Office of The Secretary; Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) gives notice that it proposes to modify an existing system of records notice titled Farm Records File (Automated) USDA/FSA-2, which currently includes information for certain Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Programs and records about the majority of agricultural producers in the United States. USDA is modifying the system to add new purposes, new categories of covered individuals, new categories of records and record sources, a new system location, and four new routine uses, all related to USDA activities under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA).
