The Dairy Institute of California, which represents the state’s dairy processors, issued a brief statement today regarding the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) new “Preliminary Regulatory Impact Analysis,” which projects the impact of four proposals currently under review by the federal agency for structuring a Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) for the state’s dairy industry.
The proposals — and the agency’s preliminary analysis — are posted on the USDA’s website, which is located at www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/moa/dairy/ca.
Rachel Kaldor, the Dairy Institute’s executive director, said, “We are reviewing the Department’s analysis, which examines the myriad revenue and market impacts of the four very distinct proposals under consideration — particularly as the industry prepares for the first public hearing on the state FMMO next month.”
