AGENCY: Bureau of Economic Analysis, 

Commerce. 

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 U.S. 

Direct Investment Abroad (BE–11). The 

data collected on the BE–11 survey are 

needed to measure the size and 

economic significance of U.S. direct 

investment abroad and its impact on the 

U.S. and foreign economies. 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 

at (301) 278–9152 or via email at 

Kirsten.Brew@bea.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through 

this Notice, BEA publishes the reporting 

requirements for the BE–11 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. 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– 

11 survey forms and instructions are 

available at www.bea.gov/dia. 

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. person that has 

a direct and/or indirect ownership 

interest of at least 10 percent of the 

voting stock in an incorporated foreign 

business enterprise, or an equivalent 

interest in an unincorporated foreign 

business enterprise, and that meets the 

additional conditions detailed in Form 

BE–11. 

(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. 

parent companies and their foreign 

affiliates. 

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 

contain complete information on 

reporting procedures and definitions, 

can be downloaded from www.bea.gov/ 

dia and submitted through mail or fax. 

Form BE–11 inquiries can be made by 

phone to BEA at (301) 278–9418 or by 

sending an email to be10/11@bea.gov. 

When To Report: A completed report 

covering an entity’s fiscal year ending 

during the previous calendar year is due
