BE-45: Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions by U.S. 
Insurance Companies With 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 Insurance Transactions 
by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons (BE-45). 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-45. Reports 
are due 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter, or 90 days 
after the close of the calendar year. 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-45 
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 
the time and place of filing reports, will be mailed to those required 
to complete this survey.
    Who Must Report: (a) Reports are required from U.S. persons whose 
covered transactions exceeded $8 million (positive or negative) during

BEA. Entities not contacted by BEA have no reporting responsibilities.

insurance transactions between U.S. insurance companies and foreign 
persons.

reporting system at www.bea.gov/efile. Copies of the survey forms and 
instructions, which contain complete information on reporting
