III. Finding
Whether the major provisions of the order, other than those
fixing
minimum milk prices, are in the public interest and are reasonably
designed to achieve the purposes of the order.
The Compact Commission's responsibility to
consider the public
interest with respect to the non-price aspects of regulation are
evident in two areas: First, as required by Compact Article
IV, Section
9(f), the Commission has acted to insure that its regulation does not
create an incentive for dairy farmers to produce additional,
surplus
supplies of milk, and second, the Commission's regulation is uniform
and equitable and does not unduly distort traditional markets and
marketing channels.
