Sec. 621.13  Conditions for approval.

    The Chief may authorize requested cooperative studies recommended by 
the State Conservationist. Priority for starting cooperative studies is 
based on the date of application, the readiness of the requesting agency 
to begin participation, the importance and significance of problems to 
be studied, the monetary or in-kind contributions toward the study, the 
sequence of ongoing and future studies, the type of study, the duration 
of study, the cost of study, the potential for implementation and other 
factors affecting the effectiveness and efficiency of the study. The 
number and location of cooperative studies started each year are 
governed by the availability of USDA funds and personnel.
