SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 2206 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 
(2008 Act) establishes the WREP by amending section 1237A(h) of the 
Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3837a(h)). The Secretary of 
Agriculture delegated authority for WREP to the Chief of NRCS, who is 
Vice President of the CCC.

Availability of Funding

    Effective upon publication of this notice, NRCS, on behalf of CCC, 
announces that a minimum of $25 million of financial assistance funds 
is available to accept high quality proposals under WREP in FY 2010. 
Under WREP, NRCS enters into agreements with eligible State and local 
governments, Indian tribes, and nongovernmental organizations. The 
reserve rights pilot of WREP (7 CFR 1467.9(b)) is implemented 
separately, and funds for the pilot are made available through the 
normal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) allocation process. NRCS will 
announce, at the State level, when a pilot area has been selected for 
the reserved rights pilot and will provide enrollment information to 
landowners at that time.

Overview

    WREP is a voluntary conservation program which is a component of 
WRP. WREP leverages resources of eligible partners to provide financial 
and technical assistance to eligible landowners to protect, restore, 
and enhance high priority wetlands and improve wildlife habitat. WREP 
partners are required to contribute a financial match of at least 5 
percent of the acquisition or restoration costs toward the project. 
Proposals which include additional partner resources will be given 
higher priority consideration in the selection process. Contributions 
provided by the partners to achieve additional points can be in the 
form of technical or financial assistance for the protection, 
restoration, and enhancement of the wetland. They can also be used for 
management and monitoring activities. These contributions can be in-
kind services or cash.
    WREP financial and technical assistance is delivered to eligible 
landowners in approved project areas through easement acquisition, 
conservation program contracts, cooperative agreements, contribution 
agreements, or Federal contracts. Restoration may be achieved through 
payments to other parties who conduct the restoration activities.
    Only States and local units of government, Indian tribes, and 
nongovernmental organizations are eligible to submit a proposal and 
enter into agreements with NRCS. A nongovernmental organization is an 
organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986. Individual landowners may not submit WREP proposals 
through this submission process. However, once a WREP project has been 
approved and announced, eligible landowners may apply for WREP through 
their local NRCS office. As part of the agreement, approved partners 
may also help facilitate the submission of landowner applications, 
provide additional technical or financial assistance to landowners, and 
provide other resources as defined in the agreement.
    Written proposals are to be submitted by eligible partners, and 
project evaluation will be based upon a competitive process and the 
criteria established in this notice. Potential partners may submit WREP 
proposals for an individual landowner project, watershed, or geographic 
area to the appropriate State Conservationist. Once NRCS selects a 
partner's proposal, landowners within the selected project area may 
submit an application directly to NRCS for participation in WRP. 
Individual landowner applications will be evaluated and ranked among 
other applicants in the watershed or geographic project area, when 
applicable, to ensure that the properties selected for funding will 
achieve project objectives.
    Wetland restoration and enhancement actions will be designed to 
maximize wildlife habitat values and water quality according to the WRP 
regulation, 7 CFR part 1467, and NRCS standards and specifications. 
Proposals must conform to the WRP guidelines for restoration and 
management of lands subject to a WRP easement.
    Benefits to the partners in WREP agreements include:
     Involvement in wetland restorations in high priority 
areas;
     Ability to cost-share restoration or enhancement 
components beyond those required by NRCS;
     Ability to participate in management or monitoring of 
selected project locations; and
     Opportunity to utilize innovative restoration methods and 
practices.

