refunded to producers who meet the following criteria:

milk shipped for which no payment was received. If partial payment
was received the producer shall receive a refund of the fees paid on
milk for which payment was not received.
(c) In lieu of payment to the producer, the refund shall be paid
to an entity which markets milk or otherwise acts on behalf of a
producer who would otherwise qualify for the refund under subdivision
(a) if that entity demonstrates to the satisfaction of the director
that it paid the fees for the producer.
(d) If a producer, or an entity referred to in subdivision (c),
subsequently receives full or partial payment for milk for which fees
have been refunded, the producer or entity, as the case may be,
shall repay the fees in an amount proportionate to the portion of
milk for which payment has been received.
(e) Refunds shall not be made pursuant to this section if the
refund would cause a producer to incur an additional assessment
obligation to the National Milk Promotion Program.
(f) The director shall adopt procedures for refunding fees in
accordance with this section. Those procedures shall not be subject
to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division
