Abstract: The Federal Import Milk Act (FIMA) prohibits the imporation of milk and cream into the United States unless the shipper holds a valid Import Milk permit from the Food and Drug Administration. The act requires that all cows be healthy and that the dairy farm and processing plant be in good sanitary condition. The purpose of the collection is to ensure compliance with FIMA. Respondents are foreign dairy farms and plants engaged in the importation of milk and/or cream into the United States.
