Rescission of the Dairy Donation Program

Document 2025-09582 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Agriculture in the Federal Register on May 29, 2025, with an effective date of July 28, 2025. This action removes from AMS' regulations the implementing regulations for the Dairy Donation Program and makes conforming amendments to the implementing regulations for the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program. The Dairy Donation Program is no longer funded by Congress; therefore, AMS has no authority to take further action under the Dairy Donation Program and its implementing regulations are obsolete. Removing the regulations will provide transparency and may reduce confusion for dairy processors and other stakeholders.
