    (a) Whenever required for the purpose of allocating receipts from 
plants regulated under other Federal orders pursuant to Sec.  
1000.44(a)(9) and the corresponding step of Sec.  1000.44(b), the market 
administrator shall estimate and publicly announce the utilization (to 
the nearest whole percentage) in Class I during the month of skim milk 
and butterfat, respectively, in producer milk of all handlers. The 
estimate shall be based upon the most current available data and shall 
be final for such purpose.
    (b) The market administrator shall report to the market 
administrators of other Federal orders as soon as possible after the 
handlers' reports of receipts and utilization are received, the class to 
which receipts from plants regulated under other Federal orders are 
allocated pursuant to Sec.  Sec.  1000.43(d) and 1000.44 (including any 
reclassification of inventories of bulk concentrated fluid milk 
products), and thereafter any change in allocation required to correct 
errors disclosed on the verification of such report.
    (c) The market administrator shall furnish each handler operating a 
pool plant and each handler described in Sec.  1135.11 of this chapter 
who has shipped fluid milk products or bulk fluid cream products to a 
plant fully regulated under another Federal order the class to which the 
shipments were allocated by the market administrator of the other 
Federal order on the basis of the report by the receiving handler and, 
as necessary, any changes in the allocation arising from the 
verification of such report.
    (d) The market administrator shall report to each cooperative 
association which so requests, the percentage of producer milk delivered 
by members of the association that was used in each class by each 
handler receiving the milk. For the purpose of this report, the milk so 
received shall be prorated to each class in accordance with the total 
utilization of producer milk by the handler.
