producer price differential for the month.

    (a) The producer price differential;
    (b) The protein price;
    (c) The nonfat solids price;
    (d) The other solids price;
    (e) The butterfat price;
    (f) The somatic cell adjustment rate;

Sec. 1126.72  Payments from the producer-settlement fund.

    No later than the 17th day after the end of each month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), the market administrator shall pay to each 
handler the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1126.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1126.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1126.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Each handler shall pay each producer for producer milk for which 
payment is not made to a cooperative association pursuant to paragraph 
(b) of this section, as follows:
    (1) Partial payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the 23rd day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by the producer on or before the 26th day of the month 
(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received during the first 
15 days of the month at not less than the lowest announced class price 
for the preceding month, less proper deductions authorized in writing by 
the producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, payment shall 
be made so that it is received by each producer no later than the 18th 
day after the end of the month (except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) in 
an amount computed as follows:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received times the 
producer price differential for the month as adjusted pursuant to 
Sec. 1126.75;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of butterfat received times the butterfat 
price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the pounds of protein received times the protein 
price for the month;
    (iv) Multiply the pounds of other solids received times the other 
solids price for the month;
    (v) Multiply the hundredweight of milk received times the somatic 
cell adjustment for the month;
    (vi) Add the amounts computed in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (v) of 
this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;
    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer subject to approval by the market administrator; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) On or before the day prior to the dates specified for partial 
and final payments pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), each handler shall pay a cooperative 
association for milk received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received during the first 
15 days of the month from a cooperative association in any capacity, 
except as the operator of a pool plant, the payment shall be equal to 
the hundredweight of milk received multiplied by the lowest announced 
class price for the preceding month.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk milk/skimmed milk products 
received during the first 15

[[Page 171]]

days of the month from a cooperative association in its capacity as the 
operator of a pool plant, the partial payment shall be at the pool plant 
operator's estimated use value of the milk using the most recent class 
prices available at the receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. Following the classification of bulk fluid milk 
products and bulk fluid cream products received during the month from a 
cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool plant, 
the final payment for such receipts shall be determined as follows:
    (i) The hundredweight of Class I skim milk times the Class I skim 
milk price for the month plus the pounds of Class I butterfat times the 
Class I butterfat price for the month. The Class I prices to be used 
shall be the prices effective at the location of the receiving plant;
    (ii) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class II skim milk by the Class 
II nonfat solids price;
    (iii) The pounds of butterfat in Class II times the Class II 
butterfat price;
    (iv) The pounds of nonfat solids in Class IV times the nonfat solids 
price;
    (v) The pounds of butterfat in Class III and Class IV milk times the 
butterfat price;
    (vi) The pounds of protein in Class III milk times the protein 
price;
    (vii) The pounds of other solids in Class III milk times the other 
solids price;
    (viii) The hundredweight of Class II, Class III, and Class IV milk 
times the somatic cell adjustment; and
    (ix) Add together the amounts computed in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) 
through (viii) of this section and from that sum deduct any payments 
made pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1126.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce pro rata 
its payments to producers or to cooperative associations pursuant to 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, but by not more than the amount 
of the underpayment. The payments shall be completed on the next 
scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from the market 
administrator.
    (d) If a handler claims that a required payment to a producer cannot 
be made because the producer is deceased or cannot be located, or 
because the cooperative association or its lawful successor or assignee 
is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund, and in the event that the handler subsequently locates 
and pays the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the 
handler no longer exists and a lawful claim is later established, the 
market administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or to the lawful claimant as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
pool plant operator shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose 
milk was received from a cooperative association handler described in 
Sec. 1000.9(a) or (c), a supporting statement in a form that may be 
retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The name, address, Grade A identifier assigned by a duly 
constituted regulatory agency, and the payroll number of the producer;
    (2) The month and dates that milk was received from the producer, 
including the daily and total pounds of milk received;
    (3) The total pounds of butterfat, protein, and other solids 
contained in the producer's milk;
    (4) The somatic cell count of the producer's milk;

[[Page 172]]

    (5) The minimum rate or rates at which payment to the producer is 
required pursuant to the order in this part;
    (6) The rate used in making payment if the rate is other than the 
applicable minimum rate;
    (7) The amount, or rate per hundredweight, or rate per pound of 
component, and the nature of each deduction claimed by the handler; and
    (8) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

Sec. 1126.75  Plant location adjustments for producer milk and nonpool
milk.

    For purposes of making payments for producer milk and nonpool milk, 
a plant location adjustment shall be determined by subtracting the Class 
I price specified in Sec. 1126.51 from the Class I price at the plant's 
location. The difference, plus or minus as the case may be, shall be 
used to adjust the payments required pursuant to Secs. 1126.73 and

plant pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Sec. ____. 7(b) of any other 
Federal milk order, from which during the month 25 percent or more of 
the total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at the 
plant (excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by 
agreement for other than Class I use) are disposed of as route 
disposition or are transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk 
products to other distributing plants. At least 25 percent of such route 
disposition and transfers must be to outlets in the marketing area.
    (b) Any distributing plant located in the marketing area which 
during the month processed at least 25 percent of the total quantity of 
fluid milk products physically received at the plant (excluding 
concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement for other 
than Class I use) into ultra-pasteurized or aseptically-processed fluid 
milk products.
    (c) A supply plant from which 50 percent or more of the total 
quantity of milk that is physically received at such plant from dairy 
farmers and handlers described in Sec. 1000.9(c), including milk that is 
diverted as producer milk to other plants, is transferred to pool 
distributing plants. Concentrated milk transferred from the supply plant 
to a distributing plant for an agreed-upon use other than Class I shall 
be excluded from the supply plant's shipments in computing the plant's 
shipping percentage.

