Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 148 / Wednesday, August 1, 2018 / Notices 37461 

for the original notice is being extended 

by 14 days. 

If the Forest Service amends land 

management plans, we hereby give 

notice that substantive requirements of 

the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR part 

219) that are likely to be directly related, 

and therefore applicable, to the 

amendments are in sections 219.8(a) 

and (b) (ecological and social and 

economic sustainability), 219.9 

(diversity of plant and animal 

communities), and 219.10(a) (integrated 

resource management for ecosystem 

services and multiple use). 

The public is encouraged to help 

identify any issues, management 

questions, or concerns that should be 

addressed in plan amendment(s) or 

policy or administrative action. The 

Forest Service will work collaboratively 

with interested parties to identify the 

management direction that is best suited 

to local, regional, and national needs 

and concerns. The Forest Service will 

use an interdisciplinary approach as it 

considers the variety of resource issues 

and concerns.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce 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), Commerce. 

Title: Annual Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad. 

OMB Control Number: 0608–0053. 

Form Number: BE–11. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,150 respondents (U.S. parents). A 

complete response includes a BE–11 A 

form for the U.S. parent’s domestic 

operation and one or more BE–11 B, C, 

or D forms for its foreign affiliates that 

meet the BE–11 survey requirements. 

BEA estimates that U.S. parents will 

submit 3,150 A forms, 25,000 B forms, 

1,500 C forms, 200 D forms, and 500 

Claim for Exemption forms. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 325,750 hours. Total annual 

burden is calculated by multiplying the 

estimated number of submissions of 

each form by the average hourly burden 

per form, which is 7 hours for the A 

form, 12 hours for the B form, 2 hours 

for the C form, 1 hour for the D form, 

and 1 hour for the Claim for Exemption 

form. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 

103.4 hours per respondent (325,750 

hours/3,150 U.S. parents) is the average, 

but may vary considerably among 

respondents because of differences in 

company structure, complexity, and the 

number of foreign affiliates each U.S. 

parent must report. 

Needs and Uses: The Annual Survey 

of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad (BE– 

11) obtains sample data on the financial 

structure and operations of U.S. parents 

and their foreign affiliates. The data are 

needed to provide reliable, useful, and 

timely measures of U.S. direct 

investment abroad to assess its impact 

on the U.S. and foreign economies. The 

sample data are used to derive universe 

estimates in nonbenchmark years from 

similar data reported in the BE–10, 

Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct 

Investment Abroad, which is conducted 

every five years. The data collected 

include balance sheets; income 

statements; property, plant, and 

equipment; employment and employee 

compensation; merchandise trade; sales 

of goods and services; taxes; and 

research and development activity. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit organizations. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
