Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

(a) In addition to the fixed fee imposed under § 150.11 (relating to fixed fees), a milk dealer that was licensed for the entire calendar year preceding license renewal shall pay an annual hundredweight fee as set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2).

(1) For milk for which the Board has fixed a minimum wholesale or retail price, received, produced or brought into this Commonwealth during the calendar year preceding the period for which the license is issued, the fee is $.075 per hundredweight.

(2) For milk for which the Board has not fixed a minimum wholesale or retail price, received, produced or brought into this Commonwealth during the calendar year preceding the period for which the license is issued, the fee is $.0071 per hundredweight.

(b) In addition to the fixed fee imposed under § 150.11, a milk dealer that was not licensed for the entire calendar year preceding license application or renewal shall pay a monthly hundredweight fee as set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2). Monthly payments shall continue until the milk dealer has been licensed for an entire calendar year and for each month thereafter until the next license year begins. Annual payments shall then commence under subsection (a).

(1) For milk for which the Board has fixed a minimum wholesale or retail price, received, produced or brought into this Commonwealth during the preceding month, the fee is $.075 per hundredweight.

(2) For milk for which the Board has not fixed a minimum wholesale or retail price, received, produced or brought into this Commonwealth during the preceding month, the fee is $.0071 per hundredweight.

(c) In computing hundredweight fees under subsections (a) and (b), the Board will ascertain and fix the fluid milk equivalent of milk other than fluid milk by dividing the pounds of butterfat in cream by 3.5 and the pounds of nonfat solids in condensed and concentrated milk by 8.8. For farm-separated sour cream used exclusively in making butter to be marketed or ultimately sold as such, the Board will compute the total quantity of milk based on pounds of butterfat or sour cream rather than on the fluid milk equivalent.

(d) Milk that was purchased by a milk dealer located in or outside this Commonwealth from an out-of-State producer, and was diverted to an out-of-State milk dealer, is not subject to a hundredweight fee. As used in this subsection, "diverted" means that the purchasing milk dealer took possession of producer milk at the farm, from which location it was delivered to another milk dealer without entering the purchasing milk dealer's plant.

The provisions of this §150.12 amended under the Milk Marketing Fee Act (31 P.S. § § 700k-1-700k-10.1).
