Agricultural Marketing Service March 30, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Milk in the Florida Marketing Area; Decision on Proposed Amendments to Marketing Agreement and Order
Document Number: 2018-06286
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-03-30
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
This document proposes to adopt, on an emergency basis, amendments to the Florida Federal milk marketing order (FMMO) that would implement a temporary assessment on Class I milk. Revenues collected through the assessment would be disbursed to handlers and producers who incurred extraordinary marketing losses and expenses due to Hurricane Irma, which caused considerable market disruptions in September 2017.
Peanut Promotion, Research, and Information Order; Change in Assessment Rate Computation
Document Number: 2018-06283
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-03-30
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
This proposal invites comments on changing the assessment rate computation under the Agricultural Marketing Service's (AMS) regulations regarding a national research and promotion program for U.S. peanuts. This proposal would change the basis for assessment under the regulations from value to volume (per ton). Two rates of assessment would be established instead of using a formula currently specified in the regulations. This proposal would also update the definition for ``fiscal year'' specified in the regulations to reflect current practices.
