Explanation

The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and permanentrules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agen-cies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided into 50 titles which representbroad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapterswhich usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further sub-divided into parts covering specific regulatory areas.

Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year and issuedon a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16..............................................................as of January 1Title 17 through Title 27 .................................................................as of April 1Title 28 through Title 41 ..................................................................as of July 1Title 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 (44U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie evidence of the textof 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 issuesof the Federal Register. These two publications must be used together to deter-mine 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, 2001), consult the ‘‘List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA),’’which is issued monthly, and the ‘‘Cumulative List of Parts Affected,’’ whichappears in the Reader Aids section of the daily Federal Register. These two listswill identify the Federal Register page number of the latest amendment of anygiven rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal Reg-ister since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source citations forthe regulations are referred to by volume number and page number of the FederalRegister and date of publication. Publication dates and effective dates are usu-ally not the same and care must be exercised by the user in determining theactual 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 effectivedate. In those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Registerstates a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be inserted followingthe text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

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

VerDate 11<MAY>2000 15:13 Feb 07, 2001 Jkt 194018 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 8008 Sfmt 8092 Y:\SGML\194018F.XXX pfrm01 PsN: 194018F

vi

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

OBSOLETE PROVISIONS

Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on the coverof each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text of provisions ineffect on a given date in the past by using the appropriate numerical list ofsections affected. For the period before January 1, 1986, consult either the Listof CFR Sections Affected, 1949–1963, 1964–1972, or 1973–1985, published in seven sep-arate volumes. For the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ‘‘List of CFR SectionsAffected’’ is published at the end of each CFR volume.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a separatevolume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR INDEX AND FINDING AIDS.This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory Authorities and AgencyRules (Table I). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and parts and an alphabeticallist of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in this volume.

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 indexis based on a consolidation of the ‘‘Contents’’ entries in the daily Federal Reg-ister.

A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to therevision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

§ 1000.42 Classification of transfersand diversions.

(a) Transfers and diversions to poolplants. Skim milk or butterfat trans-ferred or diverted in the form of a fluidmilk product or transferred in the formof a bulk fluid cream product from apool plant or a handler described in§ 1135.11 of this chapter to another poolplant shall be classified as Class I milkunless the handlers both request thesame classification in another class. Ineither case, the classification shall besubject to the following conditions:

(1) The skim milk and butterfat clas-sified in each class shall be limited tothe amount of skim milk and but-terfat, respectively, remaining in suchclass at the receiving plant after thecomputations pursuant to § 1000.44(a)(9)and the corresponding step of§ 1000.44(b);

(2) If the transferring plant receivedduring the month other source milk tobe allocated pursuant to § 1000.44(a)(3)or the corresponding step of § 1000.44(b),the skim milk or butterfat so trans-ferred shall be classified so as to allo-cate the least possible Class I utiliza-tion to such other source milk; and

(3) If the transferring handler re-ceived during the month other sourcemilk to be allocated pursuant to§ 1000.44(a)(8) or (9) or the correspondingsteps of § 1000.44(b), the skim milk orbutterfat so transferred, up to the totalof the skim milk and butterfat, respec-tively, in such receipts of other sourcemilk, shall not be classified as Class Imilk to a greater extent than would bethe case if the other source milk hadbeen received at the receiving plant.

(b) Transfers and diversions to a plantregulated under another Federal order.

Skim milk or butterfat transferred ordiverted in the form of a fluid milkproduct or transferred in the form of abulk fluid cream product from a poolplant to a plant regulated under an-other Federal order shall be classifiedin the following manner. Such classi-fication shall apply only to the skimmilk or butterfat that is in excess ofany receipts at the pool plant from aplant regulated under another Federalorder of skim milk and butterfat, re-spectively, in fluid milk products andbulk fluid cream products, respec-tively, that are in the same category asdescribed in paragraph (b)(1) or (2) ofthis section:

(1) As Class I milk, if transferred aspackaged fluid milk products;

(2) If transferred or diverted in bulkform, classification shall be in theclasses to which allocated under theother order:

(i) If the operators of both plants sorequest in their reports of receipts andutilization filed with their respectivemarket administrators, transfers inbulk form shall be classified as otherthan Class I to the extent that suchutilization is available for such classi-fication pursuant to the allocation pro-visions of the other order;

