NORTHEAST DAIRY COMPACT COMMISSION

7 CFR Part 1309


Over-Order Price Regulation; Supply Management Refund Program; 
Correction

AGENCY: Northeast Dairy Compact Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations (7 
CFR Part 1309) published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, May 31, 
2000, (65 FR 34580). The regulations related to establishing a Supply 
Management Refund Program for the regulated area pursuant to Article 
IV, section 9(f) of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact.

DATES: Effective date: June 1, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Smith, Executive Director, 
Northeast Dairy Compact Commission at the above address or by telephone 
at (802) 229-1941, or by facsimile at (802) 229-2028.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
established the Northeast Dairy Compact Commission's Supply Management 
Refund Program effective July 1, 2000. Section 1309.4 provides the 
qualifications and methodology for payments to producers of the supply 
management fund 45 days after the close of the refund year on June 30.

Need for Correction

    As published the final rule contains errors which may prove to be 
misleading and need to be clarified. Because of a clerical error, 
Sec. 1309.4(a) at line 5 of the first column of page 34581 refers to 
``production of the preceding calendar year'' when the Commission 
intended to refer to ``production of the preceding 12 month period.'' 
Also, and again due to a clerical error, Sec. 1309.4(b) at line 21 of 
the first column of page 34581 refers to ``Sec. 1309.2(e)'' which was 
intended to read ``Sec. 1309.2(c).''

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1309

    Milk.

    Accordingly, 7 CFR part 1309 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:

PART 1309--SUPPLY MANAGEMENT REFUND PROGRAM

    1. The authority citation for part 1309 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7256.


    2. Revise Sec. 1309.4 to read as follows:


Sec. 1309.4  Payment to producers of supply management refund.

    (a) All producers who are qualified pursuant to Sec. 1309.1 shall 
become eligible to receive payment of the supply management refund 
computed pursuant to Sec. 1309.2 by submitting to the compact 
commission documentation that the producer milk production during the 
refund year is less than or the increase is not more than 1% of the 
milk production of the preceding 12 month period. Such documentation 
shall be filed with the commission not later than 45 days after the end 
of the refund year.
    (b) The commission will make payment to all producers qualified 
pursuant to Sec. 1309.1 and eligible pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section in the following manner:
    (1) A per farm payment computed by dividing the amount subtracted 
pursuant to Sec. 1309.2(b) by the total eligible producers; and
    (2) The value determined by multiplying the supply management 
refund price computed pursuant to Sec. 1309.2(c) by the producer's milk 
pounds, not to exceed $12,000.

    Dated: May 1, 2001.
Daniel Smith,
Executive Director.
