**Direct Investment Surveys: BE–12, Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct**  **Investment in the United States**

**AGENCY :**  Bureau of Economic Analysis, Commerce.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This final rule amends regulations of the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to set forth the reporting requirements for the 2012 BE–12, Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States. The BE–12 survey is conducted every five years; the prior survey covered 2007. The benchmark survey covers the universe of foreign direct investment in the United States, and is BEA’s most detailed survey of such investment. For the 2012 benchmark survey, BEA is changing reporting thresholds and data items collected, as well as changing the names and design of the survey forms. The changes are intended to align the data collection program for multinational companies with available resources and align the statistics on multinational companies with recent changes in financial accounting standards and international statistical standards.

**DATES :**  This final rule will be effective January 20, 2012. **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  David H. Galler, Chief, Direct Investment Division (BE–50), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; email David.Galler@bea.gov or phone (202) 606–9835.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On September 21, 2011, BEA published a notice of proposed rulemaking that set forth revised reporting criteria for the BE–12, Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States (76 FR 58420–58424). No comments on the proposed rule were received. Thus the proposed rule is adopted without change. This final rule amends 15 CFR 806.17 to set forth the reporting requirements for the BE–12, Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States.

The BEA conducts the BE–12 survey under the authority of the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101–3108), hereinafter, ‘‘the Act.’’ Section 3103(b) of the Act provides that ‘‘with respect to foreign direct investment in the United States, the President shall conduct a benchmark survey covering year 1980, a benchmark survey covering year 1987, and benchmark surveys covering every fifth year thereafter.’’

The benchmark survey covers the universe of foreign direct investment in the United States in terms of value, and is BEA’s most detailed survey of such investment. Foreign direct investment in the United States is defined as the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, by one foreign person (foreign parent) of ten percent or more of the voting securities of an incorporated U.S. business enterprise or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated U.S. business enterprise, including a branch.

The purpose of the benchmark survey is to obtain universe data on the financial and operating characteristics of U.S. affiliates, and on positions and transactions between U.S. affiliates and their foreign parent groups (which are defined to include all foreign parents and foreign affiliates of foreign parents). These data are needed to measure the size and economic significance of foreign direct investment in the United States, measure changes in such investment, and assess its impact on the U.S. economy. Such data are generally found in enterprise-level accounting records of respondent companies. These data are used to derive current universe estimates of direct investment from sample data collected in other BEA surveys in nonbenchmark years. In particular, they serve as benchmarks for
