[Docket No. DA-97-09]


Milk in the Tennessee Valley Marketing Area; Notice of Extension 
of Time for Filing Comments

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of time for filing comments.

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

SUMMARY: This document extends the time for filing comments to the 
proposed termination for the Tennessee Valley Federal milk marketing 
order from July 10, 1997, to July 31, 1997. The Department issued the 
proposed termination in response to producer disapproval of the 
Tennessee Valley order as provided for in the May 12, 1997, final 
decision which proposes to amend transportation credit provisions in 4 
southeastern milk orders. Southern Belle Dairy, a handler regulated 
under the Tennessee Valley milk order, requested the extension of time 
contending that the original comment period was too short to prepare a 
proper response.

DATES: Comments are now due on or before July 31, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments (two copies) should be filed with the USDA/AMS/
Dairy Division, Order Formulation Branch, Room 2971, South Building, 
P.O. Box 96456, Washington, DC 20090-6456.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicholas Memoli, Marketing Specialist, 
USDA/AMS/Dairy Division, Order Formulation Branch, Room 2971, South 
Building, P.O. Box 96456, Washington, DC 20090-6456, (202) 690-1932, e-
mail address Nicholas M[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Prior documents in this proceeding:
    Notice of Proposed Termination: Issued June 30, 1997; published 
July 3, 1997 (62 FR 36022).
    Notice is hereby given that the time for filing comments to the 
proposed termination is hereby extended from July 10, 1997, to July 31, 
1997.
    Southern Belle Dairy requested the extension of time for comments 
arguing that the extension was necessary in order to have sufficient 
time to prepare a proper response to the proposed termination. Taking 
into consideration other obligations by interested parties, the 
Department contends that the additional time is reasonable and 
justified.
    This notice is issued pursuant to the provisions of the 
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601-
674).
