Public Participation 

A. Attendance at Public Workshop 

If you plan to attend the public 

workshop, please notify Ms. Brenda 

Edwards at (202) 586–2945 or by email: 

Brenda.Edwards@ee.doe.gov. Please 

note that foreign nationals visiting DOE 

Headquarters are subject to advance 

screening procedures which require 

advance notice prior to attendance at 

the public meeting. If a foreign national 

wishes to participate in the public 

meeting, please inform DOE of this fact 

as soon as possible by contacting Ms. 

Brenda Edwards at (202) 586–2945 or by 

email to Brenda.Edwards@ee.doe.gov so

Due to the REAL ID Act implemented 

by the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), there have been recent 

changes regarding ID requirements for 

individuals wishing to enter Federal 

buildings from specific states and U.S. 

territories. Drivers’ licenses from the 

following states or territory will not be 

accepted for building entry and one of 

the alternate forms of ID listed below 

will be required. DHS has determined 

that regular drivers’ licenses (and ID 

cards) from the following jurisdictions 

are not acceptable for entry into DOE 

facilities: Alaska, American Samoa, 

Arizona, Louisiana, Maine, 

Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, 

Oklahoma and Washington. Acceptable 

alternate forms of Photo-ID include: U.S. 

Passport or Passport Card; an Enhanced 

ID-Card issued by the states of 

Minnesota, New York, or Washington 

(Enhanced licenses issued by these 

states are clearly marked Enhanced or 

Enhanced Drivers’ License); or a 

military ID or other Federal government 

issued Photo-ID card. 

DOE requires visitors with laptop 

computers to be checked upon entry 

into the building. Any person wishing 

to bring these devices into the Forrestal 

Building will be required to obtain a 

property pass. Visitors should avoid 

bringing these devices, or allow an extra 

45 minutes to check in. Please report to 

the Visitors’ Desk to have these devices 

checked before proceeding through 

security. 

In addition, you can attend the public 

workshop via webinar. Webinar 

information, participant instructions, 

and information about the capabilities 

available to webinar participants will be 

published on DOE’s Web site 

specifically established for this 

proceeding at http://www.energy.gov/gc/ 

convention-supplementarycompensation-rulemaking. Participants 

are responsible for ensuring their 

systems are compatible with the 

webinar software. 

B. Conduct of Public Workshop 

The Department will designate a DOE 

official to preside at the public 

workshop and may also use a 

professional facilitator to aid discussion. 

A court reporter will be present to 

record the proceeding and prepare a 

transcript. DOE reserves the right to 

schedule the order of presentations and 

to establish the procedures governing 

the conduct of the public workshop. 

Interested parties may submit comments 

on the proceedings and any aspect of 

the rulemaking at any point until the 

end of the comment period. 

The meeting will be conducted in an 

informal, conference style. DOE will 

allow time for prepared general 

statements by participants, and 

encourage all interested parties to share

will permit, as time allows, other 

participants to comment briefly on any 

general statements. At the end of all 

prepared statements on a topic, DOE 

will permit participants to clarify their 

statements briefly and comment on 

statements made by others. Participants 

should be prepared to answer questions 

by DOE and by other participants 

concerning these issues. DOE 

representatives may also ask questions 

concerning other matters relevant to this 

rulemaking. The official conducting the 

public meeting will accept additional 

comments or questions from those 

attending, as time permits. The 

presiding official will announce any 

further procedural rules or modification 

of the above procedures that may be 

needed for the proper conduct of the 

public meeting. 

In addition, DOE will accept for 

consideration questions or suggestions 

on topics for comment in advance of the 

workshop, by February 10, 2015. DOE 

may use the questions or topic 

suggestions to structure the discussion 

and enhance participation. A transcript 

of the public meeting will be included 

in the docket, which can be viewed as 

described in the Docket section of this 

notice.

Services Transactions Between U.S. 

Financial Services Providers and 

Foreign Persons 

AGENCY: Bureau of Economic Analysis, 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would 

amend regulations of the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA), Department 

of Commerce, to reinstate reporting 

requirements for the BE–180, 

Benchmark Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons. 

Benchmark surveys are conducted every 

five years; the prior survey covered 

2009. For the 2014 benchmark survey, 

BEA proposes one change in the data 

items collected. This mandatory survey 

would be conducted under the authority 

of the International Investment and 

Trade in Services Survey Act (the Act). 

Unlike most other BEA surveys 

conducted pursuant to the Act, a 

response would be required from 

persons subject to the reporting 

requirements of the BE–180, Benchmark 

Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons, 

whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA, to ensure complete coverage of 

financial services transactions between 

U.S. financial services providers and 

foreign persons.
