Fuel policy, minimum fuel at destination USA

Hi
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but I'm unable to find it, so I ask the question straight away:
In Europe (commercial jet) I'm required to have my final reserve in my tank after landing (30min holding 1500ft above Dest (if no alternate needed) or Alternate).

Soon I'll be flying to the USA, some Pilots told me I need Final Reserve + Alternate fuel in my tanks after landing.
Is that true, and where can I find any reference on that?
Thanks in advance.
