ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: ALL - NMs. USDA/Natural Resources Conservation Service. Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act (RCA); Meetings; To guide USDA activities for the conservation, protection, and enhancement of soil, water, and related natural
resources

Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act (RCA); Meetings
AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of public meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NRCS will hold public meetings to gather stakeholder input on
important natural resource concerns and program approaches to address
these natural resource concerns in the next decade.
On June 22, 2008, Congress reauthorized the RCA, 16 U.S.C. 2001-
2009, through amendments in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110-246). In the reauthorization, Congress extended RCA
through 2018 and called for the first report to be delivered to
Congress by January 2011. RCA provides USDA with broad strategic
assessment and planning authority and calls for the development of a
national program to guide USDA activities for the conservation,
protection, and enhancement of soil, water, and related natural
resources. Through RCA, USDA appraises the status and trends of soil,
water, and related resources on non-Federal land, assesses their
capability to meet present and future demands, evaluates current and
needed programs, policies, and authorities, and develops a national
soil and water conservation program to give direction for USDA soil and
water conservation activities.
Public participation is a central element of the RCA process. USDA
will hold listening sessions to provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on conservation priorities, program approaches, future
conservation needs, and opportunities to improve the appraisal process.
