Criteria for Chemical Linings and references were added. 430 Irrigation Pipeline (Code 430)— The title was changed from ‘‘Irrigation Water Conveyance, Pipeline, (various),’’ combining six previous separate standards for Aluminum Tubing (AA), Nonreinforced Concrete (CC), HighPressure, Underground Plastic (DD), Low-Pressure, Underground Plastic (EE), Steel (FF), and Reinforced Plastic Mortar (GG). The standard for AsbestosCement Pipe (BB) was deleted. Criteria in NEH–636, Chapter 52 ‘‘Structural Design of Flexible Conduits’’ are referenced.

Surface Drain (Code 607)—The title was changed from ‘‘Surface Drainage, Field Ditch.’’ Criteria for capacity was added, considerations expanded, and references were added. Surface Drainage, Main or Lateral (Code 608)—The text was streamlined and references were added. Roof Runoff Structure (Code 558)—No significant changes are proposed to this practice standard. NRCS reviews standards periodically to ensure they are still current; this was the situation for this standard. Surface Roughening (Code 609)—No significant technical changes are proposed to this practice standard; however, significant edits and grammatical changes have been made. The Purposes section has been edited for clarity, and as a result, the number of purposes has been reduced. However, the intent of the edits was to exclude previous purposes, just merge existing ones into more clearly worded statements. In the criteria section, procedure type narratives were removed. In the considerations section, additional considerations were added to address emergency tillage, the initial tillage operation, and the direction of tillage. Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, requires NRCS to make available for public review and comment all proposed revisions to conservation practice standards used to carry out the highly erodible land and wetland provisions of the law. For the next 30 VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:44 Apr 14, 2009 Jkt 217001 days, NRCS will receive comments relative to the proposed changes. Following that period, a determination will be made by NRCS regarding disposition of those comments, and a final determination of changes will be made. Signed in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2009.
