Notice is hereby given of the intention of NRCS to issue a series of new or revised conservation practice standards in its National Handbook of Conservation Practices. These standards include: ``Conservation Cover (Code 327)'', ``Contour Farming (Code 330)'', ``Contour Buffer Strips (Code 332)'', ``Critical Area Treatment (Code 342)'', ``Field Border (Code 386)'', ``Irrigation System, Tailwater Recovery (Code 447)'', ``Sinkhole and Sinkhole Area Treatment (Code 527)'', and ``Prescribed Grazing (Code 528).'' NRCS State Conservationists who choose to adopt these practices for use within their States will incorporate them into Section IV of their respective electronic Field Office Technical Guides (eFOTG). These practices may be used in conservation systems that treat highly erodible land or on land determined to be a wetland.
