 | INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FPPA EVALUATION
 | FEDERAL AGENCIES
 | Use column I for USDA NRCS projects and activities evaluated.
 | Use column II plus as many others as needed to list the Federal agencies who requested FPPA                                                                                                        information from NRCS using Form AD-1006 or CPA-106. Agencies listed are for example only. Column headers should be changed to show agencies actually submitting forms to NRCS. Show actual name of agency at bottom of form.
 | Last column is a total of NRCS plus orther agencies' activities. This column is calculated by the spreadsheet and the cells are locked. No changes should be made to calculated values.
A. | List the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 processed on NRCS activities in row I, the number of AD-1006 and CPA-106 received from each agency across the row. The total number received will be calculated by the spreadsheet. (If needed, use additional copies of form CPA-2 to list Federal agencies requesting FPPA evaluations. Federal technical or financial assistance triggers FPPA evaluation, not state or local agencies.)
B. | List the number of activities evaluated by NRCS and the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 completed by NRCS and returned to the Federal agency.
C. | List the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 for which a copy of the form was returned to NRCS after a decision was made on the proposed project by the Federal agency. If the Federal agency who received the Form AD-1006 or CPA-106 does not return it for NRCS evaluation, enter 0.
D. | (1) For NRCS activities and each Federal agency, list the total number of acres of land to be converted to non-agricultural use by the PROPOSED projects. Total acres should include both farmland and non-farmland. In cases where a copy of the form was returned to NRCS after a decision was made, note the acres converted by the selected alternatives in the space labeled "CONVERTED".                                                     (2) Acres that were rated as IMPORTANT FARMLAND include Prime, [NAME], Statewide, or Local Importance. This number is calculated by the spreadsheet and should not be changed manually.                                                                                                                                                                      (3) Show how many acres were of Prime and/or [NAME].                                                                                                                                                                           (4) Show how many acres were of Statewide and/or Local Importance.                                                                                                                                                            (5) Show the average relative value of the land proposed for conversion and the average relative value of the land that was converted by the final decision.                                                                                                    For each AD-1006 or CPA-106 form, take the number of acres proposed for conversion (Part IIIC) and multiply it by the relative value (Part V). Add all of the results. Divide this by the total number of acres proposed for conversion. This number represents the average weighted value of land being proposed for conversion. Note that the number cannot exceed 100, since this is the maximum relative value.
E. | List the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 for which the project evaluated was a corridor type project (Some agencies may use AD-1006 for all evaluations.)
F. | List the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 for which Federal agencies listed at least one alternative in addition to the proposed site for conversion.
G. | List the number of Form AD-1006 and CPA-106 for which a state or local LESA system that had been placed on the STC list of approved LESA systems was available to be used to make the evaluation. See part II, line 4 of Form AD-1006.
H. | List the number of sites where the selected alternative was evaluated with an approved local LESA system (Was a local LESA system used?) See the last line of part VII of Form AD-1006.
I. | List the number of LESA systems that have been placed on the State Conservationists list of approved LESA systems since the Final FPPA rule was issued on July 5, 1984. This number can be found in each state office.
J. | List the total number of land evaluation systems that have been developed in your state since 1981, and are available to provide the land evaluation information required for FPPA. This number includes the number of completed LESA systems and counties with land evaluation systems.
K. | Comment on any additional information, facts, progress or problems relating to the implementation of FPPA.
