SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AMS announced changes made to the pricing provisions of the 11 FMMOs through a final rule published on January 17, 2025 (90 FR 6600). AMS now makes the following technical corrections to the differentials table in the final rule: amending the entry for Morgan County, OH, from “3.90” to “3.80” and removing the table entry for Shannon County, SD, in its entirety.
The recommended decision published July 15, 2024 (89 FR 57580), proposed the Class I differential for Morgan County, Ohio, be $4.00. Commenters to the recommended decision requested this county and four other Ohio counties be amended to $3.80 rather than $4.00. USDA agreed in its final decision published December 2, 2024 (89 FR 95466), that the differential for all five counties be set at $3.80. The four other Ohio counties were changed correctly. USDA inadvertently changed Morgan County, Ohio, to $3.90 instead of $3.80 in the final decision and final rule. This final rule corrects that error by amending the value shown on the table for Morgan County to read as “3.80.”
After Class I differentials were implemented during Order Reform on September 1, 1999 (64 FR 47898), the state of South Dakota renamed Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County. To show there was a change in the differential in the geographic county, USDA left Shannon County in the table and zeroed out the differential. The differential is now listed under Oglala Lakota County. As the previous Shannon County and differential are now listed as Oglala Lakota County, USDA is removing Shannon County from the differential table.
2. In § 1000.52 amend the table “Class I differential adjusted for location” by revising the entry for Morgan County, OH, and removing the entry for “Shannon County, SD” to read as follows:
