  CHAPTER XIV--COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
 
PART 1430_DAIRY PRODUCTS--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart B_Milk Income Loss Contract Program
 
Sec.  1430.209  Proof of market loss production.

    (a) A dairy operation entering into a MILC must, based on 
instructions issued by the Deputy Administrator, provide adequate proof 
of the dairy operation's eligible production during the months of each 
fiscal year designated in the MILC. The dairy operation must also 
provide proof that the eligible production was commercially marketed 
during the months beginning October 1, 2005, and ending September 30, 
2007. Evidence of milk production claimed for payment shall be provided 
to CCC with supporting documentation under paragraph (b) of this 
section. All information provided is subject to verification, spot check 
and audit by FSA. Further verification information may be obtained from 
the dairy operation's milk handler or marketing cooperative if deemed 
necessary by CCC to verify provided information. Refusal to allow a 
representative of CCC or any other agency of the Department of 
Agriculture to verify any information provided will result in a 
determination of ineligibility for benefits under this subpart.
    (b) Eligible dairy operations marketing milk during the period 
specified in the MILC shall provide any available supporting documents 
from all producers in the dairy operation to assist CCC in verifying 
that the dairy operation produced and marketed milk commercially from 
the designated starting month and thereafter. Examples of supporting 
documentation include, but are not limited to: milk marketing payment 
stubs, tank records, milk handler records, daily milk marketings, copies 
of any payments received as compensation from other sources, or any 
other documents available to confirm the production and production 
history of the dairy operation. Producers may also be required to allow 
CCC to examine the herd of cattle as production evidence. If supporting 
documentation requested is not presented to CCC or FSA, the request for 
MILC benefits will be disapproved.
