SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On March 11, 2019, AMS published a final rule amending the Class I skim milk price formula for milk pooled under the FMMO program (84 FR 8590). The amendments will be effective May 1, 2019. For clarification, as a result of this rule, the amended Class I skim milk price formula will apply to milk pooled on and after May 1, 2019. Therefore, the amended formula will be reflected in the May Advanced Class I skim milk price announced April 17, 2019. The final regulatory text also contained an incorrect section reference to § 1000.51(b) instead of § 1005.51(b), and did not include a rounding instruction in the calculation. This document provides technical corrections to the final regulations.
