International Services Surveys: BE–

Services Transactions Between U.S. 

Financial Services Providers and 

Foreign Persons 

AGENCY: Bureau of Economic Analysis, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends 

regulations of the Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA), Department of 

Commerce, to reinstate reporting 

requirements for the BE–180, 

Benchmark Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons. 

Benchmark surveys are conducted every 

five years; the prior survey covered 

2009. For the 2014 benchmark survey, 

BEA is making one change in the survey 

data items to collect data on equity- and 

debt-related underwriting transactions 

separately. This mandatory survey is 

conducted under the authority of the 

International Investment and Trade in 

Services Survey Act (the Act). Unlike 

most other BEA surveys conducted 

pursuant to the Act, a response is 

required from persons subject to the 

reporting requirements of the BE–180, 

Benchmark Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons, 

whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA, to ensure Complete coverage of 

financial services transactions between 

U.S. financial services providers and 

foreign persons. 

DATES: This final rule is effective June 

19, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Stein, Chief, Services 

Surveys Branch (BE–50), Balance of 

Payments Division, Bureau of Economic 

Analysis, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; 

phone (202) 606–9850. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 27, 2015, BEA published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking that set 

forth revised reporting criteria for the 

BE–180, Benchmark Survey of Financial 

Services Transactions between U.S. 

Financial Services Providers and 

Foreign Persons (80 FR 4228–4231). 

BEA received four comments on the 

proposed rule. 

One comment was written on behalf 

of hedge fund managers who are subject 

to BE–180 reporting requirements. The 

letter stated that the BE–180 survey is 

not well suited to hedge funds and that, 

for these respondents, the burden of 

reporting is significant. The commenter 

made two recommendations: (1) Entities 

that are not contacted by BEA should 

have no reporting responsibilities 

(similar to other BEA surveys); and (2) 

BEA should not extend reporting by 

U.S. investment managers to other BEA 

surveys. BEA is very concerned about 

respondent burden and has employed 

several approaches to reduce the burden 

where possible. However, BEA does not 

adopt the above two recommendations 

because of the statistical needs that 

govern how the data are collected and 

tabulated. If BEA does not require 

responses from all persons subject to the 

reporting requirements of the BE–180, 

we could not ensure that a complete and 

accurate sample frame is maintained in 

the non-benchmark years. Thus, lack of 

this information in a benchmark year 

would result in incomplete data in our 

tabulated information in nonmstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 28819 

benchmark years. To aid in 

communicating filing requirements, 

BEA will consider what additional 

guidance it can offer to hedge fund 

filers, possibly by providing expanded 

form instructions and Frequently Asked 

Questions (FAQs). 

Another comment was written on 

behalf of the international banking 

community in the United States. The 

letter requested that BEA adopt an 

accommodating approach to allow 

impacted companies adequate time to 

complete the BE–180 survey. As the BE– 

180 applies to a broader audience and 

has reporting requirements that differ 

from the related BE–185 Quarterly 

Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons, 

the commenter stated that additional 

time to comply was necessary to help 

alleviate the filing burden. To provide 

ample time for respondents to complete 

and file the BE–180 survey, BEA will 

accept filing extension requests through 

the October 1, 2015 due date. 

Respondents can request extensions of 

30 days or less over the phone or in 

writing; requests of greater than 30 days 

must be provided in writing. 

Additionally, any respondent that 

chooses to file electronically through 

BEA’s eFile system will automatically 

receive a 30 day extension. 

The third comment was written on 

behalf of the commercial energy 

industry and was concerned with the 

BE–180 definition of financial services 

provider. The commenter requested that 

BEA provide clarification with regard to 

what information should be reported by 

principals to commodity contracts. The 

commenter recommended that if BEA is 

unable to provide this clarification, the 

obligation to file the BE–180 should be 

limited only to those entities that are 

contacted by BEA. We will consider 

what additional guidance it can offer to 

clarify how commodity-related activities 

are to be reported, including expanded 

form instructions and FAQs. 

