SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Quarterly Survey of Ocean 

Freight Revenues and Foreign Expenses 

of U.S. Carriers (BE–30) collects data 

from U.S. ocean freight carriers (owners 

and operators) that engaged in the 

international transportation of freight, 

cargo, and/or passengers between U.S. 

and foreign ports or between foreign 

ports, if total covered revenues or total 

covered expenses were $500,000 or 

more in the previous year or are 

expected to be $500,000 or more during 

the current year. 

The Quarterly Survey of U.S. Airline 

Operators’ Foreign Revenues and 

Expenses (BE–37) collects data from 

U.S. airline operators engaged in the 

international transportation of 

passengers or of U.S. export freight, or 

the transportation of freight or 

passengers between two foreign points, 

if total covered revenues or total 

covered expenses were $500,000 or 

more in the previous year or are 

expected to be $500,000 or more during 

the current year. 

52126 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 179 / Monday, September 20, 2021 / Notices 

The data are needed to 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 modifications to the 

information collected on the BE–37 

survey, and a change to the BE–30 and 

BE–37 surveys’ due dates, beginning 

with the reporting period for first 

quarter 2022. The proposed 

modifications to the BE–37 survey 

would eliminate the collection of 

certain items not currently needed to 

estimate international transactions in air 

transportation services, and introduce 

new items that will increase the quality 

and usefulness of BEA’s statistics on 

trade in transport services. BEA 

proposes the following changes to the 

BE–37 survey: 

BEA proposes to eliminate the 

collection of several items on the BE–37 

survey: (1) Total revenue from 

transporting passengers originating 

from, or destined to, points outside the 

United States; (2) total revenue from 

transporting passengers to and/or from 

the United States, (3) interline 

settlement receipts from foreign airline 

operators; and (4) interline settlement 

payments to foreign airline operators. 

BEA proposes to eliminate these items 

because the information collected is not 

currently used to estimate international 

transactions in air transportation 

services and is not expected to be 

needed in the future. 

BEA proposes to collect country detail 

for BE–37 survey item 1, revenue from 

carriage of export freight and express 

originating from the United States to 

points outside the United States, and 

item 2, revenue from carriage of freight 

and express originating from, and 

destined to, points outside the United 

States. Currently, only global totals are 

collected for these items. Requiring 

airlines to report these two items by 

country will improve the quality of the 

geographic statistics BEA disseminates. 

BEA proposes to add U.S. airliners’ 

in-flight sales revenue (total and by 

region) and expand the information 

collected on number of passengers to 

include the region, on the BE–37 survey. 

In-flight sales are revenues of the airline 

or a vendor for the purposes of 

consumption on the aircraft (food, 

drinks, Wi-Fi, pillows, etc.). The data 

will be used to close a gap in the 

ancillary fees component of air 

passenger transport. Collecting this 

information by region will allow BEA to 

produce more detailed statistics on 

trade in transport services because large 

differences exist across regions in perpassenger ancillary fee revenue, mostly 

corresponding to length of flight. BEA 

proposes to collect this item and 

number of passengers by region 

according to the three regional 

designations outlined by the U.S. 

Department of Transportation in 14 CFR 

241.21(g)—Atlantic Ocean, Pacific 

Ocean, and Latin America. These 

designations group Canada within the 

domestic category. Although revenue 

and expenses for Canada must be 

included in all other items on this 

survey, Canada will be excluded from 

the item on in-flight sales revenue and 

number of passengers. 

Additionally, BEA proposes to collect 

two additional airline identification 

elements on the BE–37 survey: the U.S. 

airline’s International Air Transport 

Association (IATA) and International 

Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 

codes. These elements will enable BEA 

to match information reported on the 

BE–37 with supplemental information 

received from other government 

agencies and increase the quality and 

accuracy of BEA’s statistics on trade in 

services. 

