Notice of Proposed Changes to Section IV of the Field Office 
Technical Guide (FOTG) of the Natural Resources Conservation Service in 
Wisconsin

AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Wisconsin, 
U.S. Department of Agriculture.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a proposed change in section IV of 
the FOTG of the NRCS in Wisconsin for review and comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: It is the intention of NRCS in Wisconsin to issue a revised 
conservation practice standard in Section IV of the FOTG. The revised 
standard is Nutrient Management (Code 590). This practice may be used 
in conservation systems that treat highly erodible land, land where 
nutrients are applied for agricultural purposes, and to develop land 
application strategies for manure generated by animal feeding 
operations.

DATES: Comments will be received for a 30-day period commencing with 
this date of publication.

ADDRESSES: Inquire in writing to Patrick Murphy, State Resource 
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), 6515 
Watts Road, Suite 200 Madison, WI 53719-2726. Copies of this standard 
will be made available upon written request. You may submit electronic 
requests and comments to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Murphy, 608-276-8732.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture 
Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 states that revisions made after 
enactment of the law, to NRCS state technical guides used to carry out 
highly erodible land and wetland provisions of the law, shall be made 
available for public review and comment. For the next 30 days, the NRCS 
in Wisconsin will receive comments relative to the proposed change. 
Following that period, a determination will be made by the NRCS in 
Wisconsin regarding disposition of those comments and a final 
determination of change will be made.
