Sec. 611.2  Cooperative relationships.

    (a) Soil surveys on nonfederal lands are carried out cooperatively 
with state agricultural experiment stations and other state agencies. 
The cooperative effort is evidenced in a memorandum of understanding 
setting forth guidelines for actions to be taken by each cooperating 
party in the performance of soil surveys. Similar cooperative 
arrangements exist between NRCS and other federal agencies for soil 
surveys on federal lands.
    (b) Arrangements for nonfederal financial participation in the cost 
of soil surveys may be made with states, counties, soil conservation 
districts, planning agencies, and other local groups.
