BE-185: Quarterly Survey of Financial Services Transactions 
Between U.S. Financial Services Providers and Foreign Persons

AGENCY: Bureau of Economic Analysis, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of reporting requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: By this Notice, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), 
Department of Commerce, is informing the public that it is conducting 
the mandatory survey titled Quarterly Survey of Financial Services 
Transactions between U.S. Financial Services Providers and Foreign 
Persons (BE-185). This survey is authorized by the International 
Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act and by Section 5408 of the 
Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice constitutes legal notification 
to all U.S. persons (defined below) who meet the reporting requirements 
set forth in this Notice that they must respond to, and comply with, 
the BE-185. Reports are due 45 days after the end of each fiscal 
quarter, except for the final quarter of the U.S. person's fiscal year 
when reports must be filed within 90 days. This notice is being issued 
in conformance with the rule BEA issued in 2012 (77 FR 24373) 
establishing guidelines for collecting data on international trade in 
services and direct investment through notices, rather than through 
rulemaking. Additional information about BEA's collection of data on 
international trade in services and direct investment can be found in 
the 2012 rule, the International Investment and Trade in Services 
Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.), and 15 CFR part 801. Survey data 
on international trade in services and direct investment that are not 
collected pursuant to the 2012 rule are described separately in 15 CFR 
part 801. The BE-185 survey form and instructions are available on the 
BEA Web site at www.bea.gov/ssb.

Definitions

    (a) Person means any individual, branch, partnership, associated 
group, association, estate, trust, corporation, or other organization 
(whether or not organized under the laws of any State), and any 
government (including a foreign government, the U.S. Government, a 
State or local government, and any agency, corporation, financial 
institution, or other entity or instrumentality thereof, including a 
government-sponsored agency).
    (b) U.S. person means any person resident in the United States or 
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
    (c) United States, when used in a geographic sense, means the 50 
States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and 
all territories and possessions of the United States.
    (d) Foreign person means any person resident outside the United 
States or subject to the jurisdiction of a country other than the 
United States.

Reporting

    Who Must Report: (a) Reports are required from each U.S. person who 
had sales of covered financial services to foreign persons that 
exceeded $20 million during the previous fiscal year, or are expected 
to exceed that amount during the current fiscal year; or had purchases 
of covered financial services from foreign persons that exceeded $15 
million during the previous fiscal year, or are expected to exceed that 
amount during the current fiscal year. Because the thresholds are 
applied separately to sales and purchases, the reporting requirements 
may apply only to sales, only to purchases, or to both sales and 
purchases.
    (b) Entities required to report will be contacted individually by 
BEA. Entities not contacted by BEA have no reporting responsibilities.
    What To Report: The survey collects information on transactions in 
the covered financial services between U.S. financial services 
providers and foreign persons.
    How To Report: Reports can be filed using BEA's electronic 
reporting system at www.bea.gov/efile. Copies of the survey forms and 
instructions, which contain complete information on reporting 
procedures and definitions, can be downloaded from the BEA Web site 
given above. Form BE-185 inquiries can be made by phone to BEA at (202) 
606-5588 or by sending an email to [email protected].
    When To Report: Reports are due to BEA 45 days after the end of 
each fiscal quarter, except for the final quarter of the reporter's 
fiscal year when reports must be filed within 90 days.