[[Page 174]]

    (d) A plant located within the marketing area and operated by a 
cooperative association if, during the month, or the immediately 
preceding 12-month period ending with the current month, 35 percent or 
more of the producer milk of members of the association (and any 
producer milk of nonmembers and members of another cooperative 
association which may be marketed by the cooperative association) is 
physically received in the form of bulk fluid milk products (excluding 
concentrated milk transferred to a distributing plant for an agreed-upon 
use other that Class I) at plants specified in paragraph (a), (b), or 
(h) of this section either directly from farms or by transfer from 
supply plants operated by the cooperative association and from plants of 
the cooperative association for which pool plant status has been 
requested under this paragraph subject to the following conditions:
    (1) The plant does not qualify as a pool plant under paragraph (a), 
(b), (c), or (h) of this section or under comparable provisions of 
another Federal order; and
    (2) The plant is approved by a duly constituted regulatory agency 
for the handling of milk approved for fluid consumption in the marketing 
area.
    (e) Two or more plants operated by the same handler and located in 
the marketing area may qualify for pool plant status as a unit by 
together meeting the requirements specified in paragraph (a) of this 
section and subject to all of the following additional requirements:
    (1) At least one of the plants in the unit must qualify as a pool 
plant pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) Other plants in the unit must process Class I or Class II 
products, using 50 percent or more of the total Grade A fluid milk 
products received in bulk form at such plant or diverted therefrom by 
the plant operator in Class I or Class II products, and must be located 
in a pricing zone providing the same or lower Class I price than the 
price applicable at the distributing plant included in the unit pursuant 
to paragraph (e)(1) of this section; and
    (3) A written request to form a unit must be filed by the handler 
with the market administrator prior to the first day of the month for 
which such status is desired to be effective. The unit shall continue 
from month to month thereafter without further notification. The handler 
shall notify the market administrator in writing prior to the first day 
of any month for which termination or any change of the unit is desired.
    (f) The applicable shipping percentages of paragraphs (c) and (d) of 
this section may be increased or decreased by the market administrator 
if the market administrator finds that such adjustment is necessary to 
encourage needed shipments or to prevent uneconomic shipments. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for adjustment either on the market administrator's own initiative 
or at the request of interested parties if the request is made in 
writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the requested 
revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that an 
adjustment of the shipping percentages might be appropriate, the market 
administrator shall issue a notice stating that an adjustment is being 
considered and invite data, views and arguments. Any decision to revise 
an applicable shipping percentage must be issued in writing at least one 
day before the effective date.
    (g) The term pool plant shall not apply to the following plants:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined under any Federal order;
    (2) An exempt plant as defined in Sec. 1000.8(e);
    (3) A plant located within the marketing area and qualified pursuant 
to paragraph (a) of this section which meets the pooling requirements of 
another Federal order, and from which more than 50 percent of its route 
disposition has been in the other Federal order marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (4) A plant located outside any Federal order marketing area and 
qualified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the 
pooling requirements of another Federal order and has had greater route 
disposition in such other Federal order's marketing area for 3 
consecutive months;
    (5) A plant located in another Federal order marketing area and 
qualified

[[Page 175]]

pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section that meets the pooling 
requirements of such other Federal order and does not have a majority of 
its route distribution in this marketing area for 3 consecutive months 
or if the plant is required to be regulated under such other Federal 
order without regard to its route disposition in any other Federal order 
marketing area;
    (6) A plant qualified pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section 
which also meets the pooling requirements of another Federal order and 
from which greater qualifying shipments are made to plants regulated 
under the other Federal order than are made to plants regulated under 
the order in this part, or the plant has automatic pooling status under 
the other Federal order; and
    (7) That portion of a regulated plant designated as a nonpool plant 
that is physically separate and operated separately from the pool 
portion of such plant. The designation of a portion of a regulated plant 
as a nonpool plant must be requested in advance and in writing by the 
handler and must be approved by the market administrator.
    (h) Any distributing plant, located within the marketing area as 
described on May 1, 2006, in Sec. 1131.2;
    (1) From which there is route disposition and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products in any non-Federally regulated marketing 
area(s) located within one or more States that require handlers to pay 
minimum prices for raw milk provided that 25 percent or more of the 
total quantity of fluid milk products physically received at such plant 
(excluding concentrated milk received from another plant by agreement 
for other than Class I use) is disposed of as route disposition and/or 
is transferred in the form of packaged fluid milk products to other 
plants. At least 25 percent of such route disposition and/or transfers, 
in aggregate, are in any non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) 
located within one or more States that require handlers to pay minimum 
prices for raw milk. Subject to the following exclusions:
    (i) The plant is described in Sec. 1131.7(a), (b), or (e);
    (ii) The plant is subject to the pricing provisions of a State-
operated milk pricing plan which provides for the payment of minimum 
class prices for raw milk;

Sec. 1131.10  Producer-handler.

