Subject: 98FPP.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
According to the 1987 Census of Agriculture, one-third of the Nation's
agricultural products are produced in metropolitan counties adjacent to large
cities. Another one-fourth of these agricultural products are produced in
counties adjacent to significant urban populations. Historically, American
settlements were located in areas where the land was the most productive.
Consequently, some of the Nation's most valuable and productive farmland is
located in urban and developing areas. Nearly 85 percent of domestic fruit and
vegetable production and 80 percent of our dairy products come from
urban-influenced areas.
These areas are continually threatened by rapid development and urban sprawl.
Several social and economic changes over the past three decades have influenced
the rate at which land is converted to urban and industrial uses. Population
growth, shifts in age distribution, inexpensive energy cost, transportation, and
economic development have contributed to increases in agricultural land
conversion rates. Urban development has been a major cause of farmland
conversion. Since 1960, farmland has been converted to other uses at a rate of
approximately 1.5 million acres per year.
The gross acreage of farmland converted to urban development is not
necessarily the most troubling concern. A greater cause for concern is the
quality and the pattern of farmland being converted. In most States, prime
farmland is being converted at 2 to 4 times the rate of other less-productive
land. Most urbanization takes place as sprawl instead of orderly growth
management. In addition, remaining farmland is placed under greater
environmental, economic, and social strain as agrarian and urbanizing interests
compete. For the agricultural producer, increased costs of production and
liability risks are negative side effects of urban development. Agricultural
producers are also induced by the development pressure to farm the remaining
acreage more intensively, thus, generating adverse impacts on water quality and
soil health. For urban dwellers, the loss of open space, and issues related to
agricultural production such as pesticide overspray, animal nutrient odors,
dust, and noise are conflicting concerns.
There is, therefore, an important national interest in the protection of
farmland. Once developed, productive farmland with rich topsoil is lost forever,
placing future food security for the Nation at risk. In addition, agricultural
lands are important components of environmental quality, historic landscapes,
and are equally important simply for their scenic beauty.
In fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the CCC signed cooperative agreements with 41
State and local government entities in 18 States and obligated $16.2 million in
funds to partner in acquiring conservation easements or other interests in land
to limit conversion to nonagricultural uses of the land. Once acquisitions of
the pending easement offers are completed, approximately 80,000 acres of
valuable farmland on about 230 farms with an estimated easement value of $134
million will be protected in part with Federal funds.
Availability of Funding in Fiscal Year (FY) 1998
Effective on the date of publication of this notice, the CCC is announcing
the availability of up to $17.28 million for the FPP for FY 1998. Selection will
be based on the FPP criteria established in this notice. Government entities
responding to this RFP must have an existing farmland protection program, have
pending offers, and be able to provide funds for at least 50 percent of the fair
market value of the pending offers. CCC will evaluate the merits of the requests
for participation utilizing the FPP criteria described in this notice and will
enter into cooperative agreements with the States, Tribes, or units of local
government that have proposals that CCC determines will effectively meet the
objectives of the FPP. CCC must receive proposals for participation by June 18,
1998.
Overview of the Farmland Protection Program
CCC will accept proposals submitted to the NRCS State Offices from States,
Tribes, and units of local government that have pending offers with landowners
for the acquisition of conservation easements or other interests in lands that
contain prime, unique, or other productive soils. The pending offers must be for
the primary purpose of protecting topsoil by limiting conversion to
nonagricultural uses of the land. Reference information regarding the FPP can be
found in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance #10.913.
A pending offer is a bid, contract, or option extended to a landowner by a
State, Tribe, or local government entity to acquire a conservation easement or
other interests in land to limit nonagricultural uses of the land before the
legal title to these rights has been conveyed. The pending offer must be made as
of the date when the cooperative agreement is signed.
Government entities must work with the appropriate NRCS State Conservationist
to develop proposals and to develop operating agreements once selected. The
State Conservationist may consult with the State Technical Committee
(established pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 3861) to evaluate the technical merits of
proposals submitted in that State. All requests must be submitted to the
appropriate NRCS State Conservationist by June 18, 1998.
