Abstract
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 amended the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture for the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) to provide additional cost-share assistance to landowners who enter into an agreement to protect and restore plant and animal habitat for a term of at least 15 years. The current regulations for WHIP require cost-share agreements to be for a term of 5 to 10 years. This change will amend the program regulation to conform to the statutory language.
