Milk in the Central Marketing Area; Interim Order Amending the Order

This order amends certain pooling provisions of the Central Federal milk order on an interim basis. This interim order amends the Pool plant provisions that: Establish lower but year-round supply plant performance standards; will not consider the volume of milk shipments to distributing plants regulated by another Federal milk order as a qualifying shipment for the Central order; exclude from receipts diverted milk made by a pool plant to another pool plant in determining pool plant diversion limits; and establish a "net shipments" provision for milk deliveries to distributing plants. For Producer milk, this interim order adopts amendments that: establish higher year- round diversion limits; will base diversion limits for supply plants on deliveries to Central order distributing plants; and eliminate the ability to simultaneously pool milk on the Central milk order and a State-operated milk order that has marketwide pooling. More than the required number of producers in the Central marketing area have approved the issuance of the interim order as amended.
