    Producer-handler means a person who:
    (a) Operates a dairy farm and a distributing plant from which there 
is route disposition in the marketing area during the month;
    (b) Receives fluid milk from own farm production or milk that is 
fully subject to the pricing and pooling provisions of the order in this 
part or any other Federal order;
    (c) Receives at its plant or acquires for route disposition no more 
than 150,000 pounds of fluid milk products from handlers fully regulated 
under any Federal order. This limitation shall not apply if the 
producer-handler's own farm production is less than 150,000 pounds 
during the month;
    (d) Disposes of no other source milk as Class I milk except by 
increasing the nonfat milk solids content of the fluid milk products; 
and
    (e) Provides proof satisfactory to the market administrator that the 
care and management of the dairy animals and other resources necessary 
to produce all Class I milk handled (excluding receipts from handlers 
fully regulated under any Federal order) and the processing and 
packaging operations are the producer-handler's own enterprise and at 
its own risk.
    (f) Any producer-handler with Class I route dispositions and/or 
transfers of packaged fluid milk products in the marketing area 
described in Sec.  1131.2 of this chapter shall be subject to payments 
into the Order 1131 producer settlement fund on such dispositions 
pursuant to Sec.  1000.76(a) and payments into the Order 1131 
administrative fund provided such dispositions are less than three 
million pounds in the current month and such producer-handler had total 
Class I route dispositions and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk 
products from own farm production of three million pounds or more the 
previous month. If the producer-handler has Class I route dispositions 
and/or transfers of packaged fluid milk products into the marketing area 
described in Sec.  1131.2 of this chapter of three million pounds or 
more during the current month, such producer-handler shall be subject to 
the provisions described in Sec.  1131.7 of this chapter or 1000.76(a).
