Abstract: The primary objective of

American people and the farming and
ranching community to conserve and
sustain our natural resources. The
purpose of Long-Term Contracting
information collection is to provide for
programs to extend financial and
technical assistance through easements
and long-term contracts to landowners

making land use changes and installing
conservation measures and practices to
conserve, develop, and use the soil,
water, and related natural resources on

assistance is based on a conservation
plan or schedule of operations that is
made a part of an agreement, contract,
or easement for a period of time of no
less than 1 year and no greater than 10
years. Under the terms of the agreement,
the participant agrees to apply, or
arrange to apply, the conservation
treatment specified in the conservation
plan or schedule of operations. In return
for this agreement, Federal cost-share
payments are made to the land user, or
third party, upon successful application
of the conservation treatment. For
easement programs, NRCS purchases
from participants, a conservation
easement and provides for the
easement’s protection and management
for the life of the easement.
The information collected through
this package is used by NRCS to ensure
the proper use of program funds,
including application for participation,
easement acquisition, contract
implementation, conservation planning,
and application for payment.
NRCS will ask for a 3-year OMB
approval, with revision, within 60 days
of submitting the request.

economic agenda by promoting
innovation and competitiveness,
preparing American regions for growth
and success in the worldwide economy.
EDA will fulfill its mission by fostering
entrepreneurship, innovation and
productivity through investments in
infrastructure development, capacity
building and business development in
order to attract private capital
investments and higher-skill, higherwage jobs to regions experiencing
substantial and persistent economic
distress. In order to administer and
monitor its economic development
programs and its Trade Adjustment
