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
