15 CFR Part 801 

[Docket No. 1206013202–4700–01] 

RIN 0691–AA83 

Direct Investment Surveys: BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad 

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 reinstate reporting 

requirements for the 2014 BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad. Benchmark surveys 

are conducted every five years; the prior 

survey covered 2009. The benchmark 

survey covers the universe of U.S. direct 

investment abroad, and is BEA’s most 

comprehensive survey of such 

investment in terms of subject matter. 

For the 2014 benchmark survey, BEA 

will make changes in the data items 

collected. No changes will be made to 

the reporting requirements for the 

survey. This mandatory survey will be 

conducted under the authority of the 

International Investment and Trade in 

Services Survey Act (the Act). Unlike 

many other BEA surveys conducted 

pursuant to the Act, a response will be 

required from persons subject to the 

reporting requirements of the BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad, whether or not they 

are contacted by BEA, in order to ensure 

that respondents subject to the 

requirements for U.S. direct investment 

abroad are identified. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

December 22, 2014.

Patricia Abaroa, Chief, Direct 

Investment Division (BE–50), Bureau of 

Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Washington, DC 20230;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

14, 2014, BEA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking that set forth 

revised reporting criteria for the BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad (79 FR 47599– 

47603). On September 9, 2014, BEA 

published a correction to the notice of 

proposed rulemaking to correct the 

Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) that 

was listed in the first notice (79 FR 

53355). BEA received two comments on 

the proposed rule. 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
69042 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 224 / Thursday, November 20, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

One comment was written on behalf 

of hedge fund managers that are subject 

to BE–10 reporting requirements. The 

letter suggested that the BE–10 survey is 

not well suited to hedge funds and that 

for these respondents the burden of 

reporting is significant. The commenter 

made several recommendations, 

including (1) that entities that are not 

contacted by BEA should have no 

reporting responsibilities (similar to 

other BEA surveys), (2) that BEA should 

not require reporting by U.S. investment 

managers on their management of nonU.S. investment funds, and (3) that BEA 

should provide survey instructions 

specific to hedge fund filers. BEA is 

very concerned about respondent 

burden and has employed several 

strategies to reduce the burden where 

possible. BEA cannot implement the 

first two recommendations because of 

the legal requirements and the statistical 

needs that govern how the data are 

collected and tabulated. To address the 

third recommendation, BEA will 

consider what additional guidance it 

can offer to hedge fund filers, possibly 

in the form of Frequently Asked 

Questions (FAQs). 

The other commenter was a data user 

that urged BEA to reorient the BE–10 

survey to address current issues related 

to global value chains and trade in value 

added. The commenter recommended 

that BEA systematically capture data on 

firm sales of goods and services by 

business function and international 

surveys industry (ISI) code, imports and 

exports by country, and distribution of 

sales and purchases by type of 

customer. The commenter also 

suggested that BEA reorganize the BE– 

10 survey to collect data in matrix 

format. BEA does not collect sales by 

business function and would need to 

explore the feasibility of collecting this 

information by conducting outreach to 

respondent companies to determine 

what information classified by business 

function might be available in their 

records. BEA will consider this addition 

for future surveys. BEA does collect 

sales data by ISI code and by type of 

customer as well as data on trade in 

services by country and on affiliated 

goods trade by country. To offer 

additional information that will be 

useful in analysis of trade in value 

added, BEA will add questions to the 

BE–10 survey to collect a regional 

breakdown of unaffiliated goods trade 

by U.S. parent companies. The BE–10 

does not cover purchased inputs and 

BEA believes that this information 

would be more accurately reported on 

establishment level surveys. Regarding 

survey design, BEA has tended to 

minimize use of matrix formatting on 

the BE–10 survey because of feedback 

from experts in survey response 

indicating that matrix formatting leads 

to unit and item nonresponse on 

surveys. 

