Abstract
This final rule amends the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) regulations to: Revise the terms and conditions for enrolling acreage in the CRP; update other program eligibility requirements; consolidate and reorganize all existing CRP regulations into one regulation; and eliminate unnecessary provisions. This action is being taken to cost- effectively target the CRP to more environmentally sensitive acreage. This action is also part of the National Performance Review Initiative to eliminate unnecessary regulations and improve those that remain in force.
