    Posted prices for ungraded wool (per lb., greasy basis) for the week are: Region 1, $0.23; Region 2, $0.21; and Region 3, $0.19. The LDP rate for ungraded wool, therefore, is $0.19 per lb. greasy this week.
    These rates are used to determine the loan repayment rates for marketing assistance loans and to calculate loan deficiency payments.
