Direct Investment Surveys: Alignment of Regulations With Current Practices
Document Number: 2011-7769
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-04-07
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) proposes to amend its regulations related to direct investment surveys. Specifically, BEA proposes to eliminate reporting requirements for several direct investment surveys that are no longer necessary because the information is collected on other surveys of direct investment conducted by BEA. The surveys that would be eliminated from the regulations are: a survey of foreign direct investment in the U.S. seafood industry (BE-21), two schedules of expenditures for property, plant, and equipment of U.S. direct investment abroad (BE-133B and BE-133C), and two industry classification questionnaires (BE-507 and BE-607). In addition, BEA proposes to eliminate the reporting requirements for two surveys of new foreign direct investment in the United States (BE-13 and BE-14). BEA suspended collection of these surveys in 2009 in order to align its international survey program with available resources. BEA also proposes other minor revisions to its regulations to eliminate outdated information.
