Title: Miscellaneous Conservation Provisions 
Abstract:

The final rule finalizes changes made by the interim rule in the regulations that are consistent with the changes made by the 2018 Farm Bill for several conservation programs. The NRCS regulations affected are: State Technical Committees, Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention, Healthy Forests Reserve Program, Technical Service Provider, and Voluntary Public Access-Habitat Incentives Program. The rule is necessary due to mandatory changes made by the 2018 Farm Bill to update the regulations to be consistent with the law. The final rule will address issues raised in the 17 comments received on the interim rule.
