Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Report Forms under a California 

Federal Milk Marketing Order (from 

Milk Handlers and Milk Marketing 

Cooperatives); Referendum Procedures. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–New. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937 (AMAA) as amended, (7 U.S.C. 

601–674, and 7253), authorizes the 

Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) 

Program. The authority for conducting a 

producer referendum to ascertain 

whether the issuance of an order is 

approved or favored is outlined in 7 

U.S.C. 608c(9). The California dairy 

industry requested promulgation of a 

FMMO for California similar, to the 10 

existing FMMO’s throughout the United 

States. The proposed FMMO 

incorporates the entire state of 

California and would adopt the same 

dairy product classification and pricing 

provisions used throughout the current 

FMMO system. AMS will issue a Final 

Decision on promulgating a California 

FMMO. 

Need and Use of the Information: A 

referendum will be conducted and the 

information collected would be used by 

the Agricultural Marketing Service 

Dairy Program to determine whether 

producers and/or cooperative 

associations support implementation of 

the California FMMO. If the collection 

is not conducted, producers and/or 

cooperative associations would be 

unable to vote on the California FMMO. 

The referendum is necessary to 

determine whether the California 

FMMO should be established. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 1,453. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 363.

Departmental Information Collection
