Sec. 632.16  Methods of applying planned land use and treatment.

    (a) Land users may arrange to apply the planned land uses and 
conservation treatment specified in the contract by one or more of the 
following methods:
    (1) By performing the required treatment with his own labor and 
equipment.
    (2) By hiring a qualified contractor to install the required 
treatment.
    (3) By requesting NRCS to award and administer a contract to perform 
the required treatment in accordance with 41 CFR chapters I and IV.
    (b) State conservationists are to develop criteria specifying the 
conditions for which NRCS will award and administer a contract. Criteria 
will consider: Type of equipment required, type and amount of 
conservation treatment required, costs of the required reclamation, 
needs of the land user, and the applicable cost-share rate. If the 
Federal share is less than 100 percent, a land user must put up his 
estimated share of the cost before NRCS awards the contract.
