M <br /> RCPP Project ID:2724 <br /> Implementation TA (negotiable)—Additional TA tasks are commonly needed to support Rental FA <br /> awards. These tasks are listed below. Where these tasks have not been completed by other means, <br /> including contributions or Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) funding, TA-I may be used to <br /> support them. <br /> Subject to NRCS determination that the TA-I retained for the tasks listed above, and for NRCS use <br /> generally, is adequate to support NRCS delivery of RCPP FA, TA-I for delivery of the tasks below may <br /> be negotiated and budgeted to support supplemental agreement negotiations. TA-I supplemental <br /> agreement negotiations are subject to additional statutory and programmatic considerations. <br /> TA tasks identified below must be performed by appropriately trained and qualified individual(s), as <br /> determined by NRCS. As a result,these TA tasks will typically be completed by NRCS staff familiar <br /> with agency policies and processes.
