20.44 Transfers.
(a) Transfers to pool plants.
Skim milk or butterfat transferred in the form of a fluid milk product or a bulk fluid cream product from a pool plant or a pool unit to another pool plant shall be classified as Class I-A milk unless the operators of both plants request the same classification in another class. In either case, the classification of such transfers shall be subject to the following conditions:
(1) The skim milk or butterfat classified in each class be limited to the amount of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, remaining in such class at the transferee-plant after the computations pursuant to section 20.45(a)(16) of this Part and the corresponding step of section 20.45(b) of this Part. The amount of skim milk or butterfat classified in each class shall include the assigned utilization of skim milk or butterfat in transfers of concentrated fluid milk products;
(2) If the transferor-plant received during the month other source milk to be allocated pursuant to section 20.45(a)(7) of this Part or the corresponding step of section 20.45(b) of this Part, the skim milk or butterfat so transferred shall be classified so as to allocate the least possible Class I utilization to such other source milk; and
(3) If the transferor-handler received during the month other source milk to be allocated pursuant to section 20.45(a)(12) or (14) of this Part or the corresponding steps of section 20.45(b) of this Part, the skim milk or butterfat so transferred, up to the total of the skim milk and butterfat, respectively, in such receipts of other source milk, shall not be classified as Class I milk to a greater extent than would be the case if the other source milk had been received at the transferee-plant.
(b) Transfers to other order plants.
Skim milk or butterfat transferred in the form of a fluid milk product or a bulk fluid cream product from a pool plant to an other order plant shall be classified in the following manner:
(1) if transferred as packaged fluid milk products, classification shall be in the classes (either Class I-A, II or III) to which allocated as a fluid milk product under the other order;
(2) if transferred in bulk form, classification shall be in the classes to which allocated under the other order (including allocation under the conditions set forth in paragraph [3] of this subdivision);
(3) if the operators of both the transferor and the transferee plants so request in the reports of receipts and utilization filed with their respective market administrators, transfers in bulk form shall be classified as Class II or Class III milk to the extent of such utilization available for such classification pursuant to the allocation provisions of the other order;
(4) if information concerning the classes to which such transfers were allocated under the other order is not available to the market administrator for the purpose of establishing classification under this paragraph, classification shall be as Class I-A, subject to adjustment at a later date;
(5) for purposes of this paragraph, if the other order provides for a different number of classes of utilization than is provided for under this Part, skim milk or butterfat allocated to a class consisting primarily of fluid milk products shall be classified as Class I-A milk, and skim milk or butterfat allocated to the other classes shall be classified as Class III milk; and
(6) if the form in which any fluid milk product that is transferred to an other order plant is not defined as a fluid milk product under such other order, classification under this paragraph shall be in accordance with the provisions of section 20.41 of this Part.
(c) Transfers to producer-handlers.
Skim milk or butterfat in the following forms that is transferred from a pool plant to a producer-handler under this or any other Federal order shall be classified:
(1) as Class I-A milk, if transferred in the form of a fluid milk product; and
(2) in accordance with the utilization assigned to it by the market administrator, if transferred in the form of a bulk fluid cream product. For this purpose, the transferee's utilization of skim milk and butterfat in each class, in series beginning with Class III, shall be assigned to the extent possible to its receipts of skim milk and butterfat, respectively, in bulk fluid cream products, pro rata to each source.
(d) Transfers to other nonpool plants.
Skim milk or butterfat transferred in the following forms from a pool plant or a pool unit to a nonpool plant that is not another order plant or a producer-handler plant shall be classified:
(1) as Class I-A milk, if transferred in the form of a packaged fluid milk product; and
(2) as Class I-A milk, if transferred in the form of a bulk fluid milk product or a bulk fluid cream product, unless the following conditions apply:
(i) The transferring handler claims classification pursuant to the assignment set forth in paragraph (3) of this subdivision in the handler's report submitted to the market administrator pursuant to section 20.30 of this Part for the month within which such transaction occurred;
(ii) The operator of such transferee plant maintains books and records showing the utilization of all skim milk and butterfat received at such plant which are made available if requested by the market administrator for the purpose of verification;
(iii) In determining the nonpool plant's utilization for purposes of this section, any fluid milk products and bulk fluid cream products transferred from such nonpool plant to a second nonpool plant shall be classified pursuant to the same assignment procedure with respect to receipts and utilization at such second nonpool plant, except that classification of such transfers in Class I-A and I-B shall not be less than the quantities which would be assigned to those classes if the transfer of such products had been directly from a pool plant or pool unit.
(3) Skim milk and butterfat so transferred shall be classified on the basis of the following assignment of utilization at the transferee plant pursuant to subparagraph (2)(ii) of this subdivision:
(i) Packaged receipts of fluid milk products from Federal order sources shall first be assigned to route disposition in Federal order marketing areas (assigning receipts to sales in the same market to the extent possible) and any residual shall be assigned to Class I-B route-sales.
(ii) Such bulk transfers and other bulk receipts of fluid milk products at such transferee plant from pool plants and units and from other order plants shall next be assigned to any remaining route disposition in any Federal order marketing area. For this purpose receipts from each Federal order market shall first be assigned to remaining route sales in such marketing area and any remainder of such receipts shall be prorated with all Federal order receipts to remaining route disposition in all Federal order marketing areas.
(iii) Receipts from dairy farmers shall then be assigned to any remaining route sales in the marketing area.
(iv) Remaining receipts from dairy farmers and other unregulated other source receipts (excluding opening inventory) in the form of fluid milk products shall be assigned pro rata to Class I-B, Class II and Class III utilization at such plant to the extent of such utilization available at such plant and any remainder of such receipts shall be assigned pro rata to Class I-A bulk sales to plants regulated under this order and Class I bulk sales to plants regulated under other orders.
(v) Receipts of bulk fluid cream products from plants defined pursuant to section 20.8(b) and (d) of this Part shall be assigned pro rataamong such plants to any remaining Class II and Class III utilization on a pro rata basis, then to any remaining Class I-A disposition and finally any Class I-B disposition.
(vi) Any remaining receipts of fluid milk products or bulk fluid cream products being assigned pursuant to this paragraph shall be assigned pro rata with remaining receipts from other order plants, first to remaining Class I-A utilization, then to Class I-B utilization, then to Class II utilization, and finally to Class III utilization at such plant: provided, that if on inspection of the books and records of such plant the market administrator finds that there is insufficient utilization to cover such receipts, the remainder shall be classified as Class I-A.
(vii) Any remaining Class I-A route disposition in any Federal marketing area shall be subject to the pricing specified in section 20.60(d)(2) of this Part.
