Milk in the Northeast and Other Marketing Areas; Order Amending Orders
Document Number: 06-4040
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-05-01
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
This final rule amends the current ten Federal milk marketing orders issued under the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (AMAA) to reflect recent amendments to the AMAA. The Milk Regulatory Equity Act of 2005, which was signed into law on April 11, 2006, amended the AMAA to ensure regulatory equity between and among dairy farmers and handlers for sales of packaged fluid milk in Federal milk marketing order areas and into certain non-Federally regulated milk marketing areas from Federal milk marketing areas.
