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.
