ACTION: Notice of determination.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) will provide to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data
collected from several surveys that it
conducts on U.S. direct investment
abroad, foreign direct investment in the
United States, and U.S. international
trade in services for statistical purposes
exclusively. In accordance with the
requirement of Section 524(d) of the
Confidential Information Protection and
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002
(CIPSEA), we provided the opportunity
for public comment on this data-sharing
action (see the March 27, 2006 edition
of the Federal Register (71 FR 15160)).
BEA will provide data collected in its
surveys to link with data from BLS
surveys, including the Quarterly Census
of Employment and Wages, the
Occupational Employment Statistics
survey, and the Mass Layoff Statistics
survey. The linked data will be used for
several purposes by both agencies, such
as to develop detailed industry-level
estimates of the employment, payroll,
and occupational structure of foreignowned U.S. companies or of U.S.
companies that own foreign affiliates,
and to assess the adequacy of current
government data for understanding the
international outsourcing activities of
U.S. companies. Non-confidential
aggregate data (public use) and reports
that have cleared BEA and BLS
disclosure review will be provided to
the National Academy of Public
Administration (NAPA) as potential
inputs into a study of off-shoring
authorized by a grant to NAPA under
Public Law 108–447. Disclosure review
is a process conducted to verify that the
data to be released do not reveal any
confidential information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
CIPSEA (Pub. L. 107–347, Title V) and
the International Investment and Trade
in Services Survey Act (Pub. L. 94–472,
22 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3101–
3108) allow BEA and BLS to share
certain business data for exclusively
statistical purposes. Section 524(d) of
the CIPSEA required a Federal Register
notice announcing the intent to share
data (allowing 60 days for public
comment), since BEA respondents were
required by law to report the data.
On March 27, 2006 (71 FR 15160),
BEA published in the Federal Register
a notice of this proposed data-sharing
activity and request for comment on the
subject. BEA did not receive any public
comments.
Shared Data
BEA will provide the BLS with data
collected from benchmark, annual, and
quarterly surveys of U.S. direct
investment abroad, of foreign direct
investment in the United States, and of
U.S. international trade in services, as
well as a survey of new foreign direct
investments in the United States. BLS
will use these data for statistical
purposes exclusively.
Statistical Purposes for the Shared Data
Data collected in the benchmark and
annual surveys of direct investment are
used to develop estimates of the
financing and operations of U.S. parent
companies, their foreign affiliates, and
U.S. affiliates of foreign companies; data
collected in the quarterly direct
investment surveys are used to develop
estimates of transactions and positions
between parents and affiliates; data
collected in the new investments survey
are used to develop estimates of new
foreign direct investments in the United
States; and data collected in the
benchmark, annual and quarterly
surveys of U.S. international trade in
services are used to develop estimates of
services transactions between U.S.
companies and unaffiliated foreign
parties. These estimates are published
in the Survey of Current Business, BEA’s
monthly journal; in other BEA
publications; and on BEA’s Web site at
https://www.bea.gov/. All data are
collected under Sections 3101–3108 of
Title 22, U.S.C.
The data set created by linking these
data with the data from the abovedesignated BLS surveys will be used for
several purposes by both agencies, such
as to develop detailed industry-level
estimates of the employment, payroll,
PO 00000
Frm 00002

Sfmt 4703
and occupational structure of foreignowned U.S. companies or of U.S.
companies that own foreign affiliates,
and to assess the adequacy of current
government data for understanding the
international outsourcing activities of
U.S. companies.
Data Access and Confidentiality
Title 22, U.S.C. 3104 protects the
confidentiality of these data. The data
may be seen only by persons sworn to
uphold the confidentiality of the
information. Access to the shared data
will be restricted to specifically
authorized personnel and will be
provided for statistical purposes only.
Any results of this research are subject
to BEA disclosure protection. All BLS
employees with access to these data will
become BEA Special Sworn
Employees—meaning that they, under
penalty of law, must uphold the data’s
confidentiality. Selected NAPA
employees will provide BEA with
expertise on the aspects of the data
collected in BEA surveys and in the
linked data set that may relate to offshoring; these NAPA consultants
assisting with the work at BEA also will
become BEA Special Sworn Employees.
No confidential data will be provided to
the NAPA.
