Abstract
The Natural Resources Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, is amending soil survey regulations to reflect current law and contemporary conditions. The new rule clarifies soil survey operations and content of soil survey information; increases flexibility in disseminating soil surveys, including electronic dissemination; eliminates specific requirements to print and distribute soil survey reports; and corrects mailing addresses. These amendments are non-controversial changes to an existing regulation and are required to bring the regulation in conformity with statue. Therefore, NRCS believes that public notice is not needed and hereby issuing a final rule.
