The Defense Production Act Questionnaire is used by the Navy to determine if a proposed lease involving foreign persons constitutes a Covered Real Estate Transaction under 50 U.S.C. §§ 4501-4568 and 31 C.F.R. Part 802. This questionnaire helps assess potential national security risks arising from foreign involvement and identify necessary mitigation measures. It requires information on foreign persons having control over the proposed lessee, contractors, or vendors, as well as details on subcontractors and any non-U.S. citizens performing work on the leased property. The form also includes a certification of accuracy and completeness, to be signed and dated with the organization's details.

The Department of the Navy is offering a lease for livestock grazing on approximately 7,326 acres of land at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Fallbrook, California (Parcel 4A01). The initial lease term is five years, from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030, with the government retaining the option to extend for five additional one-year periods, totaling a potential ten-year term. The lessee must pay an annual rent based on Animal Unit Months (AUMs), with a minimum of 1,200 AUMs per year, subject to adjustment in cases of extreme drought or increased forage availability. The lessee is also responsible for conservation and maintenance work as specified in a Grazing Conservation Plan, with potential for rent credit or payment for approved reimbursable work. The leased property's primary use remains military activities, with grazing as a secondary use. The lessee must provide a security deposit, maintain specified insurance, and comply with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Access to the station requires participation in the Defense Biometrics Identification System (DBIDS) and adherence to security protocols.