(ii) If diverted, the diverting handlermust request a classification otherthan Class I. If the plant receiving thediverted milk does not have sufficientutilization available for the requestedclassification and some of the divertedmilk is consequently assigned to ClassI use, the diverting handler shall begiven the option of designating the en-tire load of diverted milk as producermilk at the plant physically receivingthe milk. Alternatively, if the divert-ing handler so chooses, it may des-ignate which dairy farmers whose milkwas diverted during the month will bedesignated as producers under theorder physically receiving the milk. Ifthe diverting handler declines to ac-cept either of these options, the mar-ket administrator will prorate the por-tion of diverted milk in excess of ClassII, III, and IV use among all the dairyfarmers whose milk was received fromthe diverting handler on the last day ofthe month, then the second-to-last day,and continuing in that fashion until

the excess diverted milk has been as-signed as producer milk under the re-ceiving order; and

(iii) If information concerning theclasses to which such transfers or di-versions were allocated under the otherorder is not available to the market ad-ministrator for the purpose of estab-lishing classification under this para-graph, classification shall be Class I,subject to adjustment when such infor-mation is available.

(c) Transfers and diversions to pro-ducer-handlers and to exempt plants.Skim milk or butterfat that is trans-ferred or diverted from a pool plant toa producer-handler under any Federalorder or to an exempt plant shall beclassified:

(1) As Class I milk if transferred ordiverted to a producer-handler;

(2) As Class I milk if transferred toan exempt plant in the form of a pack-aged fluid milk product; and

(3) In accordance with the utilizationassigned to it by the market adminis-trator if transferred or diverted in theform of a bulk fluid milk product ortransferred in the form of a bulk fluidcream product to an exempt plant. Forthis purpose, the receiving handler’sutilization of skim milk and butterfatin each class, in series beginning withClass IV, shall be assigned to the ex-tent possible to its receipts of skimmilk and butterfat, in bulk fluid creamproducts, and bulk fluid milk products,respectively, pro rata to each source.

(d) Transfers and diversions to othernonpool plants. Skim milk or butterfattransferred or diverted in the followingforms from a pool plant to a nonpoolplant that is not a plant regulatedunder another order, an exempt plant,or a producer-handler plant shall beclassified:

(1) As Class I milk, if transferred inthe form of a packaged fluid milk prod-uct; and

(2) As Class I milk, if transferred ordiverted in the form of a bulk fluidmilk product or transferred in the formof a bulk fluid cream product, unlessthe following conditions apply:

(i) If the conditions described inparagraphs (d)(2)(i)(A) and (B) of thissection are met, transfers or diversionsin bulk form shall be classified on thebasis of the assignment of the nonpool

plant’s utilization, excluding the milkequivalent of both nonfat milk solidsand concentrated milk used in theplant during the month, to its receiptsas set forth in paragraphs (d)(2)(ii)through (viii) of this section:

(A) The transferring handler or di-verting handler claims such classifica-tion in such handler’s report of receiptsand utilization filed pursuant to§ ll.30 of each Federal milk order forthe month within which such trans-action occurred; and

(B) The nonpool plant operator main-tains books and records showing theutilization of all skim milk and but-terfat received at such plant which aremade available for verification pur-poses if requested by the market ad-ministrator;

(ii) Route disposition in the mar-keting area of each Federal milk orderfrom the nonpool plant and transfers ofpackaged fluid milk products fromsuch nonpool plant to plants fully reg-ulated thereunder shall be assigned tothe extent possible in the following se-quence:

(A) Pro rata to receipts of packagedfluid milk products at such nonpoolplant from pool plants;

(B) Pro rata to any remaining unas-signed receipts of packaged fluid milkproducts at such nonpool plant fromplants regulated under other Federalorders;

(C) Pro rata to receipts of bulk fluidmilk products at such nonpool plantfrom pool plants; and

§ 1000.43 General classification rules.

