process to solicit applications from eligible entities to cooperate in 
the acquisition of conservation easements on farms and ranches. 
Information required in the application will be set forth in the Request 
for Proposals.
    (b) To participate, an eligible entity submits a proposal to NRCS 
for the acquisition of conservation easements on eligible farm or ranch 
land, on which the entity already has pending offers. An entity's

applications must be submitted to the appropriate NRCS State 
Conservationist by the specified date, as indicated in the Request for 
Proposals.
