Milk in the Carolina and Certain Other Marketing Areas; Order Amending the Orders

This final rule amends three Federal milk orders in the Southeastern United States. The amendments modify certain provisions of the orders regarding transportation credits which were implemented on an interim basis in order to reimburse handlers for the cost of importing bulk milk into these markets for fluid use when local supplies are insufficient to meet fluid needs. More than two-thirds of the producers in the Carolina, Southeast, and Louisville-Lexington- Evansville markets approved the adoption of the rules. Producers in the Tennessee Valley market disapproved the Tennessee Valley milk order as amended, resulting in the proposed termination of such milk order to be handled in a separate rulemaking action.