In determining the classification ofproducer milk pursuant to § 1000.44, thefollowing rules shall apply:

(a) Each month the market adminis-trator shall correct for mathematicaland other obvious errors all reportsfiled pursuant to § ll.30 of each Fed-eral milk order and shall compute sep-arately for each pool plant, for eachhandler described in § 1000.9(c) and§ 1135.11 of this chapter, the pounds ofskim milk and butterfat, respectively,in each class in accordance with§§ 1000.40 and 1000.42, and paragraph (b)of this section.

(b) Shrinkage and Overage. For pur-poses of classifying all milk reportedby a handler pursuant to § ll.30 ofeach Federal milk order the marketadministrator shall determine theshrinkage or overage of skim milk andbutterfat for each pool plant and eachhandler described in § 1000.9(c) and§ 1135.11 of this chapter by subtractingtotal utilization from total receipts.Any positive difference shall be shrink-age, and any negative difference shallbe overage.

(1) Shrinkage incurred by pool plantsqualified pursuant to § ll.7 of anyFederal milk order shall be assigned tothe lowest-priced class to the extentthat such shrinkage does not exceed:

(i) Two percent of the total quantityof milk physically received at theplant directly from producers’ farms onthe basis of farm weights and tests;

(ii) Plus 1.5 percent of the quantity ofbulk milk physically received on abasis other than farm weights andtests, excluding concentrated milk re-ceived by agreement for other thanClass I use;

(iii) Plus .5 percent of the quantity ofmilk diverted by the plant operator toanother plant on a basis other thanfarm weights and tests; and

(iv) Minus 1.5 percent of the quantityof bulk milk transferred to otherplants, excluding concentrated milktransferred by agreement for otherthan Class I use.

(2) A handler described in § 1000.9(c)or § 1135.11 of this chapter that deliversmilk to plants on a basis other thanfarm weights and tests shall receive alowest-priced-class shrinkage allow-ance of .5 percent of the total quantityof such milk picked up at producers’farms.

(c) If any of the water contained inthe milk from which a product is madeis removed before the product is uti-lized or disposed of by the handler, thepounds of skim milk in such productthat are to be considered under thispart as used or disposed of by the han-dler shall be an amount equivalent tothe nonfat milk solids contained insuch product plus all of the wateroriginally associated with such solids.

(d) Skim milk and butterfat con-tained in receipts of bulk concentratedfluid milk and nonfluid milk productsthat are reconstituted for fluid useshall be assigned to Class I use, up tothe reconstituted portion of labeled re-constituted fluid milk products, on apro rata basis (except for any Class Iuse of specific concentrated receiptsthat is established by the handler)prior to any assignments under§ 1000.44. Any remaining skim milk andbutterfat in concentrated receipts shallbe assigned to uses under § 1000.44 on apro rata basis, unless a specific use ofsuch receipts is established by the han-dler.

§ 1000.44 Classification of producermilk.

For each month the market adminis-trator shall determine for each handlerdescribed in § 1000.9(a) for each poolplant of the handler separately and foreach handler described in § 1000.9(c) and§ 1135.11 of this chapter the classifica-tion of producer milk by allocating thehandler’s receipts of skim milk andbutterfat to the handler’s gross utiliza-tion of such receipts pursuant to§ 1000.43(b)(3) as follows:

(a) Skim milk shall be allocated inthe following manner:

(1) Subtract from the pounds of skimmilk in Class I the pounds of skimmilk in:

(i) Receipts of packaged fluid milkproducts from an unregulated supplyplant to the extent that an equivalentamount of skim milk disposed of tosuch plant by handlers fully regulated

(ii) Packaged fluid milk products ininventory at the beginning of themonth. This paragraph shall apply onlyif the pool plant was subject to the pro-visions of this paragraph or comparableprovisions of another Federal order inthe immediately preceding month;

(iii) Fluid milk products received inpackaged form from plants regulatedunder other Federal orders; and

(iv) To the extent that the receiptsdescribed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)through (iii) of this section exceed thegross Class I utilization of skim milk,the excess receipts shall be subtractedpursuant to paragraph (a)(3)(vi) of thissection.

(2) Subtract from the pounds of skimmilk in Class II the pounds of skimmilk in the receipts of skim milk inbulk concentrated fluid milk productsand in other source milk (except othersource milk received in the form of anunconcentrated fluid milk product or afluid cream product) that is used toproduce, or added to, any product inClass II (excluding the quantity of suchskim milk that was classified as ClassIV milk pursuant to § 1000.40(d)(3)). Tothe extent that the receipts describedin this paragraph exceed the grossClass II utilization of skim milk, theexcess receipts shall be subtracted pur-suant to paragraph (a)(3)(vi) of this sec-tion.

