> USDA ANNOUNCES AMENDMENTS TO FLUID MILK PROMOTION ORDER
> WASHINGTON, June 5, 2000--The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced
today
> that it is amending the Fluid Milk Promotion Order effective June 7, 2000
> Kathleen A. Merrigan, administrator of USDA's Agricultural Marketing
> Service, said the amendments allow fluid milk processors to have up to
three
> members instead of two on the board. The amendments also allow board
members
> whose fluid milk processor company affiliation has changed to serve for
six
> months or until a successor is appointed, whichever is sooner. The
> amendments ensure board continuity and full board representation, she
said.
> The National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board, which administers the
> Fluid Milk Order, requested the proposed changes. The program is financed
by
> a mandatory 20-cent per hundredweight assessment on all fluid milk
products
> processed and marketed in consumer-type packages by fluid milk processors
in
> the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Fluid milk
processors
> who process and market more than 500,000 pounds of fluid milk products are
> charged the assessment, and those who process and market 500,000 pounds or
> less are exempted from the order.
> AMS encourages all eligible women, minorities, and persons with
disabilities
> to serve and participate in its committee and board activities. It is
USDA's
> policy that membership on industry-governed committees and boards
accurately
> reflect the diversity of individuals served by the programs.
> Details of the amendments will be published as a final rule in the June 6
> Federal Register. Copies and additional information may be obtained from
> David R. Jamison, Chief, Promotion and Research Branch, Dairy Programs,
AMS,
> USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Stop 0233, Room 2958-S, Washington,