The additional questions related to 

unaffiliated trade in goods (described in 

the Description of Changes section 

below) will be reflected in the final 

versions of the forms. This final rule 

adds 15 CFR 801.8 to set forth the 

reporting requirements for the BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad. BEA conducts the 

BE–10 survey under the authority of the 

International Investment and Trade in 

Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101– 

3108). 

By rule issued in 2012 (77 FR 24373), 

BEA established guidelines for 

collecting data on international trade in 

services and direct investment through 

notices, rather than through rulemaking. 

This final rule amends the regulations to 

require a response from persons subject 

to the reporting requirements of the BE– 

10, whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA, in order to ensure complete 

coverage of U.S. direct investment 

abroad. 

The benchmark survey covers the U.S. 

direct investment abroad universe and 

is BEA’s most comprehensive survey of 

such investment in terms of subject 

matter. U.S. direct investment abroad is 

defined as the ownership or control, 

directly or indirectly, by one U.S. 

person of 10 percent or more of the 

voting securities of an incorporated 

foreign business enterprise or an 

equivalent interest in an unincorporated 

foreign business enterprise, including a 

branch. 

The purpose of the benchmark survey 

is to obtain universe data on the 

financial and operating characteristics 

of, and on positions and transactions 

between, U.S. parent companies and 

their foreign affiliates. The data are 

needed to measure the size and 

economic significance of U.S. direct 

investment abroad, measure changes in 

such investment, and assess its impact 

on the U.S. and foreign economies. 

These data are used to derive current 

universe estimates of direct investment 

from sample data collected in other BEA 

surveys in non-benchmark years. In 

particular, they would serve as 

benchmarks for the quarterly direct 

investment estimates included in the 

U.S. international transactions, 

international investment position, and 

national income and product accounts, 

and for annual estimates of the 

operations of U.S. parent companies and 

their foreign affiliates. 

Description of Changes 

The changes amend the regulations 

and the survey forms for the BE–10 

benchmark survey. These amendments 

include changes in the data items 

collected and questionnaire design. 

Under the revised regulations, unlike 

many other BEA surveys conducted 

pursuant to the Act, persons subject to 

the reporting requirements of the BE–10, 

Survey of U.S. Direct Investment 

Abroad, are required to respond 

whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA. 

BEA will add and delete some items 

on the benchmark survey forms. Most of 

the additions are made in response to 

suggestions from data users. The 

following items will be added to the 

benchmark survey: 

(1) For U.S. parent companies, 

questions will be added to collect data 

on the U.S. imports of goods by the 

intended use of the goods and by 

whether the shipper of the goods is a 

foreign affiliate or an unaffiliated 

foreign entity. 

(2) For U.S. parent companies, 

questions will be added to collect data 

on U.S. exports to and imports from 

unaffiliated foreigners in the following 

regions: Canada, Europe, Latin America 

and other Western Hemisphere, Africa, 

Middle East, and Asia and Pacific. 

(3) For larger U.S. parent companies 

(those with assets, sales, or net income 

greater than $300 million), questions 

will be added to collect information on 

assets, liabilities, and interest receipts 

and payments that are related to 

banking activities. These questions are 

collected on the Annual Survey of U.S. 

Direct Investment Abroad (BE–11). 

(4) A question will be added to collect 

the city in which each foreign affiliate 

is located. 

(5) For majority-owned foreign 

affiliates with assets, sales, or net 

income greater than $80 million, a 

question will be added to the balance 

sheet to collect data on cash and cash 

equivalents. 

(6) For larger majority-owned foreign 

affiliates (those with assets, sales, or net 

income greater than $300 million), 

questions will be added to the section 

on sales to collect the top five countries 

(besides the U.S. and the country of the 

affiliate) to which the affiliates made 

sales. For each country, sales will be 

categorized by customer: ‘‘other foreign 

affiliates of the U.S. Reporter(s)’’ and 

‘‘unaffiliated customers.’’ An ‘‘all other’’ 

item will also be added after the top five 

countries. Questions on sales by region 

of destination will be retained. 

