being issued in conformance with the rule BEA issued in 2012 (77 FR

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-29 survey form and instructions 
are available on the BEA Web site at www.bea.gov/ssb.

report, the information to be reported, the manner of reporting, and
