Conservation Security Program

The Conservation Security Program (CSP) is authorized by Title XII, Chapter 2, Subchapter A, of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers CSP. Under CSP, NRCS is authorized to provide financial and technical assistance to owners and operators of agricultural operations to promote conservation and improvement of the quality of soil, water, air, energy, plant and animal life, and other conservation purposes. NRCS is interested in obtaining public input before developing a proposed regulation. This advance notice is intended to give the public the opportunity to comment on key issues that have been raised regarding the implementation of the program. These comments will help NRCS in the agency's development of a proposed rule. NRCS intends to publish the proposed rule in 2003 and therefore has narrowed the comment period for this advance notice to 30 days. The public will have another opportunity to provide input during the comment period for the proposed rule prior to NRCS publishing a final rule for the program.
