summary: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is amending its regulations
  to ensure that wetland determinations issued after November 28, 1990, have been
  and will be certified as sufficient to serve as the basis for determining ineligibility
  for certain USDA program benefits under the Wetland Conservation provisions of the
  Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Certification requires notifying the affected
  person at the time of the determination and informing them of their appeal rights.
  This interim rule addresses inconsistencies in how wetland determinations certified
  and issued between November 28, 1990, and July 3, 1996, have been treated. It also
  responds to a February 22, 2024, Federal court ruling that determined that Natural
  Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) did not fully meet procedural requirements
  in its 2020 final rule concerning certification of pre-1996 determinations. This
  interim rule aligns USDA's regulations with the governing statute, legislative history,
  and congressional intent.
