Payment Programs for Shorn Wool, Wool on Unshorn Lambs, and Mohair (1991-1995)

This interim rule amends the regulations that set forth the 1991-1995 wool and mohair payment programs as authorized by the National Wool Act of 1954, as amended. This interim rule provides that in determining net proceeds for shorn wool or mohair, effective for 1993 and subsequent marketing years, marketing charges for commissions, coring, or grading shall not be deducted. This interim rule removes the 1 percent assessment on 1993, 1994, and 1995 marketings and revises payment limitation for the 1995 marketing year. The changes necessitated by the Omnibus Reconciliation Act, enacted August 10, 1993, were effective for the 1993 marketing year beginning January 1, 1993. Since the Act made changes that affect the 1993 and 1994 marketing years which are currently in effect with payments in process, good cause is shown to make the changes effective immediately without prior notice and comment. Comments will be received 60 days after the effective date and be considered when the rule is to be made final.
