SUMMARY: This action terminates the proceeding that was initiated to
consider a proposal to increase the pool supply plant shipping
percentage of the Iowa milk order. The revision was requested by
Anderson-Erickson Dairy Company of Des Moines, Iowa, a proprietary
distributing plant that is regulated under the order, because the
handler believed that it would have difficulty obtaining an adequate
supply of milk for fluid use. According to Anderson-Erickson, a supply
of milk has been made available, and the proposed revision will be
unnecessary. Accordingly, this proceeding is hereby terminated.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Constance M. Brenner, Marketing
Specialist, USDA/AMS/Dairy Division, Order Formulation Branch, Room
2968, South Building, P.O. Box 96456, Washington DC 20090-6456.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior document in this proceeding: Notice of
Proposed Revision: Issued November 21, 1994; published November 23,
1994 (59 FR 60335).
This termination of proceeding is issued pursuant to the provisions
of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7
U.S.C. 601-674). This proceeding was initiated by a notice of
rulemaking published in the Federal Register on November 23, 1994 (59
FR 60335), concerning a proposed revision of certain provisions of the
order regulating the handling of milk in the Iowa marketing area. The
proposal would have increased the pool supply plant shipping percentage
of the order pursuant to Sec. 1079.7(b)(1). Interested parties were
invited to comment on the proposal in writing by November 30, 1994. Two
comments were received.

Statement of Consideration

Comments were submitted by Anderson-Erickson Dairy (A-E), the fluid
milk distributing plant operator who requested the proposed increase in
the pool supply plant shipping percentage for the months of December
1994 through March 1995. According to the comments, a committed supply
of milk for the proposed period was obtained after the proposed
revision was issued. A-E, therefore, considers there to be no need to
revise the pool supply plant shipping percentage from 20 percent to 30
percent of receipts for the proposed period. Swiss Valley Farms, Co., a
cooperative association that is a milk handler under the Iowa order,
submitted comments that favored the proposed revision, with no reason
given for supporting it.
In view of the fact that an adequate supply of milk appears to have
been obtained by Anderson-Erickson Dairy, there is no reason to proceed
with A-E's request to revise the pool supply plant shipping percentage
for Order 79, and, therefore, the proceeding is terminated.
