Request; Direct Investment Surveys:
BE–11, Annual Survey of U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on 06/16/2021
during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days
for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA), Commerce.
Title: Annual Survey of U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad.
OMB Control Number: 0608–0053.
Form Number: BE–11.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
reinstatement without change
Number of Respondents: 3,500
respondents (U.S. parents). A complete
response includes a BE–11 A form for

Jkt 253001
the U.S. parent’s domestic operation
and one or more BE–11 B, C, or D forms
for its foreign affiliates that meet the
BE–11 survey requirements. BEA
estimates that U.S. parents will submit
3,500 A forms, 24,000 B forms, 1,900 C
forms, 100 D forms, and 500 Claim for
Exemption forms.
Average Hours per Response: 90.5
hours per respondent (316,900 hours/
3,500 U.S. parents) is the average but
may vary considerably among
respondents because of differences in
company structure, complexity, and the
number of foreign affiliates each U.S.
parent must report.
Burden Hours: 316,900 hours. Total
annual burden is calculated by
multiplying the estimated number of
submissions of each form by the average
hourly burden per form, which is 7
hours for the A form, 12 hours for the
B form, 2 hours for the C form, 1 hour
for the D form, and 1 hour for the Claim
for Exemption form.
Needs and Uses: The Annual Survey
of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad (BE–
11) obtains sample data on the financial
structure and operations of U.S. parents
and their foreign affiliates. The data are
needed to provide reliable, useful, and
timely measures of U.S. direct
investment abroad to assess its impact
on the U.S. and foreign economies. The
sample data are used to derive universe
estimates in nonbenchmark years from
similar data reported in the BE–10,
Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad, which is conducted
every five years. The data collected
include balance sheets; income
statements; property, plant, and
equipment; employment and employee
compensation; merchandise trade; sales
of goods and services; taxes; and
research and development activity.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: International
Investment and Trade in Services
Survey Act (Pub. L. 94–472, 22 U.S.C.
3101–3108, as amended).
