[Doc. No. AMS-DA-09-0062; AO-14-A73, et al.; DA-03-10]


Milk in the Northeast and Other Marketing Areas; Correction.

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the proposed rule that 
was published in the June 14, 2010, Federal Register (75 FR 33534). The 
proposed rule inadvertently used the word ``or'' rather than ``and'' in 
the proposed amendment to Sec.  1000.15 paragraph (b)(1) that provides 
exceptions to the fluid milk product definition. This document corrects 
the proposed rule by revising that section and directs that a 
referendum be conducted on the proposed amendments in the corrected 
proposed rule.

DATES: Effective Date: June 24, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Francis, Associate Deputy 
Administrator, USDA/AMS/Dairy Programs, Order Formulation and 
Enforcement Branches, STOP 0231-Room 2971, 1400 Independence Avenue, 
SW., Washington, DC 20250-0231, (202) 720-6274, e-mail address: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. No. AMS-DA-09-0062 appearing in 
the Federal Register of Monday, June 14, 2010 [75 FR 33534], the 
following correction is made:


Sec.  1000.15  [Corrected]

    On page 33552, in the second column, in paragraph (b)(1) of Sec.  
1000.15, the phrase ``Any product that contains less than 6.5 percent 
nonfat milk solids or contains less than 2.25 percent true milk 
protein;'' is corrected to read ``Any product that contains less than 
6.5 percent nonfat milk solids and contains less than 2.25 percent true 
milk protein;''.
    Further, in consideration of this correction, the Referendum Order 
to Determine Producer Approval; Determination of Representative Period; 
and Designation of Referendum Agency on page 33551 of the final 
decision is superseded by the following order:

Referendum Order To Determine Producer Approval; Determination of 
Representative Period; and Designation of Referendum Agent

    It is hereby directed that a referenda be conducted and completed 
on or before the 30th day from the date this correction is published in

the orders as amended and hereby proposed to be amended, regulating the 
handling of milk in the Northeast, Appalachian, Florida, Southeast, 
Upper Midwest, Central, Mideast, Pacific Northwest, Southwest and 
Arizona marketing areas is approved or favored by producers, as defined 
under the terms of the order, as amended and as hereby proposed to be 
amended, who during such representative period were engaged in the 
production of milk for sale within the aforesaid marketing areas.
    The representative period for the conduct of such referenda is 
hereby determined to be June 2009.
