Excessive Manufacturing (Make) Allowance in State Marketing 
Orders for Milk

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Supplemental proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document announces a 60-day extension of the time for 
submitting comments on the supplemental proposed rule, published in the 
Federal Register on November 1, 1993 (58 FR 58299), and additional 
comments on the original proposed rule, published in the Federal 
Register on June 19, 1992 (57 FR 27371), for implementing section 102 
of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, as 
amended.

DATES: All comments on the original and supplemental proposed rules 
must be received on or before April 1, 1994, in order to be assured of 
consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted to Dr. Charles N. Shaw, 
Director, Dairy Analysis Division, Agricultural Stabilization and 
Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 
2415, Washington, DC 20013-2415.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Charles N. Shaw, Director, Dairy 
Analysis Division, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, 
United States Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 2415, Washington, DC 
20013-2415, on 202-720-7601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 102 of the Food, Agriculture, 
Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 provides that no State shall 
provide for (and no person shall collect, directly or indirectly) a 
greater allowance for the processing of milk (``make allowance'') than 
is permitted under a Federal program to establish a Grade A price for 
manufacturing butter, nonfat dry milk, or cheese.
    On November 1, 1993, a supplemental proposed rule was published to 
implement section 102. A supplemental proposed rule was deemed 
necessary because of (1) comments received on the original proposed 
rule published on June 19, 1992, and (2) regulations issued by the 
Agricultural Marketing Service concerning the pricing of milk used to 
produce nonfat dry milk after the publication of the original proposed 
rule for section 102. The supplemental proposed rule specified that all 
comments had to be received by January 31, 1994, in order to be assured 
of consideration.
    Requests have been received from interested parties who indicate 
that they need additional time to prepare an analysis of the 
supplemental proposed rule. Based upon our review of those requests, it 
has been determined that an additional 60 days will be allowed for 
comment. Accordingly, comments on the proposed rule must now be 
received by April 1, 1994, in order to be assured of consideration.

Notice

    Notice is hereby given that the period of time for submitting 
comments on the supplemental proposed rule published on November 1, 
1993 (58 FR 58299), and for submitting additional comments on the 
original proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on June 19, 
1992 (57 FR 27371), is extended to April 1, 1994.

    Signed this 10th day of January 1994 in Washington, DC.
Mike Espy,
Secretary of Agriculture.
