Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Notices 17451 

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.
