Bergland initially had set July 14 as a deadline for public comment on regulations for operating the program. The date was later pushed back to Aug. 1, and Bergland yesterday announced another two week delay. , , r Officials said the second delay was granted at the request of a corn refining industry representative so his group s comments could be held back to await “possible developments in Congress and the administration. The “possible developments” included the fact that a Senate- House conference committee currently is considering a House- approved plan which would effectively shelve the administration pro gram by substituting a different system. The House plan, instead of allowing market prices to fluctuate freely and giving direct federal subsidy payments to growers and processors, would put a 14 cent a pound floor under the market price of sugar. Another factor involved is the Agriculture Department’s currently-pending request for a Justice Department ruling on whether the proposed direct subsidy payments to growers and pro cessors would be legal. 4103 S.
