Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
"Milk" means bulk milk of any composition of milk
						solids-not-fat, fat, and fluid carrier that has not been altered in any way
						that further restricts its usage from the milk in its original or natural form.
						Milk that has been altered by adding processed products, whether dairy or
						non-dairy, other than for fortifying bulk milk, bulk low fat milk, bulk
						reduced-fat milk, or bulk skim milk, changes the bulk product such that it can
						no longer be considered as farm or producer milk, and is therefore ineligible
						for Trust Fund coverage.

(a) The total
					 amount owed by the handler to all producers shall be called the "gross
					 default". From the gross default, any surety bond recovery shall be deducted.
					 The resulting amount is called the "adjusted default".
(b) From the adjusted default, any amounts
					 ineligible for coverage per FAC Section
					 62580 shall be deducted. The
					 resulting amount is called the "net default".
(c) The $200,000 deductible required by FAC
					 Section 62624 shall be deducted from the
					 net default. The resulting amount is the total maximum exposure of the
					 Fund.
(d) An eligible producer who
					 claims reimbursement from the Fund will be paid his/her pro rata shares from

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
To assert a claim of confidentiality, a manufacturer must
						clearly identify any information which he claims is entitled to be considered
						as trade secrets.
(a) Any data and
					 information claimed by the manufacturer to be trade secrets under Section
					 2300.1(a) of Title
					 3 of the California Code of Regulations shall be submitted in accordance to the
					 following procedures:
(1) Any items of
					 information which, in the manufacturer's opinion, should be considered as trade
					 secrets as defined in Section
					 2300.1(a), shall
					 be removed from the body of information and submitted in a separate,
					 confidential attachment marked with "Trade Secrets" on its cover page. The
					 manufacturer waives the claim for consideration as trade secret for any item
					 that remains in the body of information.
(2) A reference number shall be assigned to
					 each item that is to be considered as a trade secret in the confidential
					 attachment; the corresponding reference number shall be placed in the body of
					 the submitted information where the item was removed.
(3) The page number(s) and the number of the

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Information considered as trade secrets and therefore
						confidential will be withheld from public disclosure unless the Secretary has
						determined that disclosure is necessary to protect against an unreasonable risk
						of injury to health or the environment.
(a) Designating information as trade secrets
					 by the manufacturer does not automatically qualify them as trade secrets and
					 therefore subject to confidentiality. Upon receipt of a Public Records Act
					 request the Secretary will determine the validity of trade secret claims. If
					 the Secretary determines that the information designated as a trade secret is,
					 in fact a trade secret, that information will be treated as such and will be
					 held in confidence.
(b) If the
					 Secretary determines that information designated by the manufacturer as trade
					 secrets does not qualify as such and proposes to release it for inspection, the
					 Secretary shall notify the manufacturer in writing, to the address provided by
					 the manufacturer as stated on the license application. The Secretary shall not
					 thereafter release for inspection any designated information until 10 days
					 after mailing notice to the manufacturer. During this period, the manufacturer
					 may institute an action in an appropriate venue for judgment as to whether such
					 information is subject to protection.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Inorganic commercial fertilizer and agricultural mineral products shall not
					 exceed the following standards for the non-nutrient metals arsenic, cadmium and
					 lead:
(1) For each percent iron, manganese or
					 zinc, the fertilizing material shall not exceed the following concentrations of
					 non-nutrient metals: arsenic, 13 parts per million; cadmium, 12 parts per
					 million; lead, 140 parts per million.
(2) For each percent available phosphate
					 (P2O5), the fertilizing material
					 shall not exceed the following concentrations of non-nutrient metals: arsenic,
					 2 parts per million; cadmium, 4 parts per million; lead, 20 parts per
					 million.
(3) The concentration
					 limits are applied as follows:
(A) For
					 micronutrient materials with guaranteed available iron, manganese or zinc
					 multiply the percentage of guaranteed micronutrient material (Minor Element) by
					 the arsenic, cadmium and lead maximum concentrations as expressed in parts per
					 million (ppm). Example: A 12% Iron product will have the following limits:
					 arsenic, 156 parts per million (13 ppm X 12); cadmium, 144 parts per million
					 (12 ppm X 12); and lead, 1,680 parts per million (140 ppm X 12).
(B) For phosphate
					 (P2O5) materials multiply the
					 guaranteed percentage of P2O5 by
					 the arsenic, cadmium and lead maximum concentrations as expressed in parts per
					 million (ppm). Example: A guaranteed available 52%
					 (P2O5) phosphate product will
					 have the following limits: arsenic 104 parts per million (2 ppm X 52); cadmium
					 208 parts per million (4 ppm X 52); and lead 1,040 parts per million (20 ppm X
					 52).
(4) For specialty
					 fertilizers that guarantee less than 6% available phosphate
					 (P2O5) but make no micronutrient
					 claim, the maximum allowable concentrations of non-nutrient metals shall not
					 exceed: arsenic, 10 parts per million; cadmium, 20 parts per million; and lead,
					 100 parts per million.
(5) For
					 specialty fertilizers that guarantee less than 6% available phosphate
					 (P2O5) and make a micronutrient
					 claim, multiply the guaranteed percentage of micronutrient by the arsenic,
					 cadmium and lead maximum concentrations as expressed in parts per million (ppm)
					 and add the following values to that total: arsenic, 10 parts per million;
					 cadmium, 20 parts per million; and lead 100 parts per million.
(6) The concentration limits are applied as
					 follows:
(A) A guaranteed available 3%
					 (P2O5) phosphate product with 2%
					 guaranteed zinc will have the following limits. Example: arsenic, 36 parts per
					 million (13 ppm X 2 zinc = 26 ppm + 10 ppm); cadmium, 44 parts per million (12
					 ppm X 2 zinc = 24 ppm + 20 ppm); and lead, 380 parts per million (140 ppm X 2
					 zinc = 280 ppm + 100 ppm).

					 ions.
(3) As a soil application to
					 annual crops, a lesser response from the initial crop, with a corresponding
					 superior response from succeeding crops, may be observed. In addition,
					 placement close to seeds or root zones may be injurious to crops. The effect
					 may be aggravated by a soil pH below 6.5.
(A)
					 The grade of a product containing phosphorous acid shall either possess an
					 asterisk by the available phosphoric acid percentage expressed as total

(5) Products containing phosphorous acid such
					 as potassium phosphite and ammonium phosphite which undergo a degree of
					 conversion in plants or soils to available phosphoric acid
					 (P2O5).
(6) Effective January 1, 2006, products
					 containing elemental sulfur are a source of nutrient sulfur when applied to
					 soil. Other application techniques for elemental sulfur must be substantiated
					 by scientific research as required by Section