The NRCS State Conservationist will review and evaluate the requests for
participation for consistency with USDA criteria based on the State, Tribal, or
local program eligibility and the land eligibility. If received more than one
proposal, the NRCS State Conservationist may consolidate proposals and determine
the priority of the pending offers for selection using a ranking system
described in this notice, such as: (1) The quality of the land considering the
soils, economic viability, size, and product sales; (2) other factors including
the scale of the contiguous track, historical, scenic, and environmental
qualities; and (3) the likelihood of conversion considering developmental
pressure, zoning, utility availability, and other related factors. If received
only one proposal, the NRCS State Conservationist has the option of accepting
the submitting entity's priority ranking provided that the lands are eligible
for participation in the FPP.
The State Conservationist will submit a cover letter with a recommended list
of the prioritized proposals that meet the criteria established in this notice
to the appropriate NRCS Regional Conservationist by July 20, 1998. The NRCS
Regional Conservationist will then forward proposals submitted from the region
to the NRCS National Office in Washington, D.C. by August 3, 1998. Proposals
will not be accepted by the NRCS National Office without having gone through the
NRCS State and Regional Conservationists. Proposals sent to the NRCS National
Office without having been sent through the NRCS State and regional offices will
be returned to the submitting entity.
Once all proposals for participation are received in the NRCS National
Office, the Chief of NRCS, who is a Vice President of the CCC, will authorize
cooperative agreements to be developed and signed by September 30, 1998, with
specific terms of the FPP for each proposal accepted. An equitable allocation of
the funds to the successful cooperating entities will be made by considering
such factors as: The capability of each entity to fund at least half of the fair
market easement cost of each of the pending offers selected for funding; the
economic and environmental value of such offers; the probability of integrating
other Federal, State, Tribal, or local conservation efforts; and the total
number of eligible acres included in the offers.
To be selected for participation in the FPP, a pending offer must provide for
the acquisition by a State, Tribe, local government unit, or other entity
approved by the NRCS, of an easement or other interests in land for a minimum
duration of 30 years, with priority given to those offers providing permanent
protection. If a pending offer is selected for participation in the FPP, the
conveyance document used by the State, tribal, or local government entity will
need to be reviewed and approved by the NRCS National office. A strong
preference will be given to reserved interest easements. If title to the
easement is held by an entity other than the United States, the conveyance
document will contain a reversionary clause that all rights conveyed by the
landowner under the document will become vested in the United States, should the
State, tribal, or local government entity abandon, terminate, or abrogate the
exercise of the rights so acquired. As a condition for participation, all lands
enrolled shall be encompassed by a conservation plan developed and implemented
according to the NRCS Field Office Technical Guide.
Eligible State, Tribal, or Local Farmland Protection Programs
To be eligible, a State, Tribe, or unit of local government must have a
farmland protection program that provides for the purchase of agricultural
conservation easements for the purpose of protecting topsoil by limiting
conversion to nonagricultural uses of land. A program must also have pending
offers when submitting the proposal. A State, Tribal, or local government entity
may apply for participation as a cooperating entity by submitting responses to
the RFP to the appropriate NRCS State Conservationist.
The NRCS State Conservationist will evaluate the State, Tribal, or local
program based on the conservation benefits derived from such farmland protection
efforts. An eligible State, Tribal, or local government entity must have a
farmland protection program that: (1) Demonstrates a commitment to long-term
conservation of agricultural lands through legal devices, such as right-to-farm
laws, agricultural districts, zoning, or land use plans; (2) uses voluntary
easements or other legal devices to protect farmland from conversion to
nonagricultural uses; (3) demonstrates a capability to acquire, manage, and
enforce easements and other interests in land; and (4) demonstrates that funds
equal to at least 50 percent of the total fair market value of the easement are
available.