The final comment was written on 

behalf of asset management firms that 

are subject to BE–180 reporting 

requirements. The letter stated that the 

impact of the BE–I80 survey and the 

reporting burden for entities in this 

industry are significant. The commenter 

made three recommendations: (1) 

Entities that are not contacted by BEA 

should have no reporting 

responsibilities (similar to other BEA 

surveys); (2) BEA should raise the $3 

million monetary threshold for 

mandatory reporting on the BE–180 of 

financial services transactions; and (3) 

BEA should provide additional 

guidance to asset managers in order to 

collect meaningful Survey data. BEA 

does not adopt the first recommendation 

because of the statistical needs that 

govern data collection and tabulation. 

As previously stated, BEA could not 

ensure that a complete and accurate 

sample frame is maintained in the nonbenchmark years if we did not require 

responses from all persons subject to the 

reporting requirements of the BE–180, 

which is a benchmark survey. BEA does 

not adopt the second recommendation 

because the $3 million threshold for 

mandatory reporting on the BE–180 

survey is necessary to ensure an 

accurate sample frame for the quarterly 

BE–I85 survey. Therefore, this threshold 

is unchanged from the previous 

benchmark survey. Regarding the third 

recommendation, BEA will consider 

what additional guidance it can offer to 

asset managers, possibly in the form of 

expanded instructions and FAQs, to aid 

in communicating the filing 

requirements. 

The change in data items collected 

(described in the Description of Changes 

section below) will be reflected in the 

final version of the BE–180 survey form. 

This final rule adds 15 CFR part 801.9 

to set forth the reporting requirements 

for the BE–180, Benchmark Survey of 

Financial Services Transactions 

between U.S. Financial Services 

Providers and Foreign Persons. BEA 

conducts the BE–180 under the 

authority provided by the International 

Investment and Trade in Services 

Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101–3108) and 

by Section 5408 of the Omnibus Trade 

and Competitiveness Act of 1988. 

By rule issued in 2012 (77 FR 24373), 

BEA established guidelines for 

collecting data on international trade in 

services and direct investment through 

notices, rather than through rulemaking. 

This final rule amends the regulations to 

require a response from persons subject 

to the reporting requirements of the BE– 

180, whether or not they are contacted 

by BEA, to ensure complete coverage of 

financial services transactions between 

U.S. financial services providers and 

foreign persons. 

The BE–180 survey covers financial 

services transactions with foreign 

persons. In non-benchmark years, the 

universe estimates covering these 

transactions are derived from the 

sample data reported on BEA’s BE–185, 

Quarterly Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons. 

The data are used by BEA to estimate 

the financial services component of the 

U.S. International Transactions 

Accounts and other economic accounts 

compiled by BEA. The data are needed 

to monitor U.S. exports and imports of 

financial services; analyze their impact 

on the U.S. and foreign economies; 

support U.S. international trade policy 

on financial services; and assess and 

promote U.S. competitiveness in 

international trade in services. In 

addition, these data will improve the 

ability of U.S. businesses to identify and 

evaluate market opportunities. 

The services covered by the BE–180 

include the following transactions: (1) 

Brokerage services related to equity 

transactions; (2) other brokerage 

services; (3) underwriting and private 

placement services; (4) financial 

management services; (5) credit-related 

services, except credit card services; (6) 

credit card services; (7) financial 

advisory and custody services; (8) 

securities lending services; (9) 

electronic funds transfer services; and 

(10) other financial services. 

Description of Changes From the 2009 

BE–180 Survey 

The changes amend the regulations 

and the survey form for the BE–180 

Benchmark Survey of Financial Services 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign Persons. 

These amendments include changes in 

the data items collected and 

questionnaire design. Under this final 

rule and unlike many other BEA surveys 

conducted pursuant to the Act, persons 

subject to the reporting requirements of 

the BE–180 are required to respond 

whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA. Also, we are adding one item to 

the 2014 BE–180 survey form to collect 

data on equity- and debt-related 

underwriting transactions separately. 

The 2009 BE–180 survey collected these 

transactions as a combined amount. 

Separate reporting of these transactions 

is needed to accurately remove equityand debt-related underwriting fees from 

purchases and sales of equity and debt 

security transactions, which are 

reported inclusive of underwriting and 

brokerage fees. A number of reporters 

include language in their financial 

statements that suggests equity- and 

debt-related underwriting transactions 

are readily obtainable from their 

accounting records. In addition, BEA is 

redesigning the format and wording of 

the survey form. The new design 

incorporates cognitive design 

improvements made to other BEA 

surveys that improve the flow of the 

survey form and eliminate redundancies 

in the survey questions. Survey 

instructions and data item descriptions 

are being changed to improve clarity 

and to make the benchmark survey form 

more consistent with those of other BEA 

surveys.

