7 CFR Part 652

RIN 0578-AA48


Technical Service Provider Assistance

AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service, United States 
Department of Agriculture.

ACTION: Final rule; Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) published a 
final rule in the Federal Register of February 12, 2010, amending its 
regulations for technical service provider (TSP) provisions under the 
Food Security Act of 1985. This document correctly amends those 
provisions by expanding the definition Technical Service Provider 
Assistance, which contained an error in the omission of ``Indian 
Tribe'' in the definition of Technical Service Provider.

DATES: Effective Date: This amendment is effective on August 10, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Angel Figueroa, Team Leader, Technical 
Service Provider Team, Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources 
Conservation Service, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Room 5236 South 
Building, Washington, DC 20250; Telephone: (202) 720-6731; Fax: (202) 
720-5334; or e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document correctly amends the Natural 
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) regulations for technical service 
provider (TSP) provisions the requirements. This amendment is necessary 
due to an error of omission in the agency's final rule published in the 
Federal Register of Friday, February 12, 2010 (75 FR 6839). In that 
document, on page 6846, in the third column, the Technical Service 
Provider definition reads ``Technical service provider means an 
individual, entity, or public agency either * * *''. It should read 
``Technical service provider means an individual, entity, Indian Tribe, 
or public agency either * * *''
