| 97-14274 | Compact Over-Order Price Regulation | Rule | This rule establishes a compact over-order price regulation (``price regulation'') for all Class I, fluid milk route distributions in the territorial region of the six New England states, in the combined, Federal Milk Market Order #1 and compact over-order, amount of $16.94 (Zone 1). The price regulation is established for a six-month duration. The Northeast Dairy Compact Commission (``Compact Commission'') establishes this price regulation based on its findings that it is necessary to assure the viability of dairy farming in New England and to assure the region's consumers of a continued, adequate, local supply of fresh and wholesome milk, reasonably priced, and that it is otherwise in the public interest. The Compact Commission also establishes the price regulation based on the finding that the regulation has been approved by producer referendum pursuant to Article V, section 13 of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact. Certification of notice of approval by referendum is published separately in this Federal Register. The price regulation applies to all route dispositions of Class I fluid milk in the territorial region of the six New England states by compact ``pool plants'', or fluid processing plants located in New England, and by compact ``partially regulated plants'', or fluid processing plants located outside New England with such route dispositions in the region. The specific amount of the compact over- order price will be announced each month in coordination with the established procedure for price announcement by the Market Order #1 Administrator. The price regulation provides for a reimbursement to the Women, Infants and Children Special Supplement Nutrition Program under the United States Child Nutrition Act of 1966. (WIC Program). The reimbursement is in the entire amount of the compact over-order price, or the difference between $16.94 and the Market Order #1 price (Zone 1) as announced monthly, for all milk purchases made by each of the six State WIC programs. The Compact Commission will monitor production levels regionally and nationally to determine whether action is necessary to assure compliance with the provisions of 7 U.S.C. 7256(5), relating to compensation of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). Finally, the price regulation establishes an administrative assessment of 3.2 cents per hundredweight of milk on all route dispositions of Class I, fluid milk in the territorial region of the six New England states. | 1997-05-30 | 1997 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/05/30/97-14274/compact-over-order-price-regulation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-05-30/pdf/97-14274.pdf | Northeast Dairy Compact Commission | 380 | This rule establishes a compact over-order price regulation (``price regulation'') for all Class I, fluid milk route distributions in the territorial region of the six New England states, in the combined, Federal Milk Market Order #1 and compact... |
