262 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 5, § 002
Unless a district establishes and informs the Department of lower average unit costs, the average unit costs for a county shall be identical to any established and utilized by NRCS for the same type of projects and practices in that county. If average unit costs are not established by NRCS for an eligible practice in a county, the Commission itself may establish average unit costs for such project or practice in such county. Except for applications filed with the Commission in accordance with Chapter 2, Subsection 001.03, all applications for cost-sharing assistance shall be based upon the then current average unit costs. Once an application has been completed by a landowner, the same average unit costs in effect at the time the application was completed shall be utilized for determining the cost-share payment to which each landowner is entitled unless the district and the landowner agree to use updated average unit costs.