Proposal Requirements

    For consideration, the proposal must be in the following format and 
contain the information set forth below:
    Proposal Format: The basic format for the WREP proposal is a 
narrative written response to the information requested in this notice.

financial assistance being requested for project.
    (2) Project Natural Resource Objectives and Actions: The proposal 
must:
    (a) Identify and provide detail about the natural resource 
concern(s) to be addressed and how the proposal's objectives will 
address those concerns. Objectives should be specific, measurable, 
achievable, results-oriented, and include a timeline for completion.
    (b) For each objective, identify the actions to be completed to 
achieve that objective and address the identified natural resource 
concern. Specify which actions are to be addressed through this project 
using WREP assistance, and which are being addressed through alternate 
non-Federal funding sources or other resources provided.
    (c) Identify the total acres that require wetland protection, 
restoration, and enhancement.
    (3) Detailed Proposal Criteria: Information provided in the 
proposal must include:
    (a) A description of the partner(s) history of working with 
landowners to address resource issues.
    (b) A description of the watershed characteristics within the 
designated focus area covered by the proposal including a detailed 
watershed map which indicates the project location. The description 
should include information related to land use types, vegetation, 
soils, hydrology, potential sources of water quality impairments, 
occurrences of at-risk species, proximity to other protected areas, and 
a summary of resource concerns.
    (c) A description of the partner(s) and the roles, 
responsibilities, and capabilities of the partner(s). Proposals which 
include resources from partners other than the lead partner must 
include a letter or other documentation confirming the commitment of 
resources.
    (d) A description of the project duration, plan of action, and 
project implementation schedule. Project proposals cannot exceed 5 
years.
    (e) A description of the financial assistance resources that are

partners are required to contribute a financial match of at least 5 
percent of the acquisition or restoration costs toward the project.
    (f) A description of non-Federal resources that will be available 
for implementation of the proposal. Proposals which include additional 
non-Federal resources will be given higher consideration in the 
selection process. The partner needs to state clearly how they intend 
to leverage Federal funds along with partner resources. Landowner 
contributions in the implementation of agreed-to wetland restoration 
and enhancement practices may not be considered any part of a match 
from the potential partner for purposes of WREP. Partners will also be 
required to submit a plan for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting 
progress made toward achieving the objectives of the agreement.
    (g) An estimate of the percentage of potential landowners, or 
estimate of the percentage of acres likely to be enrolled within the 
project area, compared to the total number of potential landowners or 
acres located in the project area. A statement on how the partner will 
encourage participation to guarantee success of the project. It is not 
necessary for a target area to involve multiple landowners to be 
selected. Projects will be evaluated based on the ecological merits of 
the proposal and contributions by the partners.
    (h) A statement describing how the partner will provide outreach, 
especially to encourage participation by Indian tribes, beginning 
farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, and 
limited resource farmers or ranchers.
    (i) A description of the wetland protection, restoration, and 
enhancement activities to be implemented during the project timeframe, 
and the general sequence of implementation of the project. Activities 
may include those efforts undertaken by the partner and those that the 
partner requests NRCS to address through financial support.
    (j) A description of the amount of funds needed annually for 
easement acquisition and wetland restoration and enhancement 
activities.

Submitting Proposals

    Potential partners must submit a complete proposal to the 
appropriate NRCS State Conservationist by the date and time listed at 
the beginning of this notice addressing all items listed in the 
``Proposal Requirements'' section of this notice. More than one 
proposal may be submitted. Potential partners should recognize that the 
proposal is the only document NRCS will use in the evaluation process. 
The proposal must include sufficient detail to allow NRCS to understand 
the partner's priority resource concerns, objectives, and expected 
outcomes. If a project is multi-State in scope, the proposal should be 
sent to the State Conservationist of the State in which the majority of 
the project area resides. Incomplete proposals and those that do not 
meet the requirements set forth in this notice will not be considered, 
and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant.
    The potential partner must submit five copies of the proposal, 
typewritten or printed on 8\1/2\'' x 11'' white paper. One additional 
copy of the proposal must be in electronic format, such as Microsoft 
Word or PDF on one CD-ROM. If submitting more than one project 
proposal, submit a separate document for each project. The entire 
project proposal must not to exceed 15 pages in length including 
summary, responses to the information requested for the Project Natural 
Resource Objectives and Actions and Detailed Project Criteria, maps, 
reference materials, and related reports.
    State Conservationists may provide guidance to potential partners 
regarding resource concerns that may be addressed in the proposed 
project area, local working group and State Technical Committee natural 
resource priorities, and approved wetland restoration and enhancement 
practices and activities the partner should consider.

