Summary

NRCS is giving notice that it is proposing to revise Section 1--General Resource References of the Field Office Technical Guide for Kansas, Nebraska, and New Jersey to include State Off-Site Methods (SOSM) for Food Security Act Wetland Identification. The proposed changes will replace existing procedures in Kansas and Nebraska, and add new procedures in New Jersey. The revisions are needed to clarify procedures and improve consistency in application. SOSM are used in completing wetland determinations for USDA program eligibility purposes.
