DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted 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.

Title: Benchmark Survey of Foreign

Direct Investment in the United States—

1997.

Form: BE–12(LF), BE–12(SF), BE–12

Bank, BE–12(X).

Agency Approval Number: 0608–

0042.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of a previously approved

collection for which approval has

expired.

Burden: 245,000 hours.

Number of respondents: 11,000.

Avg Hours Per Response: 22 hours.

Needs and Uses: The purpose of the

benchmark survey is to obtain

enterprise-level data on the amount,

types, and financial and operating

characteristics of foreign direct

investment in the United States. The

data from the survey will be used to

measure the economic significance of

such investment and to analyze its

effects on the U.S. economy. They will

also be used in formulating, and

assessing the impact of, U.S. policy on

foreign direct investment.

The data from the survey will provide

benchmarks for deriving current

universe estimates of direct investment

from sample data collected in other BEA

surveys in nonbenchmark years. In

particular, they will serve as

benchmarks for the quarterly direct

investment estimates included in the

U.S. international transactions and

national income and product accounts,

and for annual estimates of the foreign

direct investment position in the United

States and of the operations of the U.S.

affiliates of foreign companies. Data

from the benchmark survey are used by

BEA to compute U.S. affiliates’ gross

product or value added, which is used

to measure U.S. affiliates’ share of U.S.

gross domestic product and to evaluate

affiliates’ profitability and productivity.

Data on employment by affiliates are

used to link enterprise-level data on

foreign-owned companies collected in

the benchmark survey to establishmentlevel data for the same companies

collected by the Census Bureau.

The benchmark survey data also serve

as general purpose statistics and, as

such, are used to answer a wide variety

of research and policy questions.

International organizations—including

the United Nations, International

Monetary Fund, and Organization for

Economic Cooperation and

Development—use the data to help

assess the impact of direct investment

on the U.S. and foreign economies.

Numerous private researchers—

including researchers affiliated with the

National Bureau of Economic

Research—also use the data.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit institutions.

Frequency: Quinquennial.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 22 U.S.C.,

Sections 3101–3108, as amended.

0408, respectively.

Background: On April 26, 1996, the

USEC Privatization Act was signed into

law (Pub. L. 104–134, 42 USC 2297(h)

et seq.). In part, the USEC Privatization

Act provides for the measured delivery

into the United States market of the

natural uranium component of highly

enriched uranium (HEU) imported

pursuant to the Agreement Between the

Government of the United States of

America and the Government of the

Russian Federation Concerning the

Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium

Extracted from Nuclear Weapons, dated

February 18, 1993. Pursuant to Section

3112(b)(9) of the USEC Privatization

Act, the Department of Commerce (the

Department) is responsible for the

administration and enforcement of the

limitations set forth in Section 3112 of

the USEC Privatization Act.

Opportunity to Submit Comments:

The Department is preparing procedures

to administer and enforce the

limitations on the delivery of the natural

uranium associated with imports of low

enriched uranium (LEU) derived from

HEU according to the restrictions in the

USEC Privatization Act and the

Agreement Suspending the

Antidumping Investigation on Uranium

from the Russian Federation

(Suspension Agreement). The specific

elements of the proposal are included in

the attached Annex.

Prior to reaching a final decision on

this issue, the Department is providing

an opportunity for full participation on

the record to parties wishing to

comment. Accordingly, not later than 30

days from the date of publication of this

notice, parties may submit comments

with respect to the attached procedures

which will govern the administration

and enforcement of the limitations set

worth in Section 3112 of the USEC

Privatization Act. Six copies of the

comments should be submitted to:

Secretary of Commerce, Import

Administration, Central Records Unit,

Room 1870, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.

All comments provided to the

Department in response to this notice

will be subject to release under

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

in accordance with 19 CFR 353.32.

Therefore, all comments must properly

identify information the submitter

would like treated as business

proprietary, and be accompanied by a

properly bracketed public version. The

Department will meet with interested

parties upon request to explain the

proposed procedures contained in the

Annex to this notice. Any party

uncertain of the proper procedures for

filing under APO may contact the

Department for further information and

assistance.

Dated: October 1, 1997.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Group III.

Annex

Proposed Procedures For The Sale And

Delivery Of The Natural Uranium Feed

Component Of Highly Enriched Uranium

Entries

These following proposed procedures have

been developed pursuant to the Department’s

authority to administer and enforce the

limitations set forth in Section 3112(b)(9) of

the USEC Privatization Act. To avoid

confusion, the Department intends to follow

procedures established under the Suspension

Agreement, as closely as possible.

Submission of Contracts

• Matched sales utilizing natural uranium

associated with LEU imports derived from

HEU (the natural uranium component),

pursuant to Section 3112(b)(6) of the Act,

will be reviewed and approved according to

current existing matched sales procedures.

The matched sales procedures and

appropriate definitions are contained in the

Amendment to the Suspension Agreement

(59 FR 15373 (April 1, 1994)) and related

Statements of Administrative Intent which

are available by contacting the Department

personnel listed above.

• All contracts for the sale of the natural

uranium component between any parties

must be submitted to the Department.

Allocation of Natural Uranium Component

According to Available Direct Delivery Quota

The Department believes that allocating the

delivery quota available under section

3112(b) of the USEC Privatization Act will

contribute to the efficient and equitable

administration of the delivery schedule set

forth in subsection 3112(b)(5) of the USEC

Privatization Act. The Department intends to

use the following approach to allocate the

delivery quotas.

• The Department will allocate a portion of

the quota to a party only upon receipt of

submitted contracts and confirmation by the

Department on a first-come first-served basis.

• The Department will determine the

amount of quota used by a given contract by

applying the maximum annual deliveries

(including allowed flexibilities) under the

contract to the remaining quota available for

each of the appropriate delivery years.

• Consistent with Section 3112(b)(5) of the

USEC Privatization Act, all requests

submitted to the Department for confirmation

must contain, in addition to the contract, a

statement from the end-user certifying that

the material will be delivered solely for

consumption in the United States.

Monitoring and Enforcement

• The Department will strictly monitor and

verify the movement of the natural uranium

component between accounts.

• The Department will require that

account balances be documented to the

Department on a quarterly basis.

• The Department reserves the right to

conduct on-site verifications of

documentation reflecting natural uranium

component transactions.

• Procedures customarily applied to

imports of CIS-origin uranium will also apply

to all physical imports into the United States

of the natural uranium component.

Please also comment on the following:

• Should the Ministry of Atomic Energy of

the Russian Federation license the material

authorizing delivery for its intended use, in

accordance with section 3112(b)(5) of the

USEC Privatization Act?

• Should the Department directly monitor

or approve every transfer of natural uranium

component-related material between

companies’ accounts?
