Public Involvement. The NRCS State Conservationist shall seek comment from the Illinois State Technical Committee (which is comprised of various conservation organizations and individuals) in the development of this Illinois Prototype Programmatic Agreement. Public participation provisions that recognize the rights of private and tribal landowners must guide NRCS procedures designed to address regulations in 36 CFR 800.2(d). The majority of NRCS projects in Illinois involve one landowner on private land and the public is not notified of the project scope. When project complexity and scope involve multiple landowner s, as in watershed planning, then public meetings are held to involve the public in the planning process and to inform them of the project effects on historic properties.