    Producer-handler means a person who operates a dairy farm and a 
distributing plant from which there is route disposition in the 
marketing area, from which total route disposition and packaged sales of 
fluid milk products to other plants during the month does not exceed 3 
million pounds, and who the market administrator has designated a 
producer-handler after determining that all of the requirements of this 
section have been met.
    (a) Requirements for designation. Designation of any person as a 
producer-handler by the market administrator shall be contingent upon 
meeting the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of 
this section. Following the cancellation of a previous producer-handler 
designation, a person seeking to have their producer-handler designation 
reinstated must demonstrate that these conditions have been met for the 
preceding month.
    (1) The care and management of the dairy animals and the other 
resources and facilities designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
necessary to produce all Class I milk handled (excluding receipts from 
handlers fully regulated under any Federal order) are under the complete 
and exclusive control, ownership and management of the producer-handler 
and are operated as the producer-handler's own enterprise and its own 
risk.
    (2) The plant operation designated in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section at

[[Page 176]]

which the producer-handler processes and packages, and from which it 
distributes, its own milk production is under the complete and exclusive 
control, ownership and management of the producer-handler and is 
operated as the producer-handler's own enterprise and at its sole risk.
    (3) The producer-handler neither receives at its designated milk 
production resources and facilities nor receives, handles, processes, or 
distributes at or through any of its designated milk handling, 
processing, or distributing resources and facilities other source milk 
products for reconstitution into fluid milk products or fluid milk 
products derived from any source other than:
    (i) Its designated milk production resources and facilities (own 
farm production);
    (ii) Pool handlers and plants regulated under any Federal order 
within the limitation specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section; or
    (iii) Nonfat milk solids which are used to fortify fluid milk 
products.
    (4) The producer-handler is neither directly nor indirectly 
associated with the business control or management of, nor has a 
financial interest in, another handler's operation; nor is any other 
handler so associated with the producer-handler's operation.
    (5) No milk produced by the herd(s) or on the farm(s) that supply 
milk to the producer-handler's plant operation is:
    (i) Subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide 
equalization pool under a milk classification and pricing program under 
the authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns, or
    (ii) Marketed in any part as Class I milk to the non-pool 
distributing plant of any other handler.
    (6) The producer-handler does not distribute fluid milk products to 
a wholesale customer who is served by a plant described in 
Sec. 1131.7(a), (b), or (e), or a handler described in Sec. 1000.8(c) 
that supplied the same product in the same-sized package with a similar 
label to a wholesale customer during the month.
    (b) Designation of resources and facilities. Designation of a person 
as a producer-handler shall include the determination of what shall 
constitute milk production, handling, processing, and distribution 
resources and facilities, all of which shall be considered an integrated 
operation, under the sole and exclusive ownership of the producer-
handler.
    (1) Milk production resources and facilities shall include all 
resources and facilities (milking herd(s), buildings housing such 
herd(s), and the land on which such buildings are located) used for the 
production of milk which are solely owned, operated, and which the 
producer-handler has designated as a source of milk supply for the 
producer-handler's plant operation. However, for purposes of this 
paragraph, any such milk production resources and facilities which do 
not constitute an actual or potential source of milk supply for the 
producer-handler's operation shall not be considered a part of the 
producer-handler's milk production resources and facilities.
    (2) Milk handling, processing, and distribution resources and 
facilities shall include all resources and facilities (including store 
outlets) used for handling, processing, and distributing fluid milk 
products which are solely owned by, and directly operated or controlled 
by the producer-handler or in which the producer-handler in any way has 
an interest, including any contractual arrangement, or over which the 
producer-handler directly or indirectly exercises any degree of 
management control.
    (3) All designations shall remain in effect until canceled pursuant 
to paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Cancellation. The designation as a producer-handler shall be 
canceled upon determination by the market administrator that any of the 
requirements of paragraph (a)(1) through (5) of this section are not 
continuing to be met, or under any of the conditions described in 
paragraphs (c)(1), (2) or (3) of this section. Cancellation of a 
producer-handler's status pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective 
on the first day of the month following the month in which the 
requirements were not met or the conditions for cancellation occurred.
    (1) Milk from the milk production resources and facilities of the 
producer-

