rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Notices
Irrigation Ditch Lining (Code 428)—
The title changed from ‘‘Irrigation Water
Conveyance, Ditch and Canal Lining,’’
combining the three previous separate
standards for Plain Concrete (A),
Flexible Membrane (B), and Galvanized
Steel (C). Criteria for Chemical Linings
and references were added.
430 Irrigation Pipeline (Code 430)—
The title was changed from ‘‘Irrigation
Water Conveyance, Pipeline, (various),’’
combining six previous separate
standards for Aluminum Tubing (AA),
Nonreinforced Concrete (CC), HighPressure, Underground Plastic (DD),
Low-Pressure, Underground Plastic
(EE), Steel (FF), and Reinforced Plastic
Mortar (GG). The standard for AsbestosCement Pipe (BB) was deleted. Criteria
in NEH–636, Chapter 52 ‘‘Structural
Design of Flexible Conduits’’ are
referenced. Langelier Saturation Index
equation and references were added.
436 Irrigation Reservoir (Code 436)—
The titles were changed and standards
combined for ‘‘Irrigation Regulating
Reservoir’’ (552) and ‘‘Irrigation Storage
Reservoir’’ (436). Considerations were
expanded and references added.
Surface Drain (Code 607)—The title
was changed from ‘‘Surface Drainage,
Field Ditch.’’ Criteria for capacity was
added, considerations expanded, and
references were added.
Surface Drainage, Main or Lateral
(Code 608)—The text was streamlined
and references were added.
Roof Runoff Structure (Code 558)—No
significant changes are proposed to this
practice standard. NRCS reviews
standards periodically to ensure they
are still current; this was the situation
for this standard.
Surface Roughening (Code 609)—No
significant technical changes are
proposed to this practice standard;
however, significant edits and
grammatical changes have been made.
The Purposes section has been edited
for clarity, and as a result, the number
of purposes has been reduced. However,
the intent of the edits was to exclude
previous purposes, just merge existing
ones into more clearly worded
statements. In the criteria section,
procedure type narratives were
removed. In the considerations section,
additional considerations were added to
address emergency tillage, the initial
tillage operation, and the direction of
tillage.
Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture
Improvement and Reform Act of 1996,
requires NRCS to make available for
public review and comment all
proposed revisions to conservation
practice standards used to carry out the
highly erodible land and wetland
provisions of the law. For the next 30

days, NRCS will receive comments
relative to the proposed changes.
Following that period, a determination
will be made by NRCS regarding
disposition of those comments, and a
final determination of changes will be
made.
Signed in Washington, DC, on March 25,
2009.

Acting Chief.