(7) For majority-owned foreign 

affiliates with assets, sales, or net 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 224 / Thursday, November 20, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 69043 

income greater than $80 million, 

questions will be added to the section 

on royalties and license fees to collect 

receipts from U.S. parents, receipts from 

other U.S. persons, payments to U.S. 

parents, and payments to other U.S. 

persons. On the previous benchmark 

survey, this section only included 

receipts from and payments to foreign 

persons. 

(8) For foreign affiliates with assets, 

sales, or net income greater than $25 

million, several check-box questions 

will be added to ensure that certain 

types of finance companies do not 

report intercompany debt to BEA that is 

already reported on Treasury 

International Capital surveys. Similar 

questions are included in the Quarterly 

Survey of U.S. Direct Investment 

Abroad (BE–577). 

(9) For foreign affiliates with assets, 

sales, or net income between $25 

million and $80 million, a question will 

be added to collect expenditures for 

research and development performed by 

the foreign affiliate. 

Several questions will be modified: 

(1) Questions on contract 

manufacturing will be updated to 

incorporate improved wording. 

(2) The cash item on the balance sheet 

for U.S. parent companies will be 

modified to include cash equivalents. 

BEA will eliminate several items from 

the benchmark survey because they are 

no longer used: 

(1) Official foreign identification 

numbers issued by host-country 

governments to foreign affiliates on BE– 

10B. 

(2) Withholding taxes on interest 

received from and paid to U.S. parent 

companies by foreign affiliates on BE– 

10B. 

In addition, BEA will redesign the 

survey questionnaires. The new design 

will incorporate improvements made to 

other BEA surveys. Survey instructions 

and data item descriptions will be 

changed to improve clarity and make 

the benchmark survey forms more 

consistent with those of other BEA 

surveys. 

Executive Order 12866 

This final rule has been determined to 

be not significant for purposes of E.O. 

12866. 

Executive Order 13132 

This final rule does not contain 

policies with Federalism implications 

sufficient to warrant preparation of a 

Federalism assessment under E.O. 

13132. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collection of information in this 

final rule has been submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA). OMB has pre-approved the 

information collection under OMB 

control number 0608–0049. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the PRA unless 

that collection displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. 

The BE–10 survey is expected to 

result in the filing of reports from 

approximately 3,900 respondents. The 

respondent burden for this collection of 

information will vary from one 

company to another, but is estimated to 

average 144 hours per response, 

including time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Thus the total respondent burden for 

this survey is estimated at 561,100 

hours, compared to 459,400 hours for 

the previous (2009) benchmark survey. 

The increase in burden hours is due to 

an increase in the size of the respondent 

universe. 

Written comments regarding the 

burden-hour estimates or other aspects 

of the collection-of-information 

requirements contained in the final rule 

should be sent to both BEA via email at 

Patricia.Abaroa@bea.gov, and to OMB, 

O.I.R.A., Paperwork Reduction Project 

0608–0049, Attention PRA Desk Officer 

for BEA, via email at pbugg@

omb.eop.gov or by FAX at (202) 395– 

7245. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Chief Counsel for Regulation, 

Department of Commerce, certified at 

the proposed rule stage to the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy, Small Business 

Administration, under the provisions of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 605(b), that this final rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The factual basis for the 

certification was published in the 

proposed rule and is not repeated here. 

No comments were received regarding 

the certification or the economic impact 

of the rule more generally. No final 

regulatory flexibility analysis was 

prepared.

rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
69044 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 224 / Thursday, November 20, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

(a) Response required. A response is 

required from persons subject to the 

reporting requirements of the BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad—2014, contained 

herein, whether or not they are 

contacted by BEA. Also, a person, or 

their agent, that is contacted by BEA 

about reporting in this survey, either by 

sending them a report form or by 

written inquiry, must respond in writing 

pursuant this section. This may be 

accomplished by: 

(1) Certifying in writing, by the due 

date of the survey, to the fact that the 

person had no direct investment within 

the purview of the reporting 

requirements of the BE–10 survey; 

(2) Completing and returning the 

‘‘BE–10 Claim for Not Filing’’ by the due 

date of the survey; or 

(3) Filing the properly completed BE– 

10 report (comprising Form BE–10A and 

Form(s) BE–10B, BE–10C, and/or BE– 

10D) by May 29, 2015, or June 30, 2015, 

as required. 

