comments.
Shared Data
BEA will provide the Census Bureau
with data from its surveys of U.S. direct
investment abroad, foreign direct
investment in the United States, and
U.S. international services transactions.
It is anticipated that the Census Bureau
will share data collected from the
Survey of Industrial Research and
Development, the 2002 Economic
Census, and its Business Register with
BEA. The Census Bureau will issue a
separate notice addressing this issue.
The shared BEA and Census Bureau
data will be used for statistical purposes
only.

Statistical Purposes for the Shared Data
Data collected in BEA’s 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, and estimates of
transactions and positions between
parents and affiliates. Data collected in
BEA’s surveys of U.S. international
services transactions are used to
develop estimates of services
transactions between U.S. persons (in a
broad legal sense, including companies)
and foreign persons. 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 sets created by linking these
data with the data from the abovedesignated Census Bureau surveys and
Business Register will be used for
several exclusively statistical purposes
by both agencies, such as for evaluating
the feasibility of developing state-level
estimates of U.S. services exports, and
producing aggregate tabulations of data
for the NSF that augment and improve
information on international aspects of
R&D performance, funding, and related
economic activity.
Data Access and Confidentiality
Title 22, U.S.C. 3104 protects the
confidentiality of the data to be
provided by BEA to the Census Bureau.
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
Census Bureau 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 NSF
employees will provide BEA with
expertise on various aspects of R&D
performance and funding of companies
that provide data to BEA. These NSF
consultants assisting with the work at
the BEA also will become BEA Special
Sworn Employees. No confidential data
will be provided to the NSF.
