Notice of 60-day Public Comment Period on Rule
Published in Federal Register
NRCS Chief Arlen Lancaster announced the release of the interim final
rule for State Technical Committees, which amended requirements
regarding the composition and responsibilities of these advisory
committees nationwide. The 2008 Farm Bill expands agricultural and
forestry involvement in the committees, expands the committees’
authority to review local working groups’ efforts to address state
program priorities, and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
standardize committee operations nationwide. The interim final rule is
available for public comment. These comments must be submitted by Jan.
26, 2009.

The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many. It is
shared between NRCS employees and partners who help people help the
land. And it is shared by the landowners with whom we work. Our passion
is manifested through the benefits derived from stewardship of private
lands—benefits we all enjoy, such as cleaner water and air, improved
soils and abundant wildlife habitat.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation made possible
through a shared purpose, a shared passion and a shared commitment to
conservation.
