BE-125: Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and 
Intellectual Property 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 Transactions in 
Selected Services and Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons (BE-
125). 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-125. Reports 
are due 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter except for the 
final quarter. After the end of fiscal year of the U.S. person, 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-
125 survey form and instructions are available on the BEA Web site at 
www.bea.gov/ssb.

Reporting

    Notice of specific reporting requirements, including who is to 
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 each U.S. person who 
had sales of covered services or intellectual property to foreign 
persons that exceeded $6 million during the prior fiscal year, or are 
expected to exceed that amount during the current fiscal year; or had 
purchases of covered services or intellectual property from foreign 
persons that exceeded $4 million during the prior 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.
    (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 U.S. 
international trade

reporting system at www.bea.gov/efile. Copies of the survey forms and

procedures and definitions, can be downloaded from the BEA Web site

each fiscal quarter, except for the final quarter of the reporter's 
fiscal year when reports must be filed within 90 days.
