Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce (DOC) 

will submit to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA). 

Title: Survey of Ocean Freight 

Revenues and Foreign Expenses of 

United States Carriers (BE–30) and 

Survey of U.S. Airline Operators’ 

Foreign Revenues and Expenses (BE– 

37). 

OMB Control Number: 0608–0011. 

Form Number(s): BE–30 and BE–37. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 864 (BE–30: 560 hours; 

BE–37: 304 hours). 

Number of Respondents: 54 per 

quarter; 216 annually (BE–30: 35 per 

quarter; 140 annually; BE–37: 19 per 

quarter; 76 annually). 

Average Hours per Response: 4. 

Needs and Uses: The BEA is 

responsible for the compilation of the 

U.S. international transactions accounts 

(ITAs), which it publishes quarterly in 

news releases, on its Web site, and in its 

monthly journal, the Survey of Current 

Business. These accounts provide a 

statistical summary of all U.S. 

international transactions and, as such, 

are one of the major statistical products 

of BEA. In addition, they provide input 

into other U.S. economic measures and 

accounts, contributing particularly to 

the National Income and Product 

Accounts. The ITAs are used 

extensively by both government and 

private organizations for national and 

international economic policy 

formulation and for analytical purposes. 

The information collected in these 

surveys is used to develop the 

‘‘transportation’’ portion of the ITAs. 

Without this information, an integral 

component of the ITAs would be 

omitted. No other Government agency 

collects comprehensive quarterly data 

on U.S. ocean carriers’ freight revenues 

and foreign expenses or U.S. airline 

operators’ foreign revenues and 

expenses. 

These surveys request information 

from U.S. ocean and air carriers engaged 

in international transportation of goods 

and/or passengers. The information is 

collected on a quarterly basis from U.S. 

ocean and air carriers whose total 

annual covered revenues or total annual 

covered expenses are, or are expected to 

be, $500,000 or more. U.S. ocean and air 

carriers whose total annual covered 

revenues and total annual covered 

expenses are, or are expected to be, each 

below $500,000 are exempt from 

reporting. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: The International 

Investment and Trade in Services 

Survey Act, 22 U.S.C. 3101–3108, as 

amended.

required if the total number of port calls 

by foreign ocean vessels handled by the 

U.S. agent in the reporting period is 

fewer than 40, or total annual covered

handled by the U.S. agent are below
