Milk in the Upper Midwest Marketing Area; Decision on Proposed Amendments to Marketing Agreement and to Order

Streszczenie

This document proposes to adopt as a final rule, order language contained in the interim final rule published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2002 concerning pooling provisions of the Upper Midwest Federal milk order. It sets forth the decision of the Secretary and is subject to approval by producers. Specifically, this final decision would continue to prohibit the ability to simultaneously pool the same milk on the Upper Midwest Federal milk order and a State- operated milk order that has marketwide pooling. Additionally, the final decision would continue to limit the amount of milk that can be diverted to nonpool plants from pool distributing plants regulated under the order.
