Public Law 95–460, to cover the 

collection of the information was

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

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

investment and the impact of such 

holdings upon family farms and rural 

communities.
