About This PDF
Effective March 23, 2018, landowners and producers who participate as a legal entity in Natural Resources Conservation Service financial assistance programs and conservation easement programs are now exempt from the requirement to obtain a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (2018 Omnibus Act), exempted landowners and producers participating in NRCS conservation programs from these requirements. This factsheet helps explain the 2018 Omnibus Act nixing requirement for farmers.
