Government Shutdown!

Due to a lapse in federal funding NRCS will be undergoing an orderly shutdown. As a non-Federal partner, please take note of the following: 

• All work under NRCS authority will cease during a shutdown except those activities deemed as excepted. Nearly all non-Federal staff are deemed non-excepted and may not perform NRCS activities. Those working “ excepted” will receive separate notification. 
• All space leased by NRCS will be closed during the government shutdown. You will not have access to any government facilities. 
• No government-issued equipment may be used during the shutdown. All government-issued equipment (e.g. laptop, cell phone, iPad, etc.) must be powered down and secured in a location designated by your local NRCS office manager. 
• The use of government owned or leased vehicles is prohibited.
