Sec.  1410.41  Levels and rates for cost-share payments.

    (a) As determined by the Deputy Administrator, CCC shall not pay 
more than 50 percent of the actual or average cost of establishing 
eligible practices specified in the conservation plan. CCC may allow 
cost-share payments for maintenance costs, consistent with the 
provisions of Sec.  1410.40 and CCC may determine the period and amount 
of such cost-share payments.
    (b) The average cost of performing a practice may be determined by 
CCC based on recommendations from the State Technical Committee. Such 
cost may be the average cost in a State, a county, or a part of a State 
or county, as determined by the Deputy Administrator.
    (c) Except as otherwise provided, a participant may, in addition to 
any payment under this part, receive cost-share assistance, rental 
payments, or tax benefits from a State or a private organization in 
return for enrolling lands in CRP. However, as provided under Sec.  
1410.40(f), a participant may not receive or retain CRP cost-share 
assistance if other Federal cost-share assistance is provided for such 
acreage, as determined by the Deputy Administrator. Further, under no 
circumstances may the cost-share payments received under this part, or 
otherwise, exceed the cost of the practice, as determined by CCC.
