Title: Long-Term Contracting.
OMB Number: 0578–0013.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three
years from approval date.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of
NRCS is to work in partnership with the
American people and the farming and
ranching community to protect,
conserve and sustain our nation’s
natural resources on privately owned
land. The purpose of the LongTerm
Contracting information collection is to
allow for programs to provide Federal
technical and financial cost-sharing
assistance through long term contracts
to eligible producers, landowners, and
entities. These long-term contracts
provide for making land use changes
and installing conservation measures
and practices to protect, conserve,
develop, and use the soil, water, and
related natural resources on private
lands. Under the terms of the agreement,
the participant agrees to apply, or
arrange to apply, the conservation
treatment specified in the conservation

plan. In return for this agreement,
Federal financial assistance payments
are made to the land user, or third party,
upon successful application of the
conservation treatment. Additionally,
NRCS purchases easements for the longterm protection of the property and
provides for the protection and
management of the property for the life
of the easement.
The information collected through
this package is used by NRCS to ensure
the proper use of program funds. The
conservation programs in this
information collection that are subject to
the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act are listed in Table A. No
changes or adjustments are proposed at
15885
this time, this notice is limited to the
request for an extension of the currently
approved information collection
package used by NRCS for Long-Term
Contracting for the programs listed in
Table A. Table B shows the burden for
those programs subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork

Emergency Conservation Program
(ECP) (7 CFR part 701).

USDA Farm Service Agency’s ECP provides emergency funding and technical assistance for farmers and
ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters and for carrying out emergency water
conservation measures in periods of severe drought. Funding for ECP is appropriated by Congress.
The EWP was initiated in 1950 and is administered by NRCS. It provides technical and financial assistance to local institutions for the removal of storm and flood debris from stream channels and for the restoration of stream channels and levees to reduce the threat to life and property. The program also provides for establishing permanent easements in floodplains with private landowners.
HFRP is a voluntary program established for the purpose of restoring and enhancing forest ecosystems to:
(1) Promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species; (2) improve biodiversity; and (3) enhance carbon sequestration. The HFRP was signed into law as part of the Healthy Forests Restoration
Act of 2003 and amended in 2008. The Agricultural Act of 2014 made minor changes to HFRP land eligibility and funding.
The RC&D was initiated in 1962 and was administered by NRCS. Through this program, NRCS assisted
multi-county areas in enhancing conservation, water quality, wildlife habitat, recreation, and rural development. The R&D Program provided technical and limited financial assistance for the planning and installation of approved projects.
WPFPP was initiated in 1954 and is administered by NRCS. It assists State and local units of government
in flood prevention, watershed protection, and water management. Part of this effort involves the establishment of conservation practices on private lands to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and runoff.
