As noted above, these payment schedules were developed for use in Customer Service Toolkit (Toolkit) and will generally only be of use to NRCS employees. They are in Excel format and include a column titled "Cost Share Rate" - universally populated at 100%. This is not the actual or intended cost share rate, and can largely be ignored as it is a relic necessitated by the programming requirements of Toolkit and ProTracts, agency planning and contracting software. More detailed information on the cost share rates employed in development of the payment schedules is available on the programs area of the website.