(b) Who must report. (1) A BE–10 

report is required of any U.S. person 

that had a foreign affiliate—that is, that 

had direct or indirect ownership or 

control of at least 10 percent of the 

voting stock of an incorporated foreign 

business enterprise, or an equivalent 

interest in an unincorporated foreign 

business enterprise, including a 

branch—at any time during the U.S. 

person’s 2014 fiscal year. 

(2) If the U.S. person had no foreign 

affiliates during its 2014 fiscal year, a 

‘‘BE–10 Claim for Not Filing’’ must be 

filed by the due date of the survey; no 

other forms in the survey are required. 

If the U.S. person had any foreign 

affiliates during its 2014 fiscal year, a 

BE–10 report is required and the U.S. 

person is a U.S. Reporter in this survey. 

(3) Reports are required even if the 

foreign business enterprise was 

established, acquired, seized, 

liquidated, sold, expropriated, or 

inactivated during the U.S. person’s 

2014 fiscal year. 

(4) The amount and type of data 

required to be reported vary according 

to the size of the U.S. Reporters or 

foreign affiliates, and, for foreign 

affiliates, whether they are majorityowned or minority-owned by U.S. direct 

investors. For purposes of the BE–10 

survey, a ‘‘majority-owned’’ foreign 

affiliate is one in which the combined 

direct and indirect ownership interest of 

all U.S. parents of the foreign affiliate 

exceeds 50 percent; all other affiliates 

are referred to as ‘‘minority-owned’’ 

affiliates. 

(c) Forms to be filed. (1) Form BE–10A 

must be completed by a U.S. Reporter. 

If the U.S. Reporter is a corporation, 

Form BE–10A is required to cover the 

fully consolidated U.S. domestic 

business enterprise. It must also file 

Form(s) BE–10B, C, and/or D for its 

foreign affiliates, whether held directly 

or indirectly. 

(2) Form BE–10B must be filed for 

each majority-owned foreign affiliate for 

which any of the following three 

items—total assets, sales or gross 

operating revenues excluding sales 

taxes, or net income after provision for 

foreign income taxes—was greater than 

$80 million (positive or negative) at any 

time during the affiliate’s 2014 fiscal 

year. 

(3) Form BE–10C must be filed: 

(i) For each majority-owned foreign 

affiliate for which any one of the three 

items listed in paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section was greater than $25 million but 

for which none of these items was 

greater than $80 million (positive or 

negative), at any time during the 

affiliate’s 2014 fiscal year, and 

(ii) For each minority-owned foreign 

affiliate for which any one of the three 

items listed in (c)(2) of this section was 

greater than $25 million (positive or 

negative), at any time during the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On December 10, 2012 (77 FR 73294), 

the Commission issued a rule requiring 

special packaging (also called childresistant or CR packaging) for any overthe-counter or prescription products 

containing the equivalent of 0.08 

milligrams or more of a specified 

imidazoline (tetrahydrozoline, 

naphazoline, oxymetazoline, or 

xylometazoline) in a single package. 16 

CFR 1700.14(a)(3). The rule included an 

effective date of 1 year after publication 

of the rule in the Federal Register 

(making the effective date December 10, 

2013); however, in consideration of 

concerns raised in comments on the 

proposed rule, the Commission allowed 

manufacturers of imidazoline products 

subject to the rule to avail themselves of 

a 1-year conditional stay of enforcement 

(77 FR 73300). Firms meeting the