(3) Subtract from the pounds of skimmilk remaining in each class, in seriesbeginning with Class IV, the pounds ofskim milk in:

(1) Determine the value that wouldhave been computed pursuant to§ lll.60 of the order for the partiallyregulated distributing plant if theplant had been a pool plant, subject tothe following modifications:

(i) Fluid milk products and bulk fluidcream products received at the plantfrom a pool plant, a plant fully regu-lated under another Federal order, andhandlers described in § 1000.9(c) and§ 1135.11 of this chapter shall be allo-cated at the partially regulated distrib-uting plant to the same class in which

such products were classified at thefully regulated plant;

(ii) Fluid milk products and bulkfluid cream products transferred fromthe partially regulated distributingplant to a pool plant or a plant fullyregulated under another Federal ordershall be classified at the partially regu-lated distributing plant in the class towhich allocated at the fully regulatedplant. Such transfers shall be allocatedto the extent possible to those receiptsat the partially regulated distributingplant from the pool plant and plantsfully regulated under other Federal or-ders that are classified in the cor-responding class pursuant to paragraph(b)(1)(i) of this section. Any such trans-fers remaining after the above alloca-tion which are in Class I and for whicha value is computed pursuant to§ lll.60 of the order for the partiallyregulated distributing plant shall bepriced at the statistical uniform priceor uniform price, whichever is applica-ble, of the respective order regulatingthe handling of milk at the receivingplant, with such statistical uniformprice or uniform price adjusted to thelocation of the nonpool plant (but notto be less than the lowest announcedclass price of the respective order); and

(iii) If the operator of the partiallyregulated distributing plant so re-quests, the handler’s value of milk de-termined pursuant to § lll.60 of theorder shall include a value of milk de-termined for each nonpool plant that isnot a plant fully regulated under an-other Federal order which serves as asupply plant for the partially regulateddistributing plant by making ship-ments to the partially regulated dis-tributing plant during the monthequivalent to the requirements of§ lll. 7(c) of the order subject to thefollowing conditions:

After completing the computationsdescribed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii)of this section, determine the value ofthe remaining pounds of fluid milkproducts disposed of as route disposi-tion in the marketing area by multi-plying the hundredweight of suchpounds by the amount, if greater thanzero, that remains after subtractingthe State program’s class prices appli-cable to such products at the plant’slocation from the Federal order Class Iprice applicable at the location of theplant.

(d) Any handler may elect partiallyregulated distributing plant status forany plant with respect to receipts ofnonfluid milk ingredients that are re-constituted for fluid use. Paymentsmay be made to the producer-settle-ment fund of the order regulating theproducer milk used to produce thenonfluid milk ingredients at the posi-tive difference between the Class Iprice applicable under the other orderat the location of the plant where thenonfluid milk ingredients were proc-essed and the Class IV price. This pay-ment option shall apply only if a ma-jority of the total milk received at theplant that processed the nonfluid milkingredients is regulated under one ormore Federal orders and payment mayonly be made to the producer-settle-ment fund of the order pricing a plu-rality of the milk used to produce thenonfluid milk ingredients.

§ 1001.61 Computation of producerbutterfat price and producer pricedifferential.

For each month, the market adminis-trator shall compute a producer but-terfat price per pound of butterfat anda producer price differential per hun-dredweight for producer milk receipts.The report of any handler who has notmade payments required pursuant to§ 1001.71 for the preceding month shallnot be included in the computation ofthese prices, and such handler’s reportshall not be included in the computa-tion for succeeding months until thehandler has made full payment of out-standing monthly obligations. Subjectto the aforementioned conditions, themarket administrator shall computethe producer butterfat price and theproducer price differential in the fol-lowing manner:

(a) Producer butterfat price. The pro-ducer butterfat price per pound, round-ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1001.60(h) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Producer price differential. (1) Com-bine into one total the values com-puted pursuant to § 1001.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1001.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1001.60(a) through(g) and § 1001.60(i) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively;

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat for

which a value is computed pursuant to§ 1001.60(h) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract anamount equal to the plus location ad-justments computed pursuant to§ 1001.75;

(4) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total hundredweight of pro-ducer milk; and

(ii) The total hundredweight forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1001.60(h); and

(6) Subtract not less than 4 cents normore than 5 cents from the price com-puted pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) ofthis section. The result shall be knownas the producer price differential for themonth.