Executive Order 12866 

This final rule has been determined to 

be not significant for purposes of E.O. 

12866.

This final rule does not contain 

policies with Federalism implications 

sufficient to warrant preparation of a

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collection of information in this 

final rule has been submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA). OMB has pre-approved the 

information collection under OMB 

control number 0608–0062. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person is required to respond to, 

nor shall any person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the PRA unless that 

collection displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. 

The BE–180 survey is expected to 

result in the filing of reports from 

approximately 8,750 respondents. 

Approximately 1,250 respondents 

would report mandatory or voluntary 

data on the survey and approximately 

7,500 would file exemption claims. The 

respondent burden for this collection of 

information will vary from one 

respondent to another, but is estimated 

to average ten hours for the respondents 

that file mandatory or voluntary dataincluding time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information 

and two hours for other responses. Thus 

the total respondent burden for this 

survey is estimated at 27,500 hours, 

compared to 24,000 hours for the 2009 

BE–180 survey. The increase in burden 

hours is due to an increase in the size 

of the respondent universe. Written 

comments regarding the burden-hour 

estimates or other aspects of the 

collection-of-Information requirements 

contained in the final rule should be 

sent to both BEA via email at

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Chief Counsel for Regulation, 

Department of Commerce, certified at 

the proposed rule stage to the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy, Small Business 

Administration, under the provisions of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), that this final rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The factual basis for the certification 

was published in the proposed rule and 

is not repeated here. 

BEA received one comment on the 

impact on small entities. The 

commenter, writing on behalf of asset 

management firms, stated that the broad 

scope of the financial services collected 

on the BE–180 survey, and the fact that 

the $3 million mandatory reporting 

level applies separately to sales or 

purchases, will impact a larger number 

of small businesses than indicated by 

BEA. BEA is very concerned about 

respondent burden and only collects 

data from the broader group of filers on 

benchmark surveys that are conducted 

once every five years. BEA 

acknowledges that a larger number of 

asset managers may be required to 

complete the BE–180 survey as a result 

of the $3 million threshold. However, 

even with a larger number of entities 

being required to report, preparing and 

submitting the required data will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

any entity, large or small. While the 

resources required to respond to the 

survey will vary from one respondent to 

another, BEA estimates that it will take, 

on average, ten hours for the 

respondents that file mandatory or 

voluntary data, and two hours for other 

responses. These estimates include time 

for reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing, reviewing, and submitting 

the appropriate form. This rule has no 

other impact or regulatory burden 

beyond the one-time reporting of the 

required information. Therefore, even 

businesses required to provide 

mandatory data on the survey will only 

expend a minimal number of hours of 

staff time to comply, which does not 

constitute a significant economic 

impact. Because this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities, no 

FRFA is required and none has been 

prepared.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 28821 

Transactions between U.S. Financial 

Services Providers and Foreign 

Persons—2014, contained herein, 

whether or not they are contacted by 

BEA to ensure complete coverage of 

financial services transactions between 

U.S. financial services providers and 

foreign persons. Also, a person, or its 

agent, that is contacted by BEA about 

reporting in this survey, either by 

sending a report form or by written 

inquiry, must respond in writing 

pursuant to this section. This may be 

accomplished by: 

(1) Completing and returning the BE– 

180 survey by the due date; or, 

(2) If exempt, by completing pages 

one through five of the BE–180 survey 

and returning them to BEA. 

(b) Who must report. (1) A BE–180 

report is required of each U.S. person 

that is a financial services provider or 

intermediary, or whose consolidated 

U.S. enterprise includes a separately 

organized subsidiary, or part, that is a 

financial services provider or 

intermediary, and that had transactions 

(either sales or purchases) directly with 

foreign persons in all financial services 

combined in excess of $3,000,000 

during its fiscal year covered by the 

survey on an accrual basis. The 

$3,000,000 threshold should be applied 

to financial services transactions with 

foreign persons by all parts of the 

consolidated U.S. enterprise combined 

that are financial services providers or 

intermediaries. Because the $3,000,000 

threshold applies separately to sales and 

purchases, the mandatory reporting 

requirement may apply only to sales, 

only to purchases, or to both. 

