§ 1811. Rulemaking procedure
Before promulgation of any regulations establishing a compact over-order price or
Commission marketing order, including any provision with respect to milk supply under
subsection 1809(f), or amendment thereof, as provided in Article IV, the Commission
shall conduct an informal rulemaking proceeding to provide interested persons with
an opportunity to present data and views. Such rulemaking proceeding shall be governed
by section four of the federal Administrative Procedure Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. § 553). In addition, the Commission shall, to the extent practicable, publish notice of
rulemaking proceedings in the official register of each participating state. Before
the initial adoption of regulations establishing a compact over-order price or a Commission
marketing order and thereafter before any amendment with regard to prices or assessments,
the Commission shall hold a public hearing. The Commission may commence a rulemaking
proceeding on its own initiative or may, in its sole discretion, act upon the petition
of any person including individual milk producers, any organization of milk producers
or handlers, general farm organizations, consumer or public interest groups, and local,
state, or federal officials. (Added 1993, No. 57, § 1, eff. June 3, 1993.)
