Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, 

New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, 

North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, 

Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 

South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, 

Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West 

Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming to 

include hydrology indicators for the 

identification of FWs that are not 

playas, pocosins, or potholes. These 

indicators will be used by NRCS to 

identify FWs as part of the technical 

documents and procedures to conduct 

wetland determinations on agricultural 

land for USDA program eligibility 

purposes as required by law as specified 

in 16 U.S.C. 3822. 

The controlling regulations for the 

wetland conservation (WC) provisions 

of the Food Security Act of 1985, as 

amended, are provided in 7 CFR part 12, 

‘‘Highly Erodible Land and Wetland 

Conservation.’’ The regulations’ broad 

definition of ‘‘wetland determination’’ 

describe an FW (in part) using two 

criteria. First, an FW is a wetland that 

prior to December 23, 1985, was 

manipulated and used to produce an 

agricultural commodity at least once 

before December 23, 1985. Second, FWs 

are described as wetlands that on 

December 23, 1985, did not support 

woody vegetation, and met the 

following hydrologic criteria: If not a 

playa, pocosin, or pothole, experienced 

inundation for 15 consecutive days or 

more during the growing season or 10 

percent of the growing season, 

whichever is less, in most years (50- 

percent chance or more). 

To decide effectively whether an area 

supports the required inundation for a 

FW that is not identified as a playa, 

pocosin, or pothole, the regulations then 

provide three options: 

1. Observation of wetland hydrology 

indicators as identified in the local 

NRCS Field Office Technical Guide; 

2. Procedures identified in State OffSite Methods for wetland identification 

set forth in the local NRCS Field Office 

Technical Guide; or 

3. The use of analytic techniques, 

such as the use of drainage equations or 

the evaluation of monitoring data. 

The proposed FW hydrology 

indicators provide those NRCS will use 

under option one. 

On August 28, 2020, USDA published 

a final rule in the Federal Register (85 

FR 53137–53152) for the highly erodible 

land and wetland conservation 

provisions of the Food Security Act of 

1985, as amended. The rule changed 

how NRCS identifies hydrology criteria 

for FWs that are not playas, pocosins, or 

potholes, consistent with the discussion 

above. Prior to that final rule, the 

regulations specified that NRCS would 

identify FWs by using hydrology 

indicators showing evidence of recent 

inundation as contained in the 

applicable regional supplement to the 

Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation 

Manual. 

The preamble to the August 28, 2020, 

final rule provided that until such time 

as the updates to the NRCS Field Office 

Technical Guides have been published 

and public notice provided, NRCS will 

continue to use Group B (Evidence of 

Recent Inundation) hydrology indicators 

from the regional supplements to the 

Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation 

Manual, as specified in the interim rule, 

published December 7, 2018, in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 63046–63052), 

to identify FWs that are not playas, 

pocosins, or potholes. Those Group B 

wetland hydrology indicators currently 

used by NRCS can be found in the 

regional supplements to the Corps of 

Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual 

at https://www.usace.army.mil/ 

Missions/Civil-Works/RegulatoryProgram-and-Permits/reg_supp/. The 

Corps of Engineers hydrology indicators 

will no longer be used by NRCS for the 

identification of FWs that are not 

playas, pocosins, or potholes once the 

State-specific NRCS indicators are 

considered final and published in 

Section 1 of each State’s Field Office 

Technical Guide. 

Notification and Public Comment 

Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture 

Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 

(16 U.S.C. 3862 note) specifies that 

USDA must allow public notice and 

comment for revisions to NRCS State 

technical guides which are used to carry 

out the Food Security Act of 1985 

highly erodible land and wetland 

conservation provisions (16 U.S.C. 

3801–3824). 

NRCS will consider all comments that 

are received during the 30-day comment 

period. The final version of the Field 

Office Technical Guide for the States of 

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, 

California, Caribbean Area, Colorado, 

Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Notices 52635 

Needs and Uses: The Redistricting 

Data Program (RDP) is one of many 

voluntary programs that collects 

boundaries to update the U.S. Census 

Bureau’s geographic database of 

addresses, streets, and boundaries. The 

Census Bureau uses its geographic 

database to link demographic data from 

surveys and the decennial census to 

locations and areas, such as cities, 

congressional and legislative districts, 

and counties. To tabulate statistics by 

localities, the Census Bureau must have 

accurate addresses and boundaries. 

Specifically, the RDP provides states 

the opportunity to delineate voting 

districts and to suggest census block 

boundaries for use in the 2020 Census 

redistricting data tabulations (Pub. L. 

