Farm Service Agency
Title: Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act Report.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0097.
Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Foreign Investment
Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA) requires foreign investors to report in
a timely manner all held, acquired, or transferred United States
agricultural land under penalty of law to Farm Service Agency (FSA).
Authority under the 92 STAT (1263-1267) or 7 U.S.C. 3501-3508 or Public
Law 95-460, to cover the collection of the information was delegated by
the Secretary of Agriculture to the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Foreign
investors may obtain form FSA-153, AFIDA Report, from their local FSA
county office or from the FSA internet site.
Need and Use of the Information: The regulation in the 7 CFR part
781.1-5, requires foreign investors who buy, sell, or hold a direct or
indirect interest in U.S. agricultural land to report their holdings
and transactions to FSA. The information collected from the AFIDA
Reports is used to monitor the effect of foreign investment upon family
farms and rural communities and in the preparation of a voluntary
report to Congress and the President. Congress reviews the report and
decides if regulatory action is necessary to limit the amount of
foreign investment in U.S. agricultural land. If this information was
not collected, FSA could not effectively monitor foreign investment and
the impact of such holdings upon family farms and rural communities.

collect the following information that the producer is required to
provide on the FSA-409 and FSA 409 A: farm serial number, program year,
