b. Request permission to access their producer/landowner information (known as Customer Folder), as described below.
Overview

The form is delivered to the NRCS local Field Office . If the Field Office is unable to help or there are delays in the process, the TSP may also contact the NRCS State Point of Contact listed below, or get in touch with [email protected] for assistance.
3. State Points of Contact for granting permissions
If the local Field Office is unable to assist, the permission form can be submitted to the State Point of Contact, listed in the following table. The actual steps by the NRCS staff are shown in this video: Granting Permissions to Customer Folders in the NRCS system