[[Page 177]]

handler, designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, is delivered in 
the name of another person as producer milk to another handler.
    (2) The producer-handler handles fluid milk products derived from 
sources other than the milk production facilities and resources 
designated in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, except that it may 
receive at its plant, or acquire for route disposition, fluid milk 
products from fully regulated plants and handlers under any Federal 
order if such receipts do not exceed 150,000 pounds monthly. This 
limitation shall not apply if the producer-handler's own-farm production 
is less than 150,000 pounds during the month.
    (3) Milk from the milk production resources and facilities of the 
producer-handler is subject to inclusion and participation in a 
marketwide equalization pool under a milk classification and pricing 
plan operating under the authority of a State government.
    (d) Public announcement. The market administrator shall publicly 
announce:
    (1) The name, plant location(s), and farm location(s) of persons 
designated as producer-handlers;
    (2) The names of those persons whose designations have been 
cancelled; and
    (3) The effective dates of producer-handler status or loss of 
producer-handler status for each. Such announcements shall be 
controlling with respect to the accounting at plants of other handlers 
for fluid milk products received from any producer-handler.
    (e) Burden of establishing and maintaining producer-handler status. 
The burden rests upon the handler who is designated as a producer-
handler to establish through records required pursuant to Sec. 1000.27 
that the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of this section have 
been and are continuing to be met, and that the conditions set forth in 
paragraph (c) of this section for cancellation of the designation do not 
exist.
    (f) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec. 1131.2 shall be subject to payments into the Order 
1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 administrative fund 
provided such dispositions are less than three million pounds in the 
current month and such producer-handler had total Class I route 
dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products from own 
farm production of three million pounds or more the previous month. If 
the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of 
packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area described in 
Sec. 1131.2 of three million pounds or more during the current month, 
such producer-handler shall be subject to the provisions described in 
Sec. 1131.7 or Sec. 1000.76(a).

Sec. 1131.11  [Reserved]



Sec. 1131.12  Producer.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, producer 
means any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted 
regulatory agency for fluid consumption as Grade A milk and whose milk 
(or components of milk) is:
    (1) Received at a pool plant directly from the producer or diverted 
by the plant operator in accordance with Sec. 1131.13; or
    (2) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c).
    (b) Producer shall not include:
    (1) A producer-handler as defined in any Federal order;
    (2) A dairy farmer whose milk is received at an exempt plant, 
excluding producer milk diverted to the exempt plant pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.13(d);
    (3) A dairy farmer whose milk is received by diversion at a pool 
plant from a handler regulated under another Federal order if the other 
Federal order designates the dairy farmer as a producer under that order 
and that milk is allocated by request to a utilization other than Class 
I;
    (4) A dairy farmer whose milk is reported as diverted to a plant 
fully regulated under another Federal order with respect to that portion 
of the milk so diverted that is assigned to Class I under the provisions 
of such other order; and

[[Page 178]]

    (5) A dairy farmer whose milk is received at a pool plant if during 
the month milk from the same farm is received at a nonpool plant (except 
a nonpool plant that has no utilization of milk products in any class 
other than Class III or Class IV) other than as producer milk under the 
order in this part or some other Federal order. Such a dairy farmer 
shall be known as a dairy farmer for other markets.



Sec. 1131.13  Producer milk.

    Producer milk means the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of 
components of skim milk) and butterfat in milk of a producer that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;
    (b) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of 
the quantity delivered to pool plants;
    (c) Diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant. Milk so 
diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to which diverted; 
or
    (d) Diverted by the operator of a pool plant or a cooperative 
association described in Sec. 1000.9(c) to a nonpool plant, subject to 
the following conditions:
    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion 
unless at least one day's production of such dairy farmer is physically 
received at a pool plant during the month;
    (2) The total quantity of milk diverted by a handler in any month 
shall not exceed 50 percent of the total producer milk caused by the 
handler to be received at pool plants and diverted;
    (3) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted;
    (4) Any milk diverted in excess of the limits prescribed in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section shall not be producer milk. If the 
diverting handler or cooperative association fails to designate the 
dairy farmers' deliveries that are not to be producer milk, no milk 
diverted by the handler or cooperative association during the month to a 
nonpool plant shall be producer milk. In the event some of the milk of 
any producer is determined not to be producer milk pursuant to this 
paragraph, other milk delivered by such producer as producer milk during 
the month will not be subject to Sec. 1131.12(b)(5); and
    (5) The delivery day requirement in paragraph (d)(1) of this section 
and diversion percentage in paragraph (d)(2) of this section may be 
increased or decreased by the market administrator if the market 
administrator finds that such revision is necessary to assure orderly 
marketing and efficient handling of milk in the marketing area. Before 
making such a finding, the market administrator shall investigate the 
need for the revision either on the market administrator's own 
initiative or at the request of interested persons if the request is 
made in writing at least 15 days prior to the month for which the 
requested revision is desired effective. If the investigation shows that 
a revision might be appropriate, the market administrator shall issue a 
notice stating that the revision is being considered and inviting 
written data, views, and arguments. Any decision to revise the delivery 
day requirement or the diversion percentage must be issued in writing at 
least one day before the effective date.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to a marketwide equalization pool under a milk classification 
and pricing plan under the authority of a State government.

Sec. 1131.60  Handler's value of milk.

