Milk in the Appalachian, Florida, and Southeast Marketing Areas; Order Amending the Orders

This final rule amends the Appalachian, Florida, and Southeast Federal milk marketing orders (Orders 5, 6, and 7). Specifically, the final rule implements a temporary supplemental charge on Class I milk that will be disbursed to handlers who incurred extraordinary transportation costs for bulk milk movements in and to Orders 5, 6, and 7 as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. The amendments are based on record evidence of a public hearing held on October 7, 2004. More than the required number of dairy farmers approved the issuance of the amended orders.
