Indiana

AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed changes in Section IV of the 
FOTG of the NRCS in Indiana for review and comment.

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

SUMMARY: It is the intention of NRCS in Indiana to remove one standard 
and issue four revised conservation practice standards in Section IV of 
the FOTG. The revised standards are: Diversion (362), Stream Habitat 
Improvement and Management (395), Waste Water Treatment Strip (635), 
and Watering Facility (614). The standard we intend to remove from the 
FOTG is Bedding (310). These practices may be used in conservation 
systems that treat highly erodible land and/or wetlands.

this date of publication.
