The increase in the established production history of the participating dairy operation will be determined on the basis of the national rolling herd average data for the current year in effect at the time of the intergenerational transfer and the quantity of the production history increase will be limited to an amount not more than 6 million pounds. The additional quantity of production history will receive coverage at the same elected coverage threshold and coverage percentage in effect for the participating dairy operation at the time the production history increase takes effect. Intergenerational transfers will not be allowed if the participating dairy operation's current annual production and the increase in herd size by the new member(s) is less than the operation's established production history.\n\n(1) The dairy operation must notify CCC of the intergenerational transfer within 60 days of the purchase of the cows by filing form CCC-800C at the County office.

Except that, new dairy operations, not in existence during the 2026 annual election period, that elect to participate in DMC according to \u00a7 1430.404(b), are eligible to receive the premium rate discount for locking coverage for the period beginning with the first available calendar year and ending in 2031, except that new dairy operations registering for DMC for the first time for coverage year 2031 and dairy operations that stop producing and marketing milk in 2026 that are registering for eligible months in 2031 are not eligible for the multi-year premium rate discount. All dairy operations that elect the lock-in option are subject to full participation in DMC at the same elected premium coverage levels and calculated premium for the duration of DMC according to \u00a7 1430.413.\n\n(k) Annual premium balances due to CCC from a participating dairy operation for a calendar year of coverage must be paid in full no later than September 1 of the applicable calendar year or within a grace period determined by the Deputy Administrator, if applicable.\n\n(l) The Deputy Administrator may waive the obligation to pay the premium, or refund the premium paid, of a participating dairy operation for a calendar year, for death, retirement, permanent dissolution of a participating dairy operation, or other circumstances determined by the Deputy Administrator. In these instances, the contract will be terminated immediately, except with respect to payments accrued to the benefit of the participating dairy operation under this subpart before such termination.\n\n(m) DMC administrative fees and premiums are required to be paid by a negotiable instrument satisfactory to FSA and made payable to CCC and either mailed to or provided in person to the administrative county office or other location designated by FSA."], ["7:7:10.1.2.2.20.4.330.9", 7, "Agriculture", "XIV", "B", "1430", "PART 1430\u2014DAIRY PRODUCTS", "D", "Subpart D\u2014Dairy Margin Coverage Program", "", "\u00a7 1430.408 [Reserved]", "CCC", "", "", "", ""]], "truncated": false, "filtered_table_rows_count": 67, "expanded_columns": [], "expandable_columns": [], "columns": ["section_id", "title_number", "title_name", "chapter", "subchapter", "part_number", "part_name", "subpart", "subpart_name", "section_number", "section_heading", "agency", "authority", "source_citation", "amendment_citations", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["section_id"], "units": {}, "query": {"sql": "select section_id, title_number, title_name, chapter, subchapter, part_number, part_name, subpart, subpart_name, section_number, section_heading, agency, authority, source_citation, amendment_citations, full_text from cfr_sections where \"part_number\" = :p0 order by section_id limit 101", "params": {"p0": "1430"}}, "facet_results": {"title_number": {"name": "title_number", "type": "column", "hideable": false, "toggle_url": "/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430", "results": [{"value": 7, "label": 7, "count": 58, "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&title_number=7", "selected": false}, {"value": 29, "label": 29, "count": 9, "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&title_number=29", "selected": false}], "truncated": false}, "agency": {"name": "agency", "type": "column", "hideable": false, "toggle_url": "/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430", "results": [{"value": "CCC", "label": "CCC", "count": 58, "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&agency=CCC", "selected": false}, {"value": "FMCS", "label": "FMCS", "count": 9, "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&agency=FMCS", "selected": false}], "truncated": false}, "part_number": {"name": "part_number", "type": "column", "hideable": false, "toggle_url": "/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430", "results": [{"value": "1430", "label": "1430", "count": 67, "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json", "selected": true}], "truncated": false}}, "suggested_facets": [{"name": "title_name", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=title_name"}, {"name": "chapter", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=chapter"}, {"name": "subchapter", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=subchapter"}, {"name": "part_name", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=part_name"}, {"name": "subpart", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=subpart"}, {"name": "subpart_name", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=subpart_name"}, {"name": "amendment_citations", "toggle_url": "https://www.pawtectors.org/openregs/cfr_sections.json?part_number=1430&_facet=amendment_citations"}], "next": null, "next_url": null, "private": false, "allow_execute_sql": true, "query_ms": 10.180361103266478, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
