U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) Talent for Growth Task Force Solicitation of Nominations for Membership, 10085-10086 [2023-03390]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2023 / Notices systematically target conservation efforts to improve agricultural and forest productivity which enhances wildlife habitat on working landscapes. Target species are used as barometers for success because their habitat needs are representative of healthy, functioning ecosystems where conservation efforts benefit a much broader suite of species. NRCS recognizes that water availability is a need for wildlife as well as agriculture, and partners help NRCS to identify mutually beneficial solutions for both. Framework for Conservation In January 2021, NRCS convened a working group of State and national subject matter experts to review input received from the public listening session and written comment period. Based on the working group’s analysis, NRCS developed a western-focused strategic framework to address challenges posed by water scarcity and guide program delivery at the State and local level. Referred to as NRCS’s Western Water and Working Lands Framework for Conservation Action, the broad planning guidance will help NRCS leaders in each State improve their business plans to better address cross-cutting issues related to protecting water resources in their State. The first step of developing the new framework was completed in the summer of 2021 when State Conservationists briefed State Technical Committees with a summary of input received during the listening session and provided them an opportunity to advise further. NRCS experts reviewed all the input received and formulated strategies for increasing conservation opportunities that address challenges related to managing water resources across western landscapes. The next step will be for NRCS leaders in each State to use the framework to develop targets for increased conservation actions over the next few years.