(i) The determination of whether a 

U.S. financial services provider or 

intermediary is subject to this 

mandatory reporting requirement may 

be based on the judgment of 

knowledgeable persons in a company 

who can identify reportable transactions 

on a recall basis, with a reasonable 

degree of certainty, without conducting 

a detailed manual records search. 

(ii) Reporters that file pursuant to this 

mandatory reporting requirement must 

provide data on total sales and/or 

purchases of each of the covered types 

of financial services transactions and 

must disaggregate the totals by country 

and by relationship to the foreign 

transactor (foreign affiliate, foreign 

parent group, or unaffiliated). 

(2) Voluntary reporting. If, during the 

fiscal year covered, sales or purchases of 

financial services by a firm that is a 

financial services provider or 

intermediary, or by a firm’s subsidiaries, 

or parts, combined that are financial 

services providers or intermediaries, are 

$3,000,000 or less, the U.S. person is 

requested to provide an estimate of the 

total for each type of service. Provision 

of this information is voluntary. The 

estimates may be judgmental, that is, 

based on recall, without conducting a 

detailed records search. Because the 

$3,000,000 threshold applies separately 

to sales and purchases, this voluntary 

reporting option may apply only to 

sales, only to purchases, or to both. 

(3) Exemption claims. Any U.S. 

person that receives the BE–180 survey 

form from BEA, but is not subject to the 

mandatory reporting requirements and 

chooses not to report voluntarily, must 

file an exemption claim by completing 

pages one through five of the BE–180 

survey and returning it to BEA. This 

requirement is necessary to ensure 

compliance with reporting requirements 

and efficient administration of the Act 

by eliminating unnecessary follow-up 

contact. 

(c) BE–180 definition of financial 

services provider. The definition of 

financial services provider used for this 

survey is identical to the definition of 

the term as used in the North American 

Industry Classification System, United 

States, 2012, Sector 52—Finance and 

Insurance, and holding companies that 

own or influence, and are principally 

engaged in making management 

decisions for these firms (part of Sector 

55—Management of Companies and 

Enterprises). For example, companies 

and/or subsidiaries and other separable 

parts of companies in the following 

industries are defined as financial 

services providers: Depository credit 

intermediation and related activities 

(including commercial banking, savings 

institutions, credit unions, and other 

depository credit intermediation); nondepository credit intermediation 

(including credit card issuing, sales 

financing, and other non-depository 

credit intermediation); activities related 

to credit intermediation (including 

mortgage and nonmortgage loan brokers, 

financial transactions processing, 

reserve, and clearinghouse activities, 

and other activities related to credit 

intermediation); securities and 

commodity contracts intermediation 

and brokerage (including investment 

banking and securities dealing, 

securities brokerage, commodity 

contracts and dealing, and commodity 

contracts brokerage); securities and 

commodity exchanges; other financial 

investment activities (including 

miscellaneous intermediation, portfolio 

management, investment advice, and all 

other financial investment activities); 

insurance carriers; insurance agencies, 

brokerages, and other insurance related 

activities; insurance and employee 

benefit funds (including pension funds, 

health and welfare funds, and other 

insurance funds); other investment 

pools and finds (including open-end 

investment funds, trusts, estates, and 

agency accounts, real estate investment 

trusts, and other financial vehicles); and 

holding companies that own, or 

influence the management decisions of, 

firms principally engaged in the 

aforementioned activities. 

(d) Covered types of services. The BE– 

180 survey covers the following types of 

financial services transactions (sales or 

purchases) between U.S. financial 

services companies and foreign persons: 

brokerage services related to equity 

transactions; other brokerage services; 

underwriting and private placement 

services; financial management service 

(including fees for mutual funds, 

pension funds, exchange-traded funds, 

private equity funds, corporate 

portfolio, individual portfolio, hedge 

funds, trusts, and other); credit related 

services, except credit card services; 

credit card services; financial advisory 

and custody services; securities lending 

services; electronic funds transfer 

services; and other financial services. 

(e) Due date. A fully completed and 

certified BE–180 report, or qualifying 

exemption claim with pages one 

through five completed, is due to be
