AGENCY: SUMMARY: NRCS is providing public notice that the Secretary of Agriculture has determined the payments made under Pennsylvania’s Upper Makefield Township Riparian Restoration and Preservation Grant Program are primarily for the purpose of protecting or restoring the environment. NRCS was assigned technical and administrative responsibility for reviewing the Upper Makefield Township Riparian Restoration and Preservation Grant Program and making appropriate recommendations for the Secretary’s determination of primary purpose. This determination is in accordance with section 126 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (26 U.S.C. 126), and permits recipients of costshare payments to exclude from gross income to the extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Township Solicitor, Upper Makefield Township, 1076 Eagle Road, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940; or NRCS, Financial Assistance Programs Division, Post Office Box 2890, Washington, DC 20013. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Section 126(a)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, gross income does not include the ‘‘excludable portion’’ of payments received under any program of a State under which payments are made to individuals primarily for the purpose of protecting or restoring the environment. In general, a payment for selected conservation practices is exempt from Federal taxation, if it meets three tests: (1) Was for a capital expense; (2) does not substantially increase the operator’s annual income from the property for which it is made; and (3) the Secretary of Agriculture certified that the payment was made primarily for conserving soil and water resources, protecting or restoring the environment, improving forests, or providing habitat for wildlife. The Secretary of Agriculture evaluates a conservation program on the basis of criteria set forth in 7 CFR part 14, and makes a ‘‘primary purpose’’ determination for the payments made under the program.
