Sec.  1000.86  Deduction for marketing services.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each 
handler in making payments to producers for milk (other than milk of 
such handler's own production) pursuant to Sec.  --------.73 of each 
Federal milk order shall deduct an amount specified by the market 
administrator that is no more than 7 cents per hundredweight and shall 
pay the amount deducted to the market administrator not later than the 
payment receipt date specified under Sec.  --------.71 of each Federal 
milk order. The money shall be used by the market administrator to 
verify or establish weights, samples and tests of producer milk and 
provide market information for producers who are not receiving such 
services from a cooperative association. The services shall be performed 
in whole or in part by the market administrator or an agent engaged by 
and responsible to the market administrator.
    (b) In the case of producers for whom the market administrator has 
determined that a cooperative association is actually performing the 
services set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, each handler shall 
make deductions from the payments to be made to producers as may be 
authorized by the membership agreement or marketing contract between the 
cooperative association and the producers. On or before the 15th day 
after the end of the month (except as provided in Sec.  1000.90), such 
deductions shall be paid to the cooperative association rendering the 
services accompanied by a statement showing the amount of any deductions 
and the amount of milk for which the deduction was computed for each 
producer. These deductions shall be made in lieu of the deduction 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
