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 

U.S. agricultural land to the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) . 

Authority for 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. 

Investors are required to file a report 

within 90 days of the acquisition, 

transfer, or change in the use of their

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information collected from the AFIDA

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, USDA 

could not effectively monitor foreign 

investment and the impact of such 

holdings upon family farms and rural 

communities.