BEA also proposes to change the due 

dates of the BE–30 and BE–37 surveys 

to 30 days after the close of each quarter 

from 45 days. Shortening the reporting 

timeline will allow BEA to produce 

more accurate and complete trade in 

transport services statistics in 

preliminary estimates of the ITAs, 

which is critical information for 

policymakers’ timely decisions on 

international trade policy. The earlier 

due date will allow BEA to use more 

reported data for preliminary statistics, 

improving the accuracy of both the 

aggregates and the country detail, 

reducing revisions in subsequent 

statistical releases. 

BEA estimates there will be a one 

hour increase in the average burden for 

completing the BE–37 survey with data, 

from 4 to 5 hours pers response, 

primarily as a result of the requirement 

to report country detail for revenue from 

the carriage of freight and express. 

There will be no change in the average 

number of burden hours per response 

for the BE–30 survey, currently 

estimated to be 4 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 at the end of each quarter. 

Respondents would be required to file 

the completed BE–30 and BE–37 forms 

within 30 days after the end of each 

quarter. 

BE–30 reports would be required from 

each U.S. ocean freight carrier (owners 

and operators) that engaged in the 

international transportation of freight, 

cargo, and/or passengers between U.S. 

and foreign ports or between foreign 

ports, whose total covered revenues or 

total covered expenses were $500,000 or 

more in the previous year or are 

expected to be $500,000 or more during 

the current year. 

BE–37 reports would be required from 

each from U.S. airline operator engaged 

in the international transportation of 

passengers or of U.S. export freight, or 

the transportation of freight or 

passengers between two foreign points, 

whose total covered revenues or total 

covered expenses were $500,000 or 

more in the previous year or are 

expected to be $500,000 or more during 

the current year. 

Entities required to report on the BE– 

30 and BE–37 surveys 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 

Forms BE–30 and BE–37. 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 be 

downloaded, completed, printed, and 

submitted via fax or mail.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–63–2021] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 15—Kansas City, 

Missouri; Application for 

Reorganization and Expansion Under 

Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Greater Kansas City Foreign-Trade 

Zone, Inc., grantee of Foreign-Trade 

Zone 15, requesting authority to 

reorganize the zone to expand its service 

area and include a new magnet site 

under the alternative site framework 

(ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 

CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF is an 

option for grantees for the establishment 

or reorganization of zones and can 

permit significantly greater flexibility in 

the designation of new subzones or 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a zone. The application was submitted 

pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones 

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 

CFR part 400). It was formally docketed 

on September 14, 2021. 

FTZ 15 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on March 13, 1973 (Board Order 

93, 38 FR 8622, April 4, 1973), 

reorganized under the ASF on May 16, 

2014 (Board Order 1938, 79 FR 30079, 

May 27, 2014), and expanded under the 

ASF on October 25, 2018 (Board Order 

2069, 83 FR 54711–54712, October 31, 

2018). The zone currently has a service 

area that includes Andrew, Bates, 

Buchanan, Caldwell, Carroll, Cass, 

Chariton, Clay, Clinton, Cooper, 

Daviess, DeKalb, Henry, Howard, 

Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Livingston, 

Pettis, Platte, Ray and Saline Counties, 

Missouri. 

The applicant is now requesting 

authority to expand the service area of 

the zone to include Holt County, as 

described in the application. If 

approved, the grantee would be able to 

serve sites throughout the expanded 

service area based on companies’ needs 

for FTZ designation. The application 

indicates that the proposed expanded 

service area is adjacent to the Kansas 

City Customs and Border Protection Port 

of Entry. 

The applicant is also requesting to 

expand its zone to include an additional 

magnet site: Proposed Site 24 (31.85 

acres)—Iowa Tribe of Kansas and 

Nebraska Distribution Center, 27598 

Highway F, Holt County. 

In accordance with the FTZ Board’s 

regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations to the FTZ Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

November 19, 2021. Rebuttal comments 

in response to material submitted 

during the foregoing period may be 

submitted during the subsequent 15-day 

period to December 6, 2021. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection in the 

‘‘Online FTZ Information Section’’ 

section of the FTZ Board’s website, 

which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ 

ftz. For further information, contact
