| 00-24215 | Direct Investment Surveys: BE-11, Annual Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad | Proposed Rule | This document sets forth proposed rules to amend the reporting requirements for the BE-11, Annual Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad. The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The BE-11 survey is a mandatory survey and is conducted annually by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Department of Commerce, under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act. BEA will send the annual survey to potential respondents in March of each year; responses will be due by May 31. The last BE-11 annual survey was conducted for 1998. (A BE-11 survey is not conducted in a year, such as 1999, when a BE-10 Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad is conducted.) The survey is a cut-off sample survey that obtains financial and operating data covering the overall operations of nonbank U.S. parent companies and their nonbank foreign affiliates. Changes proposed by BEA in the reporting requirements to be implemented in these proposed rules include reduction of respondent burden, particularly for small companies, by increasing the exemption level for reporting on the BE-11B(SF) short form and the BE-11C form from $20 million to $30 million; increasing the exemption level for reporting on the BE-11B(LF) long form from $50 million to $100 million; and requiring U.S. Reporters with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, and net income less than or equal to $100 million (positive or negative) to report only selected items on the BE-11A form. Raising the exemption level lowers the number of reports that otherwise must be filed, thus reducing respondent burden. BEA is also proposing to extend the North American Industry Classification System to the annual survey, and to make other changes in the format and content of the survey; these changes, on balance, do not materially affect respondent burden. | 2000-09-21 | 2000 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/09/21/00-24215/direct-investment-surveys-be-11-annual-survey-of-us-direct-investment-abroad | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-09-21/pdf/00-24215.pdf | Commerce Department; Economic Analysis Bureau | 54,118 | This document sets forth proposed rules to amend the reporting requirements for the BE-11, Annual Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad.
