SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Annual Survey of Foreign Ocean 

Carriers’ Expenses in the United States 

(BE–29) collects data from U.S. agents of 

foreign ocean carriers that handled 40 or 

more foreign ocean carrier port calls 

during the year, or had total covered 

expenses of $250,000 or more during the 

year for all foreign ocean vessels 

handled by the U.S. agent. 

The data are needed monitor trade in 

transport services, to analyze the impact 

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

economies, to compile and improve the 

U.S. economic accounts, to support U.S. 

commercial policy on trade in transport 

services, to conduct trade promotion, 

and to improve the ability of U.S. 

businesses to identify and evaluate 

market opportunities. The data are used 

in estimating the transport services 

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 or 

modifications to the information 

collected on the current BE–29. The 

language in the instructions and 

definitions will be reviewed and 

adjusted as necessary to clarify survey 

requirements. 

BEA proposes to change the due date 

of the survey to 45 days after the close 

of each year from 90 days, beginning 

with the reporting period for the 2021 

year, which will be collected in 2022. 

Shortening the reporting timeline will 

allow BEA to produce more accurate 

and complete trade in transport services 

statistics in the ITAs, which is critical 

information for policymakers’ timely 

decisions on international trade policy. 

The earlier due date will allow BEA to 

validate the data and integrate it into the 

statistics in time for the annual update 

of the ITAs, improving the accuracy of 

both the aggregates and the country 

detail and reducing revisions in 

subsequent statistical releases. 

BEA estimates there will be no change 

in the average number of burden hours 

per response, which is currently 

estimated to be 3 hours. The language in 

the instructions and definitions will be 

reviewed and adjusted as necessary to 

clarify survey requirements. 

II. Method of Collection 

BEA contacts potential respondents 

by mail in December of the preceding 

year. Respondents would be required to 

file the completed BE–29 forms within 

45 days after the end of the year. 

Reports will be required from U.S. 

agents of foreign ocean carriers that 

handled 40 or more foreign ocean 

carrier port calls during the year or had 

covered expenses of $250,000 or more 

during the year for all foreign ocean 

vessels handled by the U.S. agent. 

Entities required to report will be 

contacted individually by BEA. Entities 

not contacted by BEA have no reporting 

responsibilities. 

BEA offers its electronic filing option, 

the eFile system, for use in reporting on 

Form BE–29. For more information 

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

addition, BEA posts all its survey forms 

and reporting instructions on its 

website, www.bea.gov/ssb. These may