Proposals
In addition to meeting program eligibility requirements, a prospective
cooperating entity must submit a proposal that has: (1) An overview of the
program, including components described in the section of ``Eligible State,
Tribal, or Local Farmland Protection Programs''; (2) a map showing the existing
protected area; (3) the amount and source of funds currently available for
easement acquisition; (4) the criteria used to set the acquisition priorities;
and (5) a listing of the pending offers including the (a) priority of the offer;
(b) name(s) of the landowner(s); (c) location identified on the map; (d) size of
the parcel in acres for the FPP easement or other interests; (e) acres of the
prime, unique, or other productive soil in the parcel for the FPP easement or
other interests; (f) area participating in or its relative proximity to parcels
participating in other conservation efforts identified on the map; (g) estimated
costs of the easement or other interests; (h) type of the FPP easement or other
interests to be used; (i) indication of the accessibility to markets; (j)
indication of an existing agricultural infrastructure and other support system;
(k) level of threat from urban development; (l) other factors from an evaluation
and assessment system used for setting priorities for easement acquisition by
the entity; and (m) other information that may be relevant.
To avoid double counting, local and county programs must coordinate their
proposals with each other and the State program if particular parcels are
subject to pending offers under multiple programs.
Eligible Land
Once program eligibility and the merits of each proposal have been evaluated,
NRCS shall determine whether the farmland is eligible for enrollment and whether
the lands may be included in the FPP. The following land, if subject to a
pending offer by a State, Tribe, or unit of local government, is eligible for
enrollment in the FPP: (1) Land with prime, unique, or other productive soil;
and (2) other incidental land that would not otherwise be eligible, but when
considered as part of a pending offer, NRCS determines that the inclusion of
such land would significantly augment the protection of the associated farmland.
Prime farmland is land that has the best combination of physical and chemical
characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops, and
is also available for these uses. It includes cropland, pasture land, rangeland,
and forest land. Unique farmland is land other than prime farmland that is used
for the production of specific high value food and fiber crops, such as nuts,
citrus, olives, cranberries, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Other productive
soil refers to farmland of statewide or local importance for the production of
food, feed, fiber, forage, and oil seed crops. Additional information on the
definition of prime, unique, or other productive soil can be found in section
1540(c)(1) of the Farmland Protection Policy Act (Pub. L. 97-98, 1981, 7 U.S.C.
4201).
NRCS will only consider enrolling eligible land in the program that is
configured in a size and with boundaries that allow for the efficient management
of the area or for establishing a buffer zone for the purposes of the FPP. The
land must have access to markets for its products and an infrastructure
appropriate for agricultural production. NRCS will not enroll land in the FPP
that is owned in fee title by an agency of the United States, or land that is
already subject to an easement or deed restriction that limits the conversion of
the land to nonagricultural use. NRCS will not enroll otherwise eligible lands
if NRCS determines that the protection provided by the FPP would not be
effective because of on-site or off-site conditions.
Ranking Considerations
Pending offers by a State, Tribe, or unit of local government must be for the
acquisition of an easement or other interest in land for a minimum duration of
30 years. NRCS shall place a priority on acquiring easements or other interests
in lands that provide the longest period of protection from conversion to
nonagricultural use. NRCS will place a higher priority on lands and locations
that help create a large track of protected area for viable agricultural
production or buffer zones. NRCS will place a higher priority on lands and
locations that link to other Federal, State, Tribal, or local conservation
efforts with complementary farmland protection objectives. NRCS may place a
higher priority on lands that provide special social, economic, and
environmental benefits to the region. A higher priority may be given to certain
geographic regions where the enrollment of particular lands may help achieve
national, State, and regional goals and objectives, or enhance existing
government or private conservation projects.
Cooperative Agreements
The CCC will use a cooperative agreement with a selected State, Tribe, or
unit of local government as the mechanism for participation in the FPP. The
cooperative agreement will address the following: (1) The interests in land to
be acquired, including the form of the easements to be used and terms and
conditions; (2) the management and enforcement of the rights acquired; (3) the
technical assistance that may be provided by the NRCS; (4) the holder of the
easement or other interests in the land enrolled in the FPP; and (5) other
requirements deemed necessary by the CCC to protect the interests of the United
States. The cooperative agreement will also include an attachment that lists the
pending offers accepted in the FPP, landowners' names, addresses, locations, and
other relevant information.
