will help FSA review potential 

alternatives to, and environmental 

impacts expected to result from, 

proposed changes to CRP. The results of 

the 2014 CRP SPEIS and subsequent 

ROD will be used in implementing and 

modifying CRP administration and will 

also serve as guidance to FSA decisionmakers when considering proposed CRP 

changes. 

The SPEIS process provides a means 

for the public, other agencies, and 

Tribes to provide input on program 

implementation alternatives and their 

impacts, and other environmental 

concerns. We encourage you to 

participate in helping to define the 

scope of the draft 2014 CRP SPEIS. 

Summary Description of Preliminary 

Alternatives 

To initiate the process, FSA has 

developed a set of preliminary 

alternatives to be studied and impacts to 

be analyzed in the draft 2014 CRP 

SPEIS. At this time, FSA is proposing 

three alternatives (the No Action 

alternative and two action alternatives). 

The No Action alternative (continuation 

of CRP as it is currently administered 

and analyzed in the 2010 CRP SEIS) will 

be evaluated as required by the Council 

on Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508). 

FSA expects legislative changes to 

CRP in the next Farm Bill (or other 

relevant legislation). Although the 

timing of the next legislative change to 

CRP is uncertain, to be able to 

implement the changes expeditiously, 

FSA is getting a start on the analysis of 

potential changes by including potential 

legislative changes in the alternatives. 

As a starting point for the required 

NEPA analysis that will be required 

before FSA can implement regulatory 

changes when the Farm Bill is enacted, 

FSA determined that using the 

proposals most recently passed by the 

House and the Senate, respectively, was 

reasonable. Because those proposals 

may change, it did not seem prudent to 

detail those proposed changes in this 

notice; the alternatives will be revised 

as needed in response to legislation and 

public and other input. To see the 

details that FSA is working from, refer 

to www.CRPSPEIS.com for the text of 

the House and Senate proposals used as 

our starting point. At this point, the two 

separate CRP proposals, however they 

are eventually modified, will be the 

foundation for our proposed federal 

actions, and are therefore included as 

separate alternatives. They are similar, 

but have some differences, and as 

discussed below, are not the sole 

components of the action alternatives. 

When the next Farm Bill is enacted 

(or any other legislative change to CRP), 

the resulting legislative changes to CRP 

will be used along with the public and 

other input to this NOI to fully 

articulate the alternatives and their 

impacts, which will be fully described 

in the resulting scoping report. 

FSA has developed the two action 

alternatives that include the provisions 

from each of the respective proposed 

legislative changes to CRP, as well as 

the following discretionary 

considerations, to ensure that the 2014 

CRP SPEIS captures the full range of 

potential alternatives, impacts, and 

issues anticipated: Administrative, 

staffing, and budgetary considerations; 

efficiency and jurisdiction concerns; 

and other factors. The alternatives and 

impacts will be amended, as 

appropriate, based on input from the 

public, other agencies, and Tribes 

during the scoping process, as well as 

by any legislative changes to CRP. 

Both of the two action alternatives 

include a gradual reduction of the CRP 

enrollment cap by 20 to 25 percent over 

the next 5 years. In the 2014 CRP SPEIS, 

FSA will analyze discretionary 

measures to meet the proposed 

mandatory reduction in enrollment 

while maintaining the maximum 

environmental benefit realized from the 

program. 

Other discretionary provisions, which 

FSA identified separately from any 

pending legislative changes, to be 

addressed in the 2014 CRP SPEIS 

include: 

• Changing the enrollment cap on the 

Farmable Wetlands Program; 

• Reducing incentive and cost-share 

payments for tree thinning activities; 

• Evaluating other forms or processes 

for enrollment under continuous signup; 

• Adding flexibility for haying and 

grazing, including emergency haying 

and grazing on otherwise ineligible CRP 

CPs (as addressed in the 2012 CRP PEA 

and FONSI); and 

• Providing transition options for 

expiring contracts to enroll in other 

conservation programs.
