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: Quarterly Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United 
States--Transactions of U.S. Affiliate with Foreign Parent.
    OMB Control Number: 0608-0009.
    Form Number: BE-605.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Responses: 16,000 annually.
    Average Hours Per Response: One hour is the average, but may vary 
considerably among respondents because of differences in company size 
and complexity.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 16,000.
    Needs and Uses: 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.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
