SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Agricultural Foreign Investment 

Disclosure Act Report. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0097. 

Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 

2022. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Abstract: AFIDA requires foreign 

persons who hold, acquire, or dispose of 

any interest in U.S. agricultural land to 

report the transactions and holdings to 

FSA on an AFIDA report (FSA–153). 

The information collected is made 

available to States. Also, the information 

collected from the AFIDA reports is 

used to prepare an annual report to 

Congress. 

The number of respondents increased 

by 2,250, and the burden hours 

increased by 1,063. The increase is 

because more foreign persons acquired 

or transferred an interest in U.S. 

agricultural land than in prior years and 

must comply with AFIDA reporting 

requirements. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per responses hours multiplied by 

the estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Respondent Burden: 

Public reporting burden for the 

information collection is estimated to 

average 0.476 hours per response. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, businesses or other for 

profit farms. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 7,775. 

Estimated Number of Reponses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

7,775. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 0.476 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3,694 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

FSA, including whether the information 

will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s 

estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.
