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.

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
