Regulations establishing a compact over-order price or a Commission marketing order may contain, but shall not be limited to, any of the following:
(1) Provisions classifying milk in accordance with the form in which or purpose for which it is used, or creating a flat pricing program.
(2) With respect to a Commission marketing order only, provisions establishing or providing a method for establishing separate minimum prices for each use classification prescribed by the Commission, or a single minimum price for milk purchased from producers or associations of producers.
(3) With respect to an over-order minimum price, provisions establishing or providing a method for establishing such minimum price for Class I milk.
(4) Provisions for establishing either an over-order price or a Commission marketing order may make use of any reasonable method for establishing such price or prices including flat pricing and formula pricing. Provision may also be made for location adjustments, zone differentials, and for competitive credits with respect to regulated handlers who market outside the regulated area.
(5) Provisions for the payment to all producers and associations of producers delivering milk to all handlers of uniform prices for all milk so delivered, irrespective of the uses made of such milk by the individual handler to whom it is delivered, or for the payment of producers delivering milk to the same handler of uniform prices for all milk delivered by them.
(A) With respect to regulations establishing a compact over-order price, the Commission may establish one equalization pool within the regulated area for the sole purpose of equalizing returns to producers throughout the regulated area.
(B) With respect to any Commission marketing order, as defined in section 1802 of this compact, subdivision (9), which replaces one or more terminated federal orders or state dairy regulation, the marketing area of now separate state or federal orders shall not be merged without the affirmative consent of each state, voting through its delegation, which is partly or wholly included within any such new marketing area.

(7) Provisions specially governing the pricing and pooling of milk handled by partially regulated plants.
