milk), including nonfat components, and butterfat in milk of a producer 
that is:
    (a) Received by the operator of a pool plant directly from a 
producer or a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c). All milk received 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be priced at the location of the plant 
where it is first physically received;
    (b) Received by a handler described in Sec. 1000.9(c) in excess of 
the quantity delivered to pool plants;
    (c) Diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant. Milk so 
diverted shall be priced at the location of the plant to which diverted;

[[Page 129]]

    (1) Milk of a dairy farmer shall not be eligible for diversion 
unless at least one day's production of such dairy farmer is physically 
received as producer milk at a pool plant during the first month the 
dairy farmer is a producer. If a dairy farmer loses producer status 
under the order in this part (except as a result of a temporary loss of 
Grade A approval or as a result of the handler of the dairy farmer's 
milk failing to pool the milk under any order), the dairy farmer's milk 
shall not be eligible for diversion unless at least one day's production 
of the dairy farmer has been physically received as producer milk at a 
pool plant during the first month the dairy farmer is re-associated with 
the market;
    (2) The quantity of milk diverted by a handler described in Sec. 
1000.9(c) may not exceed 90 percent of the producer milk receipts 
reported by the handler pursuant to Sec. 1030.30(c) provided that not 
less than 10 percent of such receipts are delivered to plants described 
in Sec. 1030.7(c)(1)(i) through (iii). These percentages are subject to 
any adjustments that may be made pursuant to Sec. 1030.7(g); and
    (3) The quantity of milk diverted to nonpool plants by the operator 
of a pool plant described in Sec. 1030.7(a) or (b) may not exceed 90 
percent of the Grade A milk received from dairy farmers (except dairy 
farmers described in Sec. 1030.12(b)) including milk diverted pursuant 
to Sec. 1030.13; and
    (4) Diverted milk shall be priced at the location of the plant to 
which diverted.
    (e) Producer milk shall not include milk of a producer that is 
subject to inclusion and participation in a marketwide equalization pool 
under a milk classification and pricing program imposed under the 
authority of a State government maintaining marketwide pooling of 
returns.
