and has been determined to be a
“non-major” and thus legal action.
It will not be retroactive and
does not preempt any local laws,
unless local law is in conflict with
the rule. Also, administrative
actions must be exhausted before
anyone can file suit in court to stop
the rule.
Complete notice, of the suspen
sion of the rule mandating 40 per
cent or more of milk sold be used
for Class I purposes, has been pub
lished in the June 29,1993 (58 FR
34725) issue of the Federal
Register.
The change in. requirement
specifically means that, for six
months starting September, each
milk pool within the Middle Atlan
tic federal markting order will sell
at least 30 percent of its milk for
the top-paying Class I use, instead
of requiring each pool plant to sell
at least 40 percent for Class I.
What it means for the producer
is a larger market for the fylj and