94–171 Redistricting Data File). In 

addition, the RDP periodically collects 

state legislative and congressional 

district boundaries if they are changed 

by the states. After the 2020 Census, 

states may use 2020 data tabulated for 

census blocks, voting districts, and 

possibly other geographic areas such as 

cities, counties, etc., as considerations 

when they draw their new congressional 

and legislative district boundaries. 

States are the only authority that can 

choose where and how to draw their 

boundaries. The boundaries collected in 

the RDP and other geographic programs 

will create census blocks, which are the 

building blocks for all Census Bureau 

geographic boundaries. While the 

geographic programs differ in 

requirements, time frame, and 

participants, the RDP and the other 

geographic programs all follow the same 

basic process: 

1. The Census Bureau invites eligible 

participants to the program. For the 

RDP, the Census Bureau invites nonpartisan state liaisons appointed by the 

legislative majority and minority 

leadership of each state. 

2. If they elect to participate in the 

program, participants receive a digital 

copy of the boundaries the Census 

Bureau has on file. Participants review 

the boundaries and update them if 

needed. RDP participants can choose to 

review and provide their boundary 

updates using a free customized 

mapping software, or their own 

mapping software. 

3. Participants return their updates to 

the Census Bureau. 

4. The Census Bureau updates their 

geographic database with boundary 

updates from participants. 

5. The Census Bureau uses the newly 

updated boundaries and addresses to 

tabulate statistics. 

The Census Bureau is requesting a 

clearance to continue the RDP. As the 

current Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Control Number 0607– 

0988 will expire in November 2021, the 

new clearance will allow the Census 

Bureau to provide RDP-specific 

materials, burden hours, and procedures 

to the 52 state liaisons to complete 

Phase 4: Collection of Post 2020 Census 

Redistricting Data Plans and Phase 5: 

Review of the 2020 Census RDP and 

Recommendations for the 2030 RDP. 

The RDP is executed under the 

provisions of Title 13, Section 141(c) of 

the United States Code (U.S.C.). 

Under the provisions of Public Law 

94–171, as amended (Title 13, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), Section 141(c)), the 

Secretary of Commerce, who designates 

this responsibility to the Director of the 

Census Bureau, is required to provide 

the officers or public bodies having 

initial responsibility for the legislative 

apportionment or districting of each 

state with the opportunity to specify 

geographic areas (e.g., Voting Districts 

(wards and election precincts), 

congressional and state legislative 

districts, and census blocks) for which 

they wish to receive decennial census 

population counts for the purpose of 

reapportionment or redistricting and to 

deliver those counts in a timely manner. 

The Census Bureau issued invitation 

letters by mail (U.S. Postal Service) and 

follow-up emails to the officers or 

public bodies having initial 

responsibility for legislative 

reapportionment and redistricting. The 

50 states, the District of Columbia, and 

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 

designated non-partisan liaisons to 

serve as the primary point of contact 

with the Census Bureau on the 2020 

Census RDP. 

Phase 1: Block Boundary Suggestion 

Project was conducted and completed in 

fiscal years 2015 through 2017. 

Phase 2: The Voting District Project 

was conducted and completed in fiscal 

years 2018 through 2020. 

Phase 3: Delivery of the 2020 

Decennial Census Redistricting Data 

was originally scheduled for completion 

on April 1, 2021. Due to COVID–19- 

related delays and prioritizing the 

delivery of the apportionment results, 

the Census Bureau completed delivery 

of the redistricting data to all states and 

state equivalents on August 12, 2021 

and again in more usable format on 

September 16, 2021. 

Phase 4: Collection of Post Census 

Redistricting Data Plans. Between 

January 2022 and July 2022, the Census 

Bureau will solicit from each state the 

newly drawn 118th Congressional 

Districts and State Legislative Districts. 

This effort will occur every two years in 

advance of the 2030 Census to update 

these boundaries with new or changed 

plans. A verification phase will occur 

with each update. 

Phase 5: Review of the 2020 Census 

RDP and Recommendations for the 2030 

Census RDP (2020 post-data collection). 

As the final phase of the 2020 Census 

RDP, the Census Bureau will work with 

the states to conduct a thorough review 

of the RDP. The intent of this review, 

and the final report that results, is to 

provide guidance to the Secretary and 

the Census Bureau Director in planning 

the 2030 Census RDP. 

No changes have been made since the 

RDP 60-day notification was published 

on Friday, May 07, 2021, Vol. 86, No. 

87, pages 24582–24584. 

Affected Public: All 50 states, the 

District of Columbia, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: Every 10 years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
