Milk in the Eastern Ohio-Western Pennsylvania Marketing Area; Revision of Cooperative Association Reserve Processing Plant Shipping Requirement

Résumé

This document reinstates the cooperative pool reserve processing plant delivery requirement of 35 percent under the Eastern Ohio-Western Pennsylvania Federal milk order (Order 36), as of January 1, 1996. A reduction from 35 to 25 percent was intended to be temporary for the period July 1, 1993, through August 31, 1994. The current issue of the Code of Federal Regulations shows the percentage requirement to be 25 percent. The percentage of a cooperative association's member milk that must be delivered to pool distributing plants to qualify the cooperative's reserve processing plant for pooling continues to be 25 percent until December 31, 1995, rather than 35 percent. This action is necessary to prevent uneconomic movements of milk for the purpose of pooling much of the market's supply.
