§ 1062.42 Assignment of shrinkage.

The market administrator shall allocate shrinkage over a handler's receipts at each pool plant as follows:

(a) Compute the total shrinkage of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, for each handler at each plant; and

(v) If any skim milk or butterfat is transferred to a second nonpool plant under this paragraph the same conditions of audit, classification, and allocation shall apply; and

(e) As follows, if transferred or diverted to an other order plant in excess

of receipts from such plant in the same category as described in subparagraph (1), (2), or (3) of this paragraph:

§ 1062.60 (b);

(iv) Receipts of reconstituted skimi milk in filled milk from unregulated supply plants; and

(v) Receipts of reconstituted skim milk in filled milk from other order plants which are regulated under an order providing for individual handler pooling to the extent that reconstituted skim milk is allocated to Class I at the transferor plant;

(i) The pounds of skim milk in receipts of fluid milk products from an unregulated supply plant that were not subtracted pursuant to subparagraph (3) (iv) of this paragraph;

(a) For which the handler requests Class II milk utilization; or

(b) Which are in excess of the pounds of skim milk determined by multiplying the pounds of skim milk remaining in Class I milk by 1.25 and subtracting the sum of the pounds of skim milk in producer milk, receipts from other pool plants and receipts in bulk from other order plants, that were not subtracted pursuant to subparagraph (3) (v) of this paragraph; and

(ii) Receipts of fluid milk products in bulk from an other order plant, that were not subtracted pursuant to subparagraph (3) (v) of this paragraph, in excess of similar transfers to such plant, if Class II milk utilization was requested by the operator of such plant and the handler;

(i) In series beginning with Class II milk, the pounds determined by multiplying the pounds of such receipts by the larger of the percentage of estimated Class II milk utilization of skim milk announced for the month by the market administrator pursuant to § 1062.22 (1) or the percentage that Class II milk utilization remaining is of the total remaining utilization of skim milk of the handler;

(ii) From Class I milk, the remaining pounds of such receipts; and

(iii) The quantity of skim milk, if any, subtracted pursuant to subdivision (ii) of this subparagraph shall be assigned pro rata to the receipts from other order plants under market pool orders and under handler pool orders which were assigned pursuant to subdivisions (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph (the skim milk subtracted pursuant to subdivision (i) of this subparagraph shall be subject to the same proration);

(9) Subtract from the pounds of skim milk remaining in each class the pounds of skim milk received in fluid milk products transferred or diverted from pool plants of other handlers (or other pool plants, if applicable) according to the classification assigned pursuant to § 1062.44(a); and
