Sec.  1491.20  Cooperative agreements.


    (a) NRCS, on behalf of CCC, enters into a cooperative agreement with 
those entities selected for funding awards. Once a proposal is selected 
by the State Conservationist, the entity must work with the appropriate 
State Conservationist to finalize and sign the cooperative agreement 
incorporating all necessary FRPP requirements. The cooperative agreement 
addresses:
    (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 role of NRCS;
    (4) The responsibilities of the easement manager on lands acquired 
with the assistance of FRPP; and
    (5) Other requirements deemed necessary by NRCS to protect the 
interests of the United States.
    (b) The cooperative agreement will also include an attachment 
listing the parcels accepted by the State Conservationist, landowners' 
names, addresses, location map(s), and other relevant information. An 
example of a cooperative agreement may be obtained from the State 
Conservationist.
