The purchase prices shall be sufficient to enable plants of average efficiency to pay producers, on average, a price that is not less than the rate of price support for milk in effect under subsection (b). **(d) Special rule for butter and nonfat dry milk purchase prices** (1) **Allocation of purchase prices** — The Secretary may allocate the rate of price support between the purchase prices for nonfat dry milk and butter in a manner that will result in the lowest level of expenditures by the Commodity Credit Corporation or achieve such other objectives as the Secretary considers appropriate. Not later than 10 days after making or changing an allocation, the Secretary shall notify the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate of the allocation. [Section 553 of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section553&num=0&edition=prelim) shall not apply with respect to the implementation of this section.

(2) **Exception** — This subsection shall not apply with respect to a producer for a particular calendar year if the producer has already received a refund under section 204(h) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 for the same fiscal year before the effective date of this section. (3) **Treatment of refund** — A refund under this subsection shall not be considered as any type of price support or payment for purposes of sections 3811 and 3821 of title 16. **(f) Commodity Credit Corporation** The Secretary shall carry out the program authorized by this section through the Commodity Credit Corporation. **(g) Omitted** **(h) Period of effectiveness** This section (other than subsection (g)) shall be effective only during the period beginning on the first day of the first month beginning after April 4, 1996, and ending on May 31, 2002. The program authorized by this section shall terminate on May 31, 2002, and shall be considered to have expired notwithstanding [section 907 of title 2](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title2-section907&num=0&edition=prelim).

**(a) In general** For any budget year, the baseline refers to a projection of current-year levels of new budget authority, outlays, revenues, and the surplus or deficit into the budget year and the outyears based on laws enacted through the applicable date. **(b) Direct spending and receipts** For the budget year and each outyear, the baseline shall be calculated using the following assumptions: (1) **In general** — Laws providing or creating direct spending and receipts are assumed to operate in the manner specified in those laws for each such year and funding for entitlement authority is assumed to be adequate to make all payments required by those laws. (2) **Exceptions** (A) (i) No program established by a law enacted on or before August 5, 1997, with estimated current year outlays greater than $50,000,000 shall be assumed to expire in the budget year or the outyears. The scoring of new programs with estimated outlays greater than $50,000,000 a year shall be based on scoring by the Committees on Budget or OMB, as applicable. OMB, CBO, and the Budget Committees shall consult on the scoring of such programs where there are differences between CBO and OMB.
