Abstract
On September 1, 2021, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) amended the provisions of the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program through September 1, 2023, and added regulations for the Dairy Donation Program, on an interim basis, set to expire September 1, 2023. On August 24, 2023, AMS published a final rule further amending the provisions of both programs and removing the expiration date for the Dairy Donation Program. However, we failed to formally adopt the interim provisions, remove the expiration of the amendments to the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program, and list the removal of both expirations in the DATES section of the preamble. This final rule corrects that oversight.

Dairy Donation Program
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule; removal of expiration date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 1, 2021, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)
amended the provisions of the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program
through September 1, 2023, and added regulations for the Dairy Donation
Program, on an interim basis, set to expire September 1, 2023. On
August 24, 2023, AMS published a final rule further amending the
provisions of both programs and removing the expiration date for the
Dairy Donation Program. However, we failed to formally adopt the
interim provisions, remove the expiration of the amendments to the Milk
Donation Reimbursement Program, and list the removal of both
expirations in the DATES section of the preamble. This final rule
corrects that oversight.
DATES: Effective August 31 2023, the September 1, 2023, expiration date
for the amendments to Sec. Sec. 1146.1, 1146.102, 1146.106, and the
addition of part 1147, published September 1, 2021, at 86 FR 48887, is
removed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy Donations Program (DDP) was
implemented on September 1, 2021, through an interim final rule (86 FR
48887). The final rule of August 25, 2023 (88 FR 57861), finalized and
made minor changes to the provisions of the DDP codified at 7 CFR part
1147. The final rule of August 25, 2023, also further amended the
provisions of the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program (MDRP), which was
established in 2021 (84 FR 46658), and amended in 2021 (86 FR 48897) to
better coordinate with the DDP. Both donation programs provide for
reimbursement of certain costs for donations of milk and dairy products
and help reduce food waste.
The DDP and the 2021 amendments to MDRP were set to expire
September 1, 2023. However, AMS determined to retain both programs as
established and amended and to further amend certain provisions of both
parts. The final rule of August 25, 2023, made further amendments to
both parts and removed expiration of the DDP provisions, but failed to
remove expiration of the 2021 amendments to the MDRP. This document
corrects that oversight.
