View Rule

USDA is requesting public input via an ANPR on how foreign entities report agricultural land holdings in the United States through the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA). As part of implementing the National Farm Security Action Plan, USDA will consider comments for how it strengthens and protects American farmland, using this ANPR as a critical vehicle. The ANPR will be followed by a proposed rule and final rule. The AFIDA rule was last updated in 2006. Numerous aspects of 7 CFR part 781 are being addressed to propose much needed updates to an old regulation.
