This tentative partial decision adopts, on an interim final and emergency basis, proposals that would amend certain features of the pooling standards and transportation credit provisions of the Upper Midwest (UMW) milk marketing order.

This decision requires determining if producers approve the issuance of the amended order on an interim basis.
