SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

A. Legislative Authority

The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) was authorized as part of the Food

Security Act of 1985, Title XII, Public Law 99-198, as amended; Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, Title XIV, Section 1237, Public

Law 101-624, 104 Stat. 3584, 16 U.S.C. 3837, as amended; Omnibus Budget

Reconciliation Act of 1993; Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of

1996; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and

Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1998 and Agriculture, Rural

Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies

Appropriations Act of 2001 and as amended, Farm Security and Rural Investment

Act of 2002 and Section II of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, P.L.110-234 authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to provide technical assistance under this program to eligible producers. It was repealed P.L. 113-79, Title II, §270(a), Feb. 7, 2014, 128 Stat. 767. However, there are still remaining funds that are left out of the congressional allowance for this program as well as remaining restoration needs.

The Emergency Watershed Protection Program-Floodplain Easements (EWPP-

FPE) was authorized in American Recovery and Reinvestment act of 2009, Public

Law 111-5; Section 215 of the Flood Control Act of 1950, Public Law 81516; the

Agricultural Credit Act of 1978, Section 403, Public Law 95-334, 33 U.S.C.

701B01, as amended by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of

1996, Section 382, Public Law 104-127, 16.U.S.C. 2203 authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to provide technical assistance under this program to eligible producers. The Secretary may request the services of non-Federal entities to assist the Secretary in providing the technical assistance necessary to develop and implement conservation programs under this title. The Secretary of Agriculture delegated the authority for the administration of WRP/EWPP-FPE to the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) was established under the Food Security Act of 1985, Title XII, Part Subtitle D, Section 1237, Public

Law 99-198; amended by the Agricultural Act of 2014, Pl. 113-79; 16 U.S.C.

The Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 (31 U.S.C. 6301-

6308, Public Law 95-224) authorized NRCS to enter into grants and cooperative agreements to accomplish a public purpose or stimulation of an activity authorized by statute. NRCS may do this through entering into cooperative agreements with a service provider or other cooperator to stimulate the availability of technical assistance. The assistance being sought through this request relies on guidance contained in the Technical Service Provider Final Rule, 7 CFR Chapter VI, Part 652 published November 29, 2004 and revised January 1, 2009. Applicants whose proposals are recommended for funding must agree to be bound by the final rules as a condition of receiving an award.

B. Overview

The purpose of the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is to conserve, protect and enhance the nation’s wetland ecosystems. The purpose of the Agricultural

Conservation Easement Program is to establish an agricultural conservation easement program for the conservation of eligible land and natural resources through easements or other interests in the land. The purpose of the Emergency Watershed

Protection – Floodplain Easement Program (EWPP-FPE) is to provide for restoration, protection, maintenance and enhancement of the functions of the floodplain, conserve natural values include fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, flood water retention, ground water recharge and safeguard lives and property from floods, drought and the products of erosion. The programs promote the restoration, enhancement, protection, maintenance and management of wetland systems and adjacent land that would contribute significantly to wetland functions and values.

Through WRP, ACEP, and EWPP-FPE, landowners may receive financial and technical assistance to install or implement structural or vegetative wetland and associated upland restoration practices on eligible land. WRP/ACEP/EWPP-FPE provides that the Secretary may request the services of, and enter into cooperative agreements with, non-Federal entities to assist in providing technical assistance necessary to develop and implement conservation programs under these programs.

The agency is directing resources toward the restoration of degraded wetlands across the state of Arkansas; with emphasis in the historic bottom-land hardwood regions.

NRCS is requesting applications from qualified individuals and organizations that share a common interest in the conservation and restoration of wetland resources throughout Arkansas.

C. Project Description

Applicants will be responsible for assisting producers by providing technical assistance necessary to develop and implement WRP/ACEP/EWPP-FPE restoration plans, while at the same time improving and protecting wetland habitat for environmental benefits. Performance may include any part or all operations necessary to perform vegetative and hydrology restoration in a timely and effective manner.

• Designate a liaison to participate in the planning and management of the cooperative agreement and coordinate activities between the awardee and

Arkansas NRCS.

• Identify and prioritize work assignments at the Arkansas State Office level with consultation from the Arkansas WRP team and local field offices.

• Provide for state level coordination/guidance of the technical specialists.

• Provide quality assurance for services provided under the agreement.

• Provide access to NRCS technology and technical tools to the maximum extent possible.

II. Funding Availability

All awards are subject to the availability of sufficient funds being appropriated by

Congress and apportioned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to support the addition and full cost of service to implement technical assistance activities.

Cooperative agreements will be awarded competitively to applicants certified as a

Technical Service Provider (TSP) meeting the USDA NRCS national criteria established for certification. The certification criteria is located in "TechReg," an NRCS web based certification application program found at:

http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/technical/tsp/.

Cooperative agreements have been determined to be the appropriate funding instrument because of the substantial involvement of NRCS in providing technical oversight and coordination of planning, designing and implementing wetland and associated upland http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/technical/tsp/ restoration activities.

It is anticipated that approximately $10 million will be available for planning, designing and implementing wetland and associated upland restoration plans in Fiscal Year 2020.

The amount of funds available for this program is not fixed and may vary considerably from the current funding level. Amendments to the agreement(s) may be developed upon availability of funding in future years (approximately a 5-year period). The work will be performed statewide.

The cooperative agreements will include one base-year and four, one-year option periods.

Work under this agreement is subject to satisfactory negotiation of individual cooperative agreements. There will be no minimum or maximum price on any individual agreement.

The maximum order amount for each cooperative agreement period (base-year and each option-year) shall be determined by available funds. There shall be no guaranteed minimum amount for the base year or for the option periods, if exercised. Multiple cooperative agreements may be awarded as a result of this announcement. Projects will be ordered on an as-needed basis beginning from the date of the award of the agreement for a period not to exceed five years.

The amount of funding awarded under individual cooperative agreements will be based on NRCS’s Arkansas Cost Allowance (Attachment B). The amount of each individual agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount allowed under the price list based on the number of acres contemplated.