    For the purpose of computing a handler's obligation for producer 
milk, the market administrator shall determine for each month the value 
of milk of each handler with respect to each of the handler's pool 
plants and of each handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) with respect to 
milk that was not received at a pool plant by adding the amounts 
computed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section and subtracting 
from that total amount the value computed in paragraph (f) of this 
section. Receipts of nonfluid milk products that are distributed as 
labeled reconstituted milk for which payments are made to the producer-
settlement fund of another Federal order under Sec. 1000.76(a)(4) or (d) 
shall be excluded from pricing under this section.
    (a) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat in producer milk 
that were classified in each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(c) by the 
applicable skim milk and butterfat prices, and add the resulting 
amounts;
    (b) Multiply the pounds of skim milk and butterfat overage assigned 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(11) and the corresponding 
steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) by the respective skim milk and butterfat 
prices applicable at the location of the pool plant;
    (c) Multiply the difference between the current month's Class I, II, 
or III price, as the case may be, and the Class IV price for the 
preceding month by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I, II, or III, respectively, pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.44(a)(7) and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b);
    (d) Multiply the difference between the Class I price applicable at 
the location of the pool plant and the Class IV price by the 
hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat assigned to Class I pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.43(d) and the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat 
subtracted from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) through (vi) 
and the corresponding step of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding receipts of 
bulk fluid cream products from plants regulated under other Federal 
orders and bulk concentrated fluid milk products from pool plants, 
plants regulated under other Federal orders, and unregulated supply 
plants;
    (e) Multiply the Class I skim milk and Class I butterfat prices 
applicable at the location of the nearest unregulated supply plants from 
which an equivalent volume was received by the pounds of skim milk and 
butterfat in receipts of concentrated fluid milk products assigned to 
Class I pursuant

[[Page 181]]

to Sec. 1000.43(d) and Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b) and the pounds of skim milk and butterfat subtracted 
from Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) and the corresponding step 
of Sec. 1000.44(b), excluding such skim milk and butterfat in receipts 
of fluid milk products from an unregulated supply plant to the extent 
that an equivalent amount of skim milk or butterfat disposed of to such 
plant by handlers fully regulated under any Federal milk order is 
classified and priced as Class I milk and is not used as an offset for 
any other payment obligation under any order.
    (f) For reconstituted milk made from receipts of nonfluid milk 
products, multiply $1.00 (but not more than the difference between the 
Class I price applicable at the location of the pool plant and the Class 
IV price) by the hundredweight of skim milk and butterfat contained in 
receipts of nonfluid milk products that are allocated to Class I use 
pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d).

Sec. 1131.61  Computation of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day of each month, the market administrator 
shall compute a uniform butterfat price, a uniform skim milk price, and 
a uniform price for producer milk receipts reported for the prior month. 
The report of any handler who has not made payments required pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.71 for the preceding month shall not be included in the 
computation of these prices, and such handler's report shall not be 
included in the computation for succeeding months until the handler has 
made full payment of outstanding monthly obligations.
    (a) Uniform butterfat price. The uniform butterfat price per pound, 
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth cent, shall be computed by:
    (1) Multiplying the pounds of butterfat in producer milk allocated 
to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44(b) by the respective class 
butterfat prices;
    (2) Adding the butterfat value calculated in Sec. 1131.60(e) for 
other source milk allocated to Class I pursuant to Sec. 1000.43(d) and 
the steps of Sec. 1000.44(b) that correspond to Sec. 1000.44(a)(3)(i) 
and Sec. 1000.44(a)(8) by the Class I price; and
    (3) Dividing the sum of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the sum of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source 
milk used to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section.
    (b) Uniform skim milk price. The uniform skim milk price per 
hundredweight, rounded to the nearest cent, shall be computed as 
follows:
    (1) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.60 for all handlers;
    (2) Add an amount equal to the minus location adjustments and 
subtract an amount equal to the plus location adjustments computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1131.75;
    (3) Add an amount equal to not less than one-half of the unobligated 
balance in the producer-settlement fund;
    (4) Subtract the value of the total pounds of butterfat for all 
handlers. The butterfat value shall be computed by multiplying the sum 
of the pounds of butterfat in producer milk and other source milk used 
to calculate the values in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section 
by the butterfat price computed in paragraph (a) of this section;
    (5) Divide the resulting amount by the sum of the following for all 
handlers included in these computations:
    (i) The total skim pounds of producer milk; and
    (ii) The total skim pounds for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.60(e); and
    (6) Subtract not less than 4 cents and not more than 5 cents.
    (c) Uniform price. The uniform price per hundredweight, rounded to 
the nearest cent, shall be the sum of the following:
    (1) Multiply the uniform butterfat price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section times 3.5 pounds of butterfat; and
    (2) Multiply the uniform skim milk price for the month pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section times .965.

Sec. 1131.62  Announcement of uniform prices.

    On or before the 11th day after the end of the month, the market 
administrator shall announce the uniform prices for the month computed 
pursuant to Sec. 1131.61.

                            Payments for Milk



Sec. 1131.70  Producer-settlement fund.

    See Sec. 1000.70.



Sec. 1131.71  Payments to the producer-settlement fund.

