Title: ●Rescission of the Dairy Donation Program 
Abstract:

This rule removes from AMS’ regulations the implementing regulations for the Dairy Donation Program and makes conforming amendments to the implementing regulations for the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program.  The Dairy Donation Program is no longer funded by Congress; therefore, AMS has no authority to take further action under the Dairy Donation Program and its implementing regulations are obsolete.  Removing the regulations will provide transparency and may reduce confusion for dairy processors and other stake-holders.
