| 02-13430 | Farmland Protection Program | Notice | Section 388 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 established the Farmland Protection Program (FPP). The Secretary of Agriculture delegated the authority for FPP to the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), who is a vice president of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). Section 2503 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-171) amended the Food Security Act of 1985 to include FPP, providing up to $50 million in financial and technical assistance for the purposes described in FPP. The CCC requests proposals from federally recognized Indian tribes, States, units of local government, and nongovernmental organizations to cooperate in the acquisition of conservation easements or other interests in farms and ranches. Eligible land includes farm and ranch land that has prime, unique, or other productive soil, or that contains historical or archaeological resources. These lands must also be subject to a pending offer from eligible entities for the purpose of protecting topsoil by limiting conversion of that land to nonagricultural uses. | 2002-05-30 | 2002 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/05/30/02-13430/farmland-protection-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-05-30/pdf/02-13430.pdf | Agriculture Department; Commodity Credit Corporation | 12,76 | Section 388 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 established the Farmland Protection Program (FPP).