    Each handler shall make payment to the producer-settlement fund in a 
manner that provides receipt of the funds by the market administrator no 
later than the 13th day after the end of the month (except as provided 
in Sec. 1000.90). Payments due the market administrator shall be deemed 
not to have been made until the money owed has been received at the 
market administrator's office, or deposited into the market 
administrator's bank account. Payment shall be the amount, if any, by 
which the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this section exceeds the 
amount specified in paragraph (b) of this section:
    (a) The total value of milk to the handler for the month as 
determined pursuant to Sec. 1131.60.
    (b) The sum of:
    (1) The value at the uniform prices for skim milk and butterfat, 
adjusted for plant location, of the handler's receipts of producer milk; 
and
    (2) The value at the uniform price as adjusted pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.75 applicable at the location of the plant from which received 
of other source milk for which a value is computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.60(e).



Sec. 1131.72  Payments from the producer-settlement fund.

    No later than the 14th day after the end of each month (except as 
provided in Sec. 1000.90), the market administrator shall pay to each 
handler the amount, if any, by which the amount computed pursuant to 
Sec. 1131.71(b) exceeds the amount computed pursuant to Sec. 1131.71(a). 
If, at such time, the balance in the producer-settlement fund is 
insufficient to make all payments pursuant to this section, the market 
administrator shall reduce uniformly such payments and shall complete 
the payments as soon as the funds are available.



Sec. 1131.73  Payments to producers and to cooperative associations.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, 
each handler shall make payment to each producer from whom milk is 
received during the month as follows:
    (1) Partial Payment. For each producer who has not discontinued 
shipments as of the 25th day of the month, payment shall be made so that 
it is received by the producer on or before the 27th day of each month 
(except as provided in Sec. 1000.90) for milk received from such 
producer during the first 15 days of the month at not less than 1.3 
times the lowest class price for the preceding month less proper 
deductions authorized in writing by the producer.
    (2) Final payment. For milk received during the month, a payment 
computed as follows shall be made so that it is received by each 
producer one day after the payment date required in Sec. 1131.72:
    (i) Multiply the hundredweight of producer skim milk received times 
the uniform skim milk price for the month;
    (ii) Multiply the pounds of producer butterfat received times the 
uniform butterfat price for the month;
    (iii) Multiply the hundredweight of producer milk received times the 
plant location adjustment pursuant to Sec. 1131.75; and
    (iv) Add the amounts computed in paragraph (a)(2)(i), (ii), and 
(iii) of this section, and from that sum:
    (A) Subtract the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section;
    (B) Subtract the deduction for marketing services pursuant to 
Sec. 1000.86;
    (C) Add or subtract for errors made in previous payments to the 
producer, subject to approval by the market administrator; and
    (D) Subtract proper deductions authorized in writing by the 
producer.
    (b) Two days prior to the dates on which partial and final payments 
are due pursuant to paragraph (a) of this

[[Page 183]]

section, each handler shall pay a cooperative association for milk 
received as follows:
    (1) Partial payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk (including the 
milk of producers who are not members of such association and who the 
market administrator determines have authorized the cooperative 
association to collect payment for their milk) received during the first 
15 days of the month from a cooperative association in any capacity 
except as the operator of a pool plant, the payment shall be an amount 
not less than 1.3 times the lowest class price for the preceding month 
multiplied by the hundredweight of milk.
    (2) Partial payment to a cooperative association for milk 
transferred from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk 
fluid cream products received during the first 15 days of the month from 
a cooperative association in its capacity as the operator of a pool 
plant, the partial payment shall be at the pool plant operator's 
estimated use value of the milk using the most recent class prices 
available for skim milk and butterfat at the receiving plant's location.
    (3) Final payment to a cooperative association for milk transferred 
from its pool plant. For bulk fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream 
products received during the month from a cooperative association in its 
capacity as the operator of a pool plant, the final payment shall be the 
classified value of such milk as determined by multiplying the pounds of 
skim milk and butterfat assigned to each class pursuant to Sec. 1000.44 
by the class prices for the month at the receiving plant's location, and 
subtracting from this sum the partial payment made pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section.
    (4) Final payment to a cooperative association for bulk milk 
received directly from producers' farms. For bulk milk received from a 
cooperative association during the month, including the milk of 
producers who are not members of such association and who the market 
administrator determines have authorized the cooperative association to 
collect payment for their milk, the final payment for such milk shall be 
an amount equal to the sum of the individual payments otherwise payable 
for such milk pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (c) If a handler has not received full payment from the market 
administrator pursuant to Sec. 1131.72 by the payment date specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the handler may reduce pro rata 
his payments pursuant to such paragraphs, but by not more than the 
amount of such underpayment. Payments to producers shall be completed on 
the next scheduled payment date after receipt of the balance due from

is no longer in existence, the payment shall be made to the producer-
settlement fund. In the event the handler subsequently locates and pays 
the producer or a lawful claimant, or in the event that the handler no

administrator shall make the required payment from the producer-
settlement fund to the handler or the lawful claimant, as the case may 
be.
    (e) In making payments to producers pursuant to this section, each 
pool plant operator shall furnish each producer, except a producer whose 
milk was received from a cooperative association described in

be retained by the recipient which shall show:
    (1) The month, and identity of the producer;

content of producer milk;

applicable minimum rate;
    (5) The amount, rate per hundredweight, and nature of each deduction 
claimed by the handler; and
    (6) The net amount of payment to the producer or cooperative 
association.

