in financial services and to analyze the 

impact of U.S. trade on the U.S. and 

foreign economies. This survey is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through 

this Notice, BEA publishes the reporting 

requirements for the BE–185 survey 

form. As noted below, all entities 

required to respond to this mandatory 

survey will be contacted by BEA. 

Entities must submit the completed 

survey forms within 30 days after the 

end of each fiscal quarter, except for the 

final quarter of the entity’s fiscal year 

when reports must be filed within 45 

days. 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, and by Section 5408 

of the Omnibus Trade and 

Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Public 

Law 100–418, 15 U.S.C. 4908(b)). 

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–185 survey form and 

instructions are available at 

www.bea.gov/ssb. 

Reporting 

Notice of specific reporting 

requirements, including who is to 

report, the information to be reported, 

the manner of reporting, and the time

mailed to those required to complete 

this survey. 

Who Must Report: (a) Reports are 

required from each U.S. person who had 

combined reportable sales of financial 

services to foreign persons that 

exceeded $20 million during the 

previous fiscal year, or are expected to 

exceed that amount during the current 

fiscal year; or had combined reportable 

purchases of financial services from 

foreign persons that exceeded $15 

million during the previous fiscal year, 

or are expected to exceed that amount 

during the current fiscal year. Because 

the thresholds are applied separately to 

sales and purchases, the reporting 

requirements may apply only to sales, 

only to purchases, or to both. See BE– 

185 survey form for more details. 

(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 transactions in financial 

services between U.S. financial services 

providers and foreign persons. 

How To Report: Reports can be filed 

using BEA’s electronic reporting system 

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

ssb and submitted through mail or fax. 

Form BE–185 inquiries can be made by 

phone to BEA at (301) 278–9303 or by 

sending an email to be-185help@
