    This part sets forth the informal appeal procedures under which a 
participant may appeal adverse technical determinations or program 
decisions made by officials of the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service (NRCS), an agency under the United States Department of 
Agriculture (USDA). These regulations reflect NRCS policy to resolve at 
the agency level, to the greatest extent possible, disputes arising from 
adverse technical determinations and program decisions made by NRCS. 
Once a decision is rendered final by NRCS, participants may appeal to 
the National Appeals Division (NAD) as provided for under 7 CFR part 11, 
or the FSA county committee pursuant to 7 CFR part 780 for decisions 
rendered under Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, 
16 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. (Title XII).
