States (BE–9) is a survey that collects
data from U.S. offices, agents, or other
representatives of foreign airline
operators that transport freight and
express to or from the United States and
whose total covered revenues or total
covered expenses were $5 million or
more in the previous year or are
expected to be $5 million or more
during the current year. The covered
revenues are freight revenue on
merchandise exported from, or imported
into, the United States. The covered
expenses are expenses incurred in the
United States for: (1) Fuel and oil; (2)
wages and salaries paid to employees in
the United States; (3) agents’ and
brokers’ fees and commissions for
arrangement of freight and passenger
transportation; (4) aircraft handling and
terminal services, aircraft (with crew)
leasing expenses, and (5) all other
expenses incurred in the United States
except aircraft leasing (without crew)
expenses.
Respondents are also asked to report:
(1) Shipping weights on which freight
revenues were earned; (2) the number of
passengers transported to/from the
United States; and (3) revenues
associated with these passengers.
The data are needed to monitor U.S.
trade in transport services, to analyze
the impact 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 component
of the U.S. international transactions
accounts (ITAs) and national income
and product accounts (NIPAs).
The Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA) is proposing no additions or
modifications to the current BE-9
survey. The effort to keep current
reporting requirements unchanged is
intended to minimize respondent
burden while considering the needs of
data users. Existing language in the
instructions and definitions will be
reviewed and adjusted as necessary to
clarify survey requirements.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
