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:

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;

estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and