solicit nominations from such producers through general farmer 
organizations or by other means.
    (b) After the appointment of the initial Board, the Secretary shall 
announce at least 120 days in advance when a Board member's term is 
expiring and shall solicit nominations for that position in the manner 
described in paragraph (a) of this section. Nominations for such

    (8) Money remitted to the Board shall be in the form of a negotiable 
instrument made payable to ``National Dairy Promotion and Research 
Board.'' Remittances and reports specified in Sec. 1150.171(a) shall be 
mailed to the location designated by the Secretary or the Board.
    (b) Importer assessments. (1) Each importer of dairy products 
identified in the following table, except for as provided for in 
Sec. 1150.157, is responsible for paying an assessment of 7.5 cents per

received to the Board.
    (5) If an importer elects to have funds remitted to a qualified 
program(s), the importer shall inform the Secretary of such designation 
by sending a letter to an address provided by the Secretary. Importer 
remittances for qualified program(s) shall not exceed 2.5 cents per 
hundredweight of milk, or equivalent thereof, of the 7.5 cents per 
hundredweight of milk, or equivalent thereof, paid by the importer 
pursuant to Sec. 1150.152(b)(1). The Secretary shall compute the funds 
due for each qualified program designated by importers and direct the 
Board to forward such funds to each qualified program.

until such appointment.
    (8) The collection of assessments pursuant to Sec. 1150.152(a) and

manner be used for the purpose of influencing governmental policy or 
action, except to recommend to the Secretary amendments to this subpart.



Sec. 1150.155  Adjustment of accounts.

    (a) Whenever the Board or the Department determines through an audit 
of a person's reports, records, books or accounts or through some other 
means that additional money is due the Board or that money is due such 
person from the Board in accordance with 1150.152(a), such person shall

assessment has been collected under Sec. 1150.152(b) who believes that 
such assessment or any portion of such assessment was made on milk 
solids of U.S. origin or milk solids other than cow's milk may apply to

remaining amount due, which shall include any unpaid charges previously 
made pursuant to this section, shall be increased at the same rate on 
the corresponding day of each month thereafter until paid.
    (1) For the purpose of this section, any assessment pursuant to 
Sec. 1150.152(a) that was determined at a date later than prescribed by 
this subpart because of a person's failure to submit a report to the 
Board when due shall be considered to have been payable by the date

[[Page 198]]

it would have been due if the report had been filed when due. The 
timeliness of a payment to the Board shall be based on the applicable 
postmark date or the date actually received by the Board, whichever is 
earlier.
    (2) For the purpose of this section, any assessment not collected by 
CBP at the time entry summary documents are filed by the importer is 
considered to be past due. If CBP does not collect an assessment from an 
importer, the importer shall be responsible for paying the assessment 
and any late charges to the Secretary in the form of a negotiable 
instrument made payable to ``USDA.'' The payment shall be mailed to a 
location designated by the Secretary or sent in an electronic form 
approved by the Secretary.
    (b) Penalties. Any person who willfully violates any provision of 
this subpart shall be assessed a civil penalty by the Secretary of not 
more than the amount specified in Sec. 3.91(b)(1)(xx) of this title for 
each such violation and, in the case of a willful failure to pay, 
collect, or remit the assessment as required by this subpart, in 
addition to the amount due, a penalty equal to the amount of the 
assessment on the quantity of milk as to which the failure applies. The 
amount of any such penalty shall accrue to the United States and may be 
recovered in a civil suit brought by the United States. The remedies 
provided in this section shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, 
other remedies that may be available by law or in equity.

assessments under this part, provided that:
    (1) Only agricultural products certified as ``organic'' or ``100 
percent organic'' (as defined in the NOP) are eligible for exemption;
    (2) The exemption shall apply to all certified ``organic'' or ``100 
percent organic'' (as defined in the NOP) products of the producer 
regardless of whether the agricultural commodity subject to the 
exemption is produced by a person that also produces conventional or 
nonorganic agricultural products of the same agricultural commodity as 
that for which the exemption is claimed;
    (3) The producer maintains a valid certificate of organic operation 
as issued under the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6501-
6522) (OFPA) and the NOP regulations issued under OFPA (7 CFR part 205); 
and
    (4) Any producer so exempted shall continue to be obligated to pay 
assessments under this part that are associated with any agricultural 
products that do not qualify for an exemption under this section.
    (b) To apply for exemption under this section, a producer subject to 
assessments pursuant to Sec. 1150.152(a)(1) and (2) shall submit a 
request to the Board on an Organic Exemption Request Form (Form AMS-15) 
at any time during the year initially, and annually thereafter on or

information required of producers in paragraph (c) of this section. If 
the importer complies with the requirements of this section, the Board 
will grant the exemption and issue a Certificate of Exemption to the 
importer. The Board will also issue the importer an alphanumeric number 
valid for 1 year from the date of issue. This alphanumeric number should

