Information Collection Request; Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act

Farm Service Agency and Farm Production and Conservation Business Center, Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Notice; request for comments.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act requirement, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) is requesting comments from all interested individuals and organizations on a revision of a currently approved information collection request associated with the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA). This revised form is the basis for the development of a streamlined process for electronic submission and retention of AFIDA disclosures, which is required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. Foreign persons, as defined by AFIDA, who are making amendments to existing filings, or filing land or leasehold dispositions, will continue to use the existing form as those filings are on paper.

We will consider comments that we receive by July 29, 2025.

We invite you to submit comments on the notice. You may submit comments, identified by Docket ID: FSA-2025-0001, in the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. All comments will be posted without change and will be publicly available on www.regulations.gov. The new, revised AFIDA form is available to view in Regulations.gov under Docket ID: FSA-2025-0001 as a supporting document.
