Title: Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) | |
Abstract:
Through the interim rule, NRCS established RCPP as a separate program as authorized by 2018 Farm Bill. RCPP was first authorized in the Agricultural Act of 2014 as a part of other NRCS programs to enhance conservation and restoration on a regional or watershed scale. The final rule finalizes the regulation as implemented by the interim rule. RCPP establishes coordination between NRCS and its partners to help producers and landowners increase the restoration and sustainable use of soil, water, and wildlife on a regional or watershed scale. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorizes RCPP and makes significant changes to how the program is funded, introduces RCPP contracts, changes the funding pool” mechanism, streamlines the program, allows project renewals, expands activity eligibility, and makes other changes. The final rule will address issues raised in the comments received on the interim rule.
