Dairy Donation Program

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; removal of expiration date.

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

SUMMARY: On September 1, 2021, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 
amended the provisions of the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program 
through September 1, 2023, and added regulations for the Dairy Donation 
Program, on an interim basis, set to expire September 1, 2023. On 
August 24, 2023, AMS published a final rule further amending the 
provisions of both programs and removing the expiration date for the 
Dairy Donation Program. However, we failed to formally adopt the 
interim provisions, remove the expiration of the amendments to the Milk 
Donation Reimbursement Program, and list the removal of both 
expirations in the DATES section of the preamble. This final rule 
corrects that oversight.

DATES: Effective August 31 2023, the September 1, 2023, expiration date 
for the amendments to Sec. Sec.  1146.1, 1146.102, 1146.106, and the 
addition of part 1147, published September 1, 2021, at 86 FR 48887, is 
removed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy Donations Program (DDP) was 
implemented on September 1, 2021, through an interim final rule (86 FR 
48887). The final rule of August 25, 2023 (88 FR 57861), finalized and 
made minor changes to the provisions of the DDP codified at 7 CFR part 
1147. The final rule of August 25, 2023, also further amended the 
provisions of the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program (MDRP), which was 
established in 2021 (84 FR 46658), and amended in 2021 (86 FR 48897) to 
better coordinate with the DDP. Both donation programs provide for 
reimbursement of certain costs for donations of milk and dairy products 
and help reduce food waste.
    The DDP and the 2021 amendments to MDRP were set to expire 
September 1, 2023. However, AMS determined to retain both programs as 
established and amended and to further amend certain provisions of both 
parts. The final rule of August 25, 2023, made further amendments to 
both parts and removed expiration of the DDP provisions, but failed to 
remove expiration of the 2021 amendments to the MDRP. This document 
corrects that oversight.
