packages to the Agency. This condition 

will require a detailed outline of the 

interested party’s intended procedures. 

• Have the capacity to serve as an 

intermediary in one or more of the 

following states not currently served 

under the existing pilot program: 

Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut,

(Applications that propose covering any

automatically removed from 

consideration since the existing 

intermediaries are tasked with serving 

all or part of these states: Alabama, 

Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, 

Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, 

Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, 

Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, 

Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, 

and Wyoming.) This condition will 

require a detailed outline of the 

interested party’s action plan and 

experience. The outline should include, 

but is not limited to: What state or states 

the party wishes to cover, how they are 

well-equipped to handle the proposed 

coverage area, how they intend on 

creating affiliations with eligible 

nonprofit packagers, confirmation that 

they will not serve dual roles (i.e., the 

intermediary and the packager’s 

employer must have different tax 

identification numbers and cannot have 

the same board of directors) unless they 

intend on operating under the program’s 

general provisions for some packages 

which means the packaging fee cannot 

exceed $750, their ability to target verylow income persons in rural areas 

interested in homeownership, and their 

ability to target underserved areas. 

• Ensure that their quality assurance 

staff completes an Agency-approved 

loan application packaging course and 

successfully pass the corresponding test. 

• Not be the developer, builder, seller 

of, or have any other such financial 

interest in, the property for which the 

application package is submitted. 

• Acknowledge qualifying as an 

intermediary for the pilot does not 

imply any guaranteed qualification 

under the certified loan application 

packaging process final rule once 

effective. 

The above conditions generally mimic 

those outlined in the proposed rule to 

create a certified loan application 

packaging process. 

If selected as a new intermediary, a 

MOU between the intermediary and the 

Agency must be signed. The MOU will 

detail the roles and responsibilities of 

all parties; and will be in effect through 

September 30, 2015, or up until the 

effective date of the final rule on the 

certified loan application packaging 

process, whichever should occur first. 

This notice should not be construed as 

containing all those roles and 

responsibilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Quarterly Survey of Insurance 

Transactions by U.S. Insurance 

Companies with Foreign Persons (BE– 

45) is a survey that collects data on U.S. 

trade in insurance services. The 

information collected on this survey 

will be used to formulate U.S. 

international economic policy and 

analyze the impact of that policy, and 

the policies of foreign countries, on 

international trade in services. The data 

are used in estimating the insurance 

component of the U.S. international 

transactions accounts (ITAs) and 

national income and product accounts 

(NIPAs). 

The Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA) is proposing no additions, 

modifications, or deletions to the 

current BE–45 survey. The effort to keep 

current reporting requirements 

unchanged is intended to minimize 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

19632 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Notices 

respondent burden while considering 

the needs of data users. Existing 

language in the instructions and 

definitions will be reviewed and 

adjusted as necessary to clarify survey 

requirements. 

II. Method of Collection 

Form BE–45 is a quarterly report that 

must be filed within 60 days after the 

end of each calendar quarter, or within 

90 days after the close of the calendar 

year, and is mandatory for each U.S. 

insurance company whose covered 

transactions with foreign persons for 

any of the data items on the survey 

exceeded $8 million (positive or 

negative) in the prior calendar year, or 

are expected to exceed that amount 

during the current calendar year. 

BEA offers its electronic filing option, 

the eFile system, for use in reporting on 

Form BE–45. For more information 

about eFile, go to www.bea.gov/efile.

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the
