Publication ID: Spring 2011

Title: Conservation Compliance
Abstract: This rule will amend the Conservation Compliance regulations as required by the 2008 Farm Bill. The rule will implement two primary changes. Other minor technical corrections and updates will be included. The primary changes specify who must concur with approval of good faith determinations and the introduction of the graduated payment penalty for producers who receive a good faith determination. The 2008 Farm Bill requires an administrative review and concurrence of the FSA County Committee good faith relief determination. It also requires USDA to reduce producer program benefits based upon the seriousness of highly erodible land violations when a good faith determination is made in favor of the producer.
