USDA/NRCS RIN: 0578-AA48 Publication ID: Spring 2010 
Title: Technical Service Provider Assistance  
Abstract: Technical Service Provider assistance will allow producers to obtain technical services from the department of entities by a certification process. This process will distinguish between certification of an individual working under his or her own auspices and that of an organization such as a corporation or a public agency, which has individuals working on its behalf. Certification of an individual means the individual has the requisite education and technical expertise to perform the technical services. Certification of an entity or public agency means that the organization may receive payment for the services provided by individuals working under its auspices, but the work must be performed or warranted by certified individuals and the organization must assume the liability for the quality of work performed.