    Note: All WREP proposals submitted to the State Conservationist 
become the property of NRCS for use in the administration of the 
program, may be filed or disposed of by the agency, and will not be 
returned to the potential partner. Once proposals have been 
submitted to the agency for review and ranking, there will be no 
further opportunity to change or re-submit the proposal document.

State Conservationist Review of Proposal

    The State Conservationist(s) will review the proposals to address:
    (a) Potential duplication of efforts with other projects or 
existing programs;
    (b) Adherence to, and consistency with, program regulation 
including requirements related to land and landowner eligibility and 
other program requirements;
    (c) Expected benefits for project implementation in their State(s);

[[Page 18149]]

    (d) Other issues or concerns the State Conservationist is aware 
that should be considered; and
    (e) A general recommendation for support or denial of project 
approval.

National Ranking Considerations

    The appropriate State Conservationist will evaluate proposals using 
a competitive process and forward recommended proposals to the Chief or 
designee for review and selection. The Chief or designee will give a 
higher priority to proposals that:
    (a) Have a high potential to achieve wetland restoration;
    (b) Have a high potential to significantly improve wildlife 
habitat;
    (c) Significantly leverage non-Federal financial and technical 
resources and coordinate with other local, State, tribal, or Federal 
efforts;
    (d) Demonstrate the partner's history of working cooperatively with 
landowners;
    (e) Provide innovation in wetland protection, restoration, and 
enhancement methods and outcome-based performance measures and methods;
    (f) Provide evidence that wetland restoration and enhancement 
activities will be completed within 2 years of easement closing;
    (g) Provide for monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of 
the restoration activities;
    (h) Provide for matching financial or technical assistance funds to 
assist landowners with the implementation of the Wetlands Reserve Plan 
of Operations and associated contracts;
    (i) Facilitate the submission of landowner applications; and
    (j) Provide for outreach to, and participation of, Indian tribes, 
beginning farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers or 
ranchers, and limited resource farmers or ranchers within the area 
covered by the agreement.

Acknowledgement of Submission and Notifications

    Partners whose proposals have been selected will receive a letter 
of official notification. Upon notification of selection, the partner 
should contact the NRCS State Conservationist listed in the letter to 
develop the required agreement and other project implementation 
requirements. Partner submissions of proposals that were not selected 
will be notified by mail.

Withdrawal of Proposals

    Partner proposals may be withdrawn by written notice to the 
applicable State Conservationist at any time prior to selection.

Partnership Agreements

    Upon proposal selection, NRCS will enter an agreement with a 
partner as the mechanism for partner participation in WREP. At a 
minimum, the agreement will address:
    (a) The role of the partner;
    (b) The role of NRCS;
    (c) The format and frequency of reports that are required as a 
condition of the agreement;
    (d) Plan of Work and budget to identify other funding sources (if 
applicable) for financial or technical assistance;
    (e) The specified project schedule and timeframe; and
    (f) Other requirements deemed necessary by NRCS to achieve purposes 
of the WRP.

Landowner Application

    Landowners must meet the eligibility requirements of WRP, as 
published in 7 CFR part 1467. Landowners interested in participating 
may apply for designated WREP funds at their local service center after 
WREP proposals are selected. In FY 2010, NRCS will make WREP funds 
available to eligible landowners to enroll land under a permanent 
easement, a 30-year easement, or a 30-year contract on acreage owned by 
Indian tribes.
    NRCS and the partner may assist landowners in determining whether 
the application is appropriate for WREP depending on the wetland 
protection, restoration, and enhancement activities that the applicant 
seeks to install or perform.

Land Eligibility

    The land eligibility criteria for WREP are the same as for WRP and 
are listed in 7 CFR Sec.  1467. 4.

Waiver Authority

    To assist in the implementation of WREP projects, the Chief may 
waive the applicability of the Adjusted Gross Income Limitation, on a 
case-by-case basis, in accordance with 7 CFR part 1400. Such waiver 
requests must be submitted in writing from the program applicant, 
addressed to the Chief, and submitted through the local NRCS designated 
conservationist.