§ 1005.61 Computation of uniformprices.

On or before the 11th day of eachmonth, the market administrator shallcompute a uniform butterfat price, auniform skim milk price, and a uni-form price for producer milk receiptsreported for the prior month. The re-port of any handler who has not madepayments required pursuant to § 1005.71for the preceding month shall not beincluded in the computation of these

prices, and such handler’s report shallnot be included in the computation forsucceeding months until the handlerhas made full payment of outstandingmonthly obligations.

(a) Uniform butterfat price. The uni-form butterfat price per pound, round-ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1005.60(e) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Uniform skim milk price. The uni-form skim milk price per hundred-weight, rounded to the nearest cent,shall be computed as follows:

(1) Combine into one total the valuescomputed pursuant to § 1005.60 for allhandlers;

(3) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(4) Subtract the value of the totalpounds of butterfat for all handlers.The butterfat value shall be computedby multiplying the sum of the poundsof butterfat in producer milk and othersource milk used to calculate the val-ues in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) ofthis section by the butterfat price com-puted in paragraph (a) of this section;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total skim pounds of producermilk; and

(ii) The total skim pounds for whicha value is computed pursuant to§ 1007.60(e); and

(6) Subtract not less than 4 cents andnot more than 5 cents.

puted pursuant to § 1030.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1030.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1030.60(a) through(h) and § 1030.60(j) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively, and the totalvalue of the somatic cell adjustmentpursuant to § 1030.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1030.60(i) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract anamount equal to the plus location ad-justments computed pursuant to§ 1030.75;

(4) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total hundredweight of pro-ducer milk; and

(ii) The total hundredweight forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1030.60(i); and

(d) Diverted by the operator of a poolplant or a cooperative association de-scribed in § 1000.9(c) to a nonpool plant,subject to the following conditions:

(1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not beeligible for diversion until at least oneday’s production of such dairy farmerhas been physically received as pro-ducer milk at a pool plant and thedairy farmer has continuously retainedproducer status since that time. If adairy farmer loses producer statusunder the order in this part (except asa result of a temporary loss of Grade Aapproval), the dairy farmer’s milkshall not be eligible for diversion untilmilk of the dairy farmer has been phys-ically received as producer milk at apool plant;

(2) Of the quantity of producer milkreceived during the month (includingdiversions, but excluding the quantityof producer milk received from a han-dler described in § 1000.9(c)) the handlerdiverts to nonpool plants not morethan 65 percent during the months ofSeptember through November and Jan-uary, and not more than 75 percentduring the months of February throughApril and December;

(3) Diverted milk shall be priced atthe location of the plant to which di-verted;

(4) Any milk diverted in excess of thelimits prescribed in paragraph (d)(2) ofthis section shall not be producer milk.If the diverting handler or cooperativeassociation fails to designate the dairyfarmers’ deliveries that are not to be

producer milk, no milk diverted by thehandler or cooperative association dur-ing the month to a nonpool plant shallbe producer milk; and

(5) The applicable diversion limits inparagraph (d)(2) of this section may beincreased or decreased by the marketadministrator if the market adminis-trator finds that such revision is nec-essary to assure orderly marketing andefficient handling of milk in the mar-keting area. Before making such afinding, the market administratorshall investigate the need for the revi-sion either on the market administra-tor’s own initiative or at the request ofinterested persons if the request ismade in writing at least 15 days priorto the month for which the requestedrevision is desired effective.

§ 1032.61 Computation of producerbutterfat price and producer pricedifferential.

For each month the market adminis-trator shall compute a producer but-terfat price per pound of butterfat anda producer price differential per hun-dredweight for producer milk receipts.

