Sugar Determination 857.2, Amdt. 1
P art 857P uerto R ico DETERMINATION OF PROPORTIONATE SHARES
FOR FARMS FOR 1 9 4 9 - 5 0 CROP

Pursuant to the provisions of section 302 b of the Sugar Act of 1948, the De termination of Proportionate Shares for Sugarcane Farms in Puerto Rico for the 1949-50 Crop, issued June 21, 1949 as Part 857, 857.2 14 F. R. 3441, is hereby amended as follows :
1. The first sentence of paragraph a is amended by deleting the words raw value, as follows: and inserting in lieu thereof the following: 96 basis, inthe manner hereinafter provided, and such share shall be used on that basis until converted to its raw value equiv alent in accordance with paragraph h of this section for the purpose of com puting the payment for the farm.
2. Subparagraph 1 of paragraph a is amended by deleting the word and where it last appears therein, by deleting the period at the end of the paragraph, and by adding the following thereto: the foregoing amounts shall be expressed in terms of sugar, raw value, and by reducing the quotient by the percentage by which the total amount of sugar, 96 basis, produced in Puerto Rico from the last three crops is less than the raw value equivalent of such sugar.
3. Subparagraph 2 of paragraph a is amended by deleting the words raw value and inserting in lieu thereof 96 basis.
4. Subparagraph 3 of paragraph a is amended by inserting 96 basis, after the words amount of sugar recov erable, wherever they appear therein, and by deleting the words raw value and inserting in lieu thereof 96 basis.
5. Paragraph d is amended by in serting the words of sugar, 96 basis after the words short tons in the col umn headings of the table of shares and tolerances shown therein.
6. A new paragraph is added as fol lows;

h Sugar for payment. For the pur pose of determining payments pursuant to Title III of the Sugar Act, the propor tionate share established in accordance with the foregoing provisions and the amount of sugar recoverable, 96 basis, from sugarcane of the 1949-50 crop m ar keted from each farm shall be converted to raw value on the basis of the average polarization of the sugar produced from 1949-50 crop sugarcane at the mill or mills where the sugarcane was processed.
Such conversion shall be made in ac cordance with paragraph h of section 101 of the Sugar Act.
Statement of Bases and Considerations This amendment authorizes the estab lishment of proportionate shares initially in terms of sugar, 96 basis, and subse quently in terms of sugar, raw value, whereas the original determination pro vided for the use of raw value only. This change is made to facilitate the control of sugarcane marketings within the lim its of proportionate shares plus applica ble tolerances and to minimize the possi bility of non-compliance in this respect because of the production of sugar of relatively high polarization. Mill records for individual producers are maintained on a 96 basis and settlements between processors and producers are made on that basis in accordance with fair price determinations. _Since all Puerto Rican sugar mills customarily produce sugar polarizing above 96 degrees, the raw value equivalent of the sugar exceeds the 96
basis by about 0.8 percent as an average.
Under the amendment each producer who does not exceed his proportionate share as expressed in terms of sugar, 96
basis, plus the applicable tolerance, will automatically be in compliance on a raw value basis.
Proportionate shares for individual farms will be established on a 96 basis by applying to individual farm bases as computed in terms of sugar, raw value an adjustment factor which will not only provide for the desired general adjust ment in sugar production but will include a correction for the difference between the amount of sugar, 96 basis, and the raw value equivalent thereof for the last three Puerto Rican crops.
Since the act provides that payments shall be made on amounts of sugar, raw value, the share and the sugar produc tion for each farm will be converted from Continued on next page
