Sec.  1410.10  Restoration of wetlands.

    (a) An owner or operator who entered into a CRP contract on land 
that is suitable for restoration to wetlands or that was restored to 
wetlands while under such contract, may, if approved by CCC, subject to 
any restrictions as may be imposed by law, apply to transfer such 
eligible acres subject to such contract that are devoted to an approved 
cover from the CRP to the WRP. Transferred acreage shall be terminated 
from the CRP effective the day a WRP easement is filed. Participants 
will receive a prorated CRP annual payment for that part of the year the 
acreage was enrolled in the CRP according to Sec.  1410.42. Refunds of 
cost-share payments or applicable incentive payments need not be 
refunded unless specified by the Deputy Administrator.
    (b) An owner or operator who has enrolled acreage in the CRP may, as 
determined and approved by CCC, restore suitable acres to wetlands with 
cost-share assistance provided that Federal cost-share assistance has 
not been received for wetland restoration on the same land. In addition 
to the cost-share limitation in Sec.  1410.41, an additional one-time 
financial incentive may be provided to encourage restoration of the 
hydrology of the site.