not exempt under Sec. 1160.108 or Sec. 1160.215, shall also pay the 
assessment under this subpart. The Secretary shall have the authority to 
receive assessments on behalf of the Board.
    (2) The Secretary shall announce the establishment of the assessment 
each month in the Class I price announcement in each milk marketing area 
by adding it to the Class I price for the following month. In the event 
the assessment is suspended for a given month, the Secretary shall 
inform all fluid milk processors of the suspension in the Class I price 
announcement for that month. The Secretary shall also inform fluid milk 
processors marketing fluid milk in areas not subject to milk marketing 
orders administered by the Secretary of the establishment or suspension 
of the assessment.
    (3) Each processor responsible for remitting an assessment shall 
remit it to the Board not later than the last day of the month following 
the month that the assessed milk was marketed.
    (b) Such assessments shall not:
    (1) Reduce the prices paid under the Federal milk marketing orders

608c), reenacted with amendments by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement 
Act of 1937;
    (2) Otherwise be deducted from the amounts that handlers must pay to 
producers for fluid milk products sold to a processor; or
    (3) Otherwise be deducted from the price of milk paid to a producer 
by a handler, as determined by the Secretary.
    (c) Money remitted to the Board or the Board's designated agent 
shall be in the form of a negotiable instrument made payable to the 
Board or its agent, as the case may be. Processors must mail remittances 
and reports specified in Secs. 1160.108, 1160.211(a)(1), 1160.213,

Sec. 1160.212  Influencing governmental action.

    No funds collected by the Board under this subpart shall in any 
manner be used for the purpose of influencing governmental policy or 
action, except to recommend to the Secretary amendments to this subpart.



Sec. 1160.213  Adjustment of accounts.

    Whenever the Board or the Secretary determines through an audit of a 
processor's reports, records, books or accounts or through some other 
means that additional money is due the Board or to such processor from 
the Board, the Board shall notify that person of the amount due or 
overpaid. If the processor owes money to the Board, it shall remit that 
amount by the next date for remitting assessments as provided in 
Sec. 1160.211. For the first two erroneous reports submitted by a 
processor in the preceding 12-month period, late-payment charges 
assessed pursuant to Sec. 1160.214 shall not begin to accrue until the 
day following such date. For all additional erroneous reports submitted 
by a processor during the 12-month period, late-payment charges shall 
accrue from the date the payment was due. If the processor has overpaid, 
that amount shall be credited to its account and applied against amounts 
due in succeeding months.

[73 FR 29390, May 21, 2008]



Sec. 1160.214  Charges and penalties.

    (a) Late-payment charge. Any unpaid assessments shall be increased 
1.5 percent each month beginning with the day following the date such 
assessments were due. Any remaining amount due, which shall include any 
unpaid charges previously made pursuant to this section, shall be 
increased at the same rate on the corresponding day of each month 
thereafter until paid. For the purpose of this section, any assessment 
determined at a date later than prescribed by this subpart because of 
the failure of a processor to

[[Page 211]]

submit a report to the Board when due shall be considered to have been 
payable by the date it would have been due if the report had been filed 
when due. The receipt of a payment by the Board will be based on the 
earlier of the postmark date or the actual date of receipt.
    (b) Penalties. The Secretary may assess any person who violates any 
provision of this subpart a civil penalty of not less than nor more than 
the minimum and maximum amounts specified in Sec. 3.91(b)(1)(xxxv) of 
this title for each such violation. In the case of a willful failure to 
pay an assessment as required by this subpart, in addition to the amount 
due, the Secretary may assess an additional penalty of not less than nor 
more than the minimum and maximum amounts specified in 
Sec. 3.91(b)(1)(xxxv) of this title for each such violation. The amount 
of any such penalty shall accrue to the United States, which may recover 
such amount in a civil suit. The remedies provided in this section are 
in addition to, and not exclusive of, other remedies that may be 
available by law or in equity.

    (2) If the voting eligibility of any fluid milk processor is 
challenged within the timeframe specified in Sec. 1160.604(b)(1), the 
referendum agent shall review the challenge and make a final 
determination regarding the processor's eligibility to vote.
    (3) Prior to the time of mailing ballots to fluid milk processors, 
the referendum agent shall prepare a final list of eligible voters and 
make such list available upon request.
    (c) Verify the eligibility of all persons voting in the referendum 
by reviewing all ballots cast to assure that each ballot:
    (1) Was mailed within the prescribed time;
    (2) Contains all certifications required attesting to the

    (2) Fluid milk processors' records; and
    (3) Any other reliable sources of information which may be available 
to the referendum agent.
    (e) Further verify ballots to avoid a duplication of votes. The 
following criteria shall serve as a guide:
    (1) Each fluid milk processor that is other than an individual shall 
be regarded as one person for voting purposes;
    (2) No more than one vote may be cast on behalf of any one fluid 
milk processor; and
    (3) In the event that more than one individual claim the right to 
vote and cast a ballot for a fluid milk processor, concurring votes of 
such individuals shall be treated as one vote while any conflicting 
votes shall thereby invalidate all ballots cast by such individuals.
