Sec.  1466.33  Performance based upon advice or action of representatives of NRCS.

    If a participant relied upon the advice or action of any authorized 
representative of NRCS and did not know, or have reason to know, that 
the action or advice was improper or erroneous, NRCS may accept the 
advice or action as meeting the requirements of the program and may 
grant relief, to the extent it is deemed desirable by NRCS, to provide a 
fair and equitable treatment because of the good-faith reliance on the 
part of the participant. The financial or technical liability for any 
action by a participant that was taken based on the advice of a NRCS 
certified non-USDA Technical Service Provider will remain with the 
certified Technical Service Provider and will not be assumed by NRCS 
when NRCS authorizes payment.
