**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Abstract

The Quarterly Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States— Transactions of U.S. Affiliate with Foreign Parent (BE–605) is a sample survey that collects data on transactions and positions between foreign-owned U.S. business enterprises and their ‘‘affiliated foreign groups’’ (i.e., their foreign parents and foreign affiliates of their foreign parents). The sample data are used to derive universe estimates in nonbenchmark years from similar data reported in the BE–12, Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, which is conducted every five years. The data are used in the preparation of the U.S. international transactions, national income and product, and input-output accounts and the net international investment position of the United States. The 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.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) proposes several changes to the survey that will improve the coverage and quality of BEA direct investment statistics and reduce respondent burden. BEA plans to add a check-box question that asks respondents whether they plan to expand their operation with a new facility. This information will be used to identify transactions that should be collected on the companion BE–13, Survey of New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, which is being reinstated in 2014. BEA plans to eliminate several questions related to organizational structure. These questions were intended to serve as an instruction on how to identify the consolidated U.S. affiliate. They will be replaced by an illustration that will provide the necessary guidance and eliminate the burden of answering questions each quarter. BEA plans to add questions to obtain the ultimate beneficial owner’s (UBO) name and country of incorporation when the UBO information changes or it is the company’s initial filing. In addition, BEA plans to make improvements to question wording, instructions, and formatting to elicit more complete and correct responses and to make the survey more consistent with other BEA
surveys.
II. Method of Collection

Form BE–605 is a quarterly report that must be filed within 30 days after the end of each quarter (45 days after the final quarter of the respondent’s fiscal year) by every U.S. business enterprise that is owned 10 percent or more by a foreign investor and that has total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income (positive or negative) of over $60 million.

As an alternative to filing paper forms, BEA offers its electronic filing option, the eFile system, for use in reporting on Form BE–605. For more information about eFile, go to www.bea.gov/efile.

Potential respondents are those U.S. business enterprises that were required to report on the BE–12, Benchmark
