AGENCY: Bureau of Economic Analysis,

ACTION: Notice of reporting 

requirements. 

SUMMARY: By this Notice, the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA), Department 

of Commerce, is informing the public 

that it is conducting the mandatory 

survey titled Annual Survey of Foreign 

Direct Investment in the United States 

(BE–15). The data collected on the BE– 

15 survey are needed to measure the 

size and economic significance of 

foreign direct investment in the United 

States and its impact on the U.S. 

economy. This survey is authorized by 

the International Investment and Trade 

in Services Survey Act. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kirsten Brew, Chief, Multinational 

Operations Branch (BE–49), via phone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through 

this Notice, BEA publishes the reporting 

requirements for the BE–15 survey form. 

As noted below, all entities required to 

respond to this mandatory survey will 

be contacted by BEA. A completed 

report covering the entity’s fiscal year 

ending during the previous calendar 

year is due by May 31 (or by June 30 for 

reporting companies that use BEA’s 

eFile system). This Notice is being 

issued in conformance with the rule 

BEA issued on April 24, 2012 (77 FR 

24373), establishing guidelines for 

collecting data on international trade in 

services and direct investment through 

notices, rather than through rulemaking. 

Additional information about BEA’s 

collection of data on international trade 

in services and direct investment can be 

found in the 2012 rule, the International 

Investment and Trade in Services 

Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.), and 

15 CFR part 801. Survey data on 

international trade in services and direct 

investment that are not collected 

pursuant to the 2012 rule are described 

separately in 15 CFR part 801. The BE– 

15 survey forms and instructions are 

available at www.bea.gov/fdi. 

Reporting 

Notice of specific reporting 

requirements, including who is to 

report, the information to be reported, 

the manner of reporting, and the time 

and place of filing reports, will be 

mailed to those required to complete 

this survey. 

Who Must Report: (a) Reports are 

required from each U.S. business 

enterprise in which a foreign person has 

a direct and/or indirect ownership 

interest of at least 10 percent of the 

voting stock in an incorporated U.S. 

business enterprise, or an equivalent 

interest in an unincorporated U.S. 

business enterprise, and that meets the 

additional conditions detailed in Form 

BE–15. 

(b) Entities required to report will be 

contacted individually by BEA. Entities 

not contacted by BEA have no reporting 

responsibilities. 

What To Report: The survey collects 

information on the operations of U.S. 

affiliates of foreign companies. 

How To Report: Reports can be filed 

using BEA’s electronic reporting system 

at www.bea.gov/efile. Copies of the 

survey forms and instructions, which

fdi and submitted through mail or fax. 

Form BE–15 inquiries can be made by