The report of any handler who has notmade payments required pursuant to§ 1032.71 for the preceding month shallnot be included in the computation ofthese prices, and such handler’s reportshall not be included in the computa-tion for succeeding months until thehandler has made full payment of out-standing monthly obligations. Subjectto the conditions of this paragraph, themarket administrator shall computethe producer butterfat price and theproducer price differential in the fol-lowing manner:

(a) Producer butterfat price. The pro-ducer butterfat price per pound, round-ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1032.60(i) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Producer price differential. (1) Com-bine into one total the values com-puted pursuant to § 1032.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1032.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1032.60(a) through(h) and § 1032.60(j) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively, and the totalvalue of the somatic cell adjustmentpursuant to § 1032.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1032.60(i) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract an

§ 1033.61 Computation of producerbutterfat price and producer pricedifferential.

For each month the market adminis-trator shall compute a producer but-terfat price per pound of butterfat anda producer price differential per hun-dredweight for producer milk receipts.The report of any handler who has notmade payments required pursuant to§ 1033.71 for the preceding month shallnot be included in the computation ofthese prices, and such handler’s reportshall not be included in the computa-tion for succeeding months until thehandler has made full payment of out-standing monthly obligations. Subjectto the conditions of this paragraph, themarket administrator shall computethe producer butterfat price and theproducer price differential in the fol-lowing manner:

(a) Producer butterfat price. The pro-ducer butterfat price per pound, round-ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1033.60(i) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Producer price differential. (1) Com-bine into one total the values com-puted pursuant to § 1033.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1033.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1033.60(a) through

(h) and § 1033.60(j) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively, and the totalvalue of the somatic cell adjustmentpursuant to § 1033.30(a)(1) and (c)(1);

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1033.60(i) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract anamount equal to the plus location ad-justments computed pursuant to§ 1033.75;

(4) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total hundredweight of pro-ducer milk; and

(ii) The total hundredweight forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1033.60(i); and

(6) Subtract not less than 4 cents normore than 5 cents from the price com-puted pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) ofthis section. The result shall be knownas the producer price differential for themonth.

(3) Final payment to a cooperative asso-ciation for milk transferred from its poolplant. Following the classification ofbulk fluid milk products and bulk fluidcream products received during themonth from a cooperative associationin its capacity as the operator of a poolplant, the final payment for such re-ceipts shall be determined as follows:

(i) The hundredweight of Class I skimmilk times the Class I skim milk pricefor the month plus the pounds of ClassI butterfat times the Class I butterfatprice for the month. The Class I pricesto be used shall be the prices effectiveat the location of the receiving plant;

(ii) The pounds of nonfat solids inClass II skim milk by the Class II non-fat solids price;

(iii) The pounds of butterfat in ClassII times the Class II butterfat price;

§ 1124.61 Computation of producerbutterfat price and producer pricedifferential.

For each month, the market adminis-trator shall compute a producer but-terfat price per pound of butterfat anda producer price differential per hun-dredweight. The report of any handlerwho has not made payments requiredpursuant to § 1124.71 for the precedingmonth shall not be included in thesecomputations, and such handler’s re-port shall not be included in the com-putation for succeeding months untilthe handler has made full payment ofoutstanding monthly obligations. Sub-ject to the aforementioned conditions,the market administrator shall com-pute the producer butterfat price andthe producer price differential in thefollowing manner:

(a) Producer butterfat price. The pro-ducer butterfat price per pound, round-

ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1124.60(h) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Producer price differential. (1) Com-bine into one total the values com-puted pursuant to § 1124.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1124.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1124.60(a) through(g) and § 1124.60(i) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively;

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1124.60(h) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract anamount equal to the plus location ad-justments computed pursuant to§ 1124.75;

(4) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total hundredweight of pro-ducer milk; and

(ii) The total hundredweight forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1124.60(h); and

(6) Subtract not less than 4 cents normore than 5 cents from the price com-puted pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) ofthis section. The result shall be known

