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 §§ 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.
