USDA Seeks Input on Farm Program Power of Attorney Form

## Summary

The Department of Agriculture wants your feedback on a form that lets someone act legally for you in certain farm programs. If you use or know someone who uses this Power of Attorney form, now’s the time to comment before July 24, 2026. This helps keep the form clear, useful, and less of a hassle—no extra costs, just smoother paperwork!

## Effects PRIA read

- Give Someone Legal Power Over Farm Deals: cost, medium. The USDA form FSA-211 lets you appoint an attorney-in-fact who can act for you in certain farm program transactions. That person may enter into binding agreements and may create legal liability for you; the form applies to programs run by the CCC, FSA, NRCS, FCIC, and RMA.
- Extra Signature Sheet for Entity Grantors: cost, low. If an entity (for example, a partnership, corporation, or LLC) needs more than one signature to appoint an attorney-in-fact, the USDA uses form FSA-211A as a signature continuation sheet. This lets entities supply additional signer information when granting power of attorney for covered programs.
- Paperwork Burden and Public Comment Window: cost, low. USDA estimates 16,000 respondents will complete the FSA-211/FSA-211A once, for a total of 7,750 burden hours. The agency is asking for public comments on the forms and will consider comments received by July 24, 2026.
