Sec.  1410.40  Cost-share payments.

    (a) Cost-share payments shall be made available upon a determination 
by CCC that an eligible practice, or an identifiable unit thereof, has 
been established in compliance with the appropriate standards and 
specifications.
    (b) Except as otherwise provided for in this part, cost-share 
payments may be made only for the cost-effective establishment or 
installation of an eligible practice, as determined by CCC.
    (c) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, cost-share 
payments shall not be made to the same owner or operator on the same 
acreage for any eligible practices that have been previously 
established, or for which such owner or operator has received cost-share 
assistance from any Federal agency.
    (d) Except as provided for under Sec.  1410.9(c), cost-share 
payments may be authorized for the replacement or restoration of 
practices for which cost-share assistance has been previously allowed 
under the CRP, only if:
    (1) Replacement or restoration of the practice is needed to achieve 
adequate erosion control, enhance water quality, wildlife habitat, or 
increase protection of public wellheads; and
    (2) The failure of the original practice was due to reasons beyond 
the control of the participant.
    (e) The cost-share payment made to a participant shall not exceed 
the participant's actual contribution to the cost of establishing the 
practice and the amount of the cost-share may not be an amount that, 
when added to such assistance from other sources, exceeds the cost of 
the practices.
    (f) CCC shall not make cost-share payments with respect to a CRP 
contract if any other Federal cost-share assistance has been, or is 
being, made with respect to the establishment of the cover crop on land 
subject to such contract.
