ACTION: Notice of reporting requirements.

SUMMARY: By this Notice, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), 
Department of Commerce, is informing the public

[[Page 10738]]

that it is conducting the mandatory survey titled Annual Survey of 
Foreign Direct Investment in the United States (BE-15). This survey is 
authorized by the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey 
Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this Notice is to notify all 
U.S. persons who meet the reporting requirements set forth in this 
Notice that they must respond to, and comply with, the BE-15. A 
completed report covering a reporting company's fiscal year ending 
during the previous calendar year is due by May 31 (or by June 30 for 
reporting companies that use BEA's eFile system). 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-15 survey forms and instructions are available on the 
BEA Web site at www.bea.gov/fdi.
