    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8113
    Reading Time:about 93 minutes

    The final rule permanently adopts changes to the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) made by the interim rule published in January 2020. It responds to public comments and adjusts several program aspects, including clarifying definitions, addressing eligibility requirements for agricultural and wetland easements, and enhancing conservation and land management practices. The changes, based on the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, are intended to improve the program's efficiency, allowing for more flexible non-Federal cost-sharing and incorporating additional conservation planning. The rule emphasizes voluntary participation by landowners and seeks to enhance the conservation value of public investments.

    The rule is like setting new rules for a game to help farmers take better care of their land and water, making it easier and more organized for them to join and get help while also listening to others who shared their ideas about these changes.
