Proposed Data Sharing Activity
Bureau of Economic Analysis,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) will provide to the
Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau)
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
services transactions 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 January 23,
2007 edition of the Federal Register (72
FR 2854)).
The data provided to Census Bureau
will be used for two purposes:
(1) Data from BEA surveys of U.S.
direct investment abroad and foreign
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

direct investment in the United States
will be linked with data from the Survey
of Industrial Research and Development
conducted by the Census Bureau under
a joint partnership agreement with the
National Science Foundation (NSF). The
linked data will be used to produce
aggregate tabulations for the NSF, which
will provide an integrated data set on
R&D performance and funding with
domestic and foreign ownership detail.
BEA will use the linked data to augment
its existing R&D-related data, identify
data quality issues arising from
reporting differences in BEA and Census
Bureau surveys, and improve its survey
sample frames. The Census Bureau will
identify unmatched companies on BEA
files that conduct R&D activities and
add them to the R&D survey to improve
the survey’s sample. The NSF will be
provided non-confidential aggregate
data (public use) and reports that have
cleared BEA and Census Bureau
disclosure review. Disclosure review is
a process conducted to verify that the
data to be released do not reveal any
confidential information.
(2) BEA will also provide data to the
Census Bureau in order to link records
from its surveys of U.S. international
services transactions, U.S. direct
investment abroad, and foreign direct
investment in the United States with
information from the Census Bureau’s
Business Register and with data from
the 2002 Economic Census. This linked
information will be used by the BEA to
evaluate the feasibility of developing
state-level estimates of service exports.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information on
this program should be directed to Ned
G. Howenstine, Chief, Research Branch,
International Investment Division,
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BE–50),
Washington, DC 20230, by phone (202)
606–9845 or by fax (202) 606–5318.
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 the Census Bureau
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). Section 524(d) also required
us to provide information about the
terms of the agreement for data sharing.
On January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2854),
BEA published in the Federal Register
a notice of this proposed data-sharing
activity and request for comment on the