§ 1135.60 Handler’s value of milk.For the purpose of computing a han-

dler’s obligation for producer milk, themarket administrator shall determinefor each month the value of milk ofeach handler with respect to each ofthe handler’s pool plants, and of eachhandler described in § 1000.9(c) and eachhandler described in § 1135.11, with re-spect to milk that was not received ata pool plant, by adding the amountscomputed in paragraphs (a) through (h)of this section and subtracting fromthat total amount the value computedin paragraph (i) of this section. Unlessotherwise specified, the skim milk,butterfat, and the combined pounds ofskim milk and butterfat referred to inthis section shall result from the stepsset forth in § 1000.44 (a), (b), and (c), re-spectively, and the nonfat componentsof producer milk in each class shall bebased upon the proportion of such non-fat components in producer skim milk.Receipts of nonfluid milk products thatare distributed as labeled reconstitutedmilk for which payments are made tothe producer-settlement fund of an-other Federal order under § 1000.76 (a)(4)or (d) shall be excluded from pricingunder this section.

skim milk in Class I by the Class Iskim milk price; and

(2) Add an amount obtained by multi-plying the pounds of butterfat in ClassI by the Class I butterfat price.

(b) Class II value.(1) Multiply the pounds of nonfat sol-

ids in Class II skim milk by the ClassII nonfat solids price; and

ids in Class IV skim milk by the nonfatsolids price; and

(2) Add an amount obtained by multi-plying the pounds of butterfat in ClassIV by the Class IV butterfat price.

(e) Multiply the pounds of skim milkand butterfat overage assigned to eachclass pursuant to § 1000.44(a)(11) and thecorresponding step of § 1000.44(b) by theskim milk prices and butterfat pricesapplicable to each class.

(f) Multiply the difference betweenthe current month’s Class I, II, or IIIprice, as the case may be, and the ClassIV price for the preceding month bythe hundredweight of skim milk andbutterfat subtracted from Class I, II, orIII, respectively, pursuant to§ 1000.44(a)(7) and the correspondingstep of § 1000.44(b);

§ 1135.61 Computation of producerbutterfat price and producer pricedifferential.

For each month, the market adminis-trator shall compute a producer but-terfat price per pound of butterfat anda producer price differential per hun-dredweight. The report of any handlerwho has not made payments requiredpursuant to § 1135.71 for the precedingmonth shall not be included in thesecomputations, and such handler’s re-port shall not be included in the com-putation for succeeding months untilthe handler has made full payment ofoutstanding monthly obligations. Sub-ject to the conditions of this para-graph, the market administrator shallcompute the producer butterfat priceand the producer price differential inthe following manner:

(a) Producer butterfat price. The pro-ducer butterfat price per pound, round-ed to the nearest one-hundredth cent,shall be computed by:

(1) Multiplying the pounds of but-terfat in producer milk allocated toeach class pursuant to § 1000.44(b) bythe respective class butterfat prices;

(2) Adding the butterfat value cal-culated in § 1135.60(h) for other sourcemilk allocated to Class I pursuant to§ 1000.43(d) and the steps of § 1000.44(b)that correspond to § 1000.44(a)(3)(i) and§ 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 thesum of the pounds of butterfat in pro-ducer milk and other source milk usedto calculate the values in paragraphs(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.

(b) Producer price differential. (1) Com-bine into one total the values com-puted pursuant to § 1135.60 for all han-dlers required to file reports prescribedin § 1135.30;

(2) Subtract the total of the valuesobtained:

(i) By multiplying the total pounds ofprotein, other solids, and butterfatcontained in each handler’s producermilk for which an obligation was com-puted pursuant to § 1135.60(a) through(g) and § 1135.60(i) by the protein price,other solids price, and producer but-terfat price, respectively;

(ii) By multiplying each handler’spounds of skim milk and butterfat forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1135.60(h) by the Class III skim milkprice and the producer butterfat price,respectively;

(3) Add an amount equal to the minuslocation adjustments and subtract anamount equal to the plus location ad-justments computed pursuant to§ 1135.75;

(4) Add an amount equal to not lessthan one-half of the unobligated bal-ance in the producer-settlement fund;

(5) Divide the resulting amount bythe sum of the following for all han-dlers included in these computations:

(i) The total hundredweight of pro-ducer milk; and

(ii) The total hundredweight forwhich a value is computed pursuant to§ 1135.60(h); and

(6) Subtract not less than 4 cents normore than 5 cents from the price com-puted pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) ofthis section. The result shall be knownas the producer price differential for themonth.
