DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Department of Commerce.
    Title: Quarterly Survey of Ocean Freight Revenues and Foreign 
Expenses of U.S. Carriers (BE-30) and the Quarterly Survey of U.S. 
Airline Operators' Foreign Revenues and Expenses (BE-37).
    OMB Control Number: 0608-0011.
    Form Number: BE-30 and BE-37.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Responses: BE-30 responses: 280 annually (70 filed each 
quarter; 62 reporting mandatory data, and 8 that would file exemption 
claims).
    BE-37 responses: 120 annually (30 filed each quarter; 29 reporting 
mandatory data, and one that would file an exemption claim).
    Average Hours per Response: 4 hours is the average for those 
reporting data and one hour is the average for those filing an 
exemption, but hours may vary considerably among respondents because of 
differences in company size and complexity.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,492 (BE-30 burden hours of 
1,024 and BE-37 burden hours of 468).
    Needs and Uses: The Quarterly Survey of Ocean Freight Revenues and 
Foreign Expenses of U.S. Carriers (BE-30) is a survey that collects 
data from U.S. ocean freight carriers (owners and operators) whose 
total covered revenues or total covered expenses incurred outside the 
United States were $500,000 or more in the previous year or are 
expected to be $500,000 or more during the current year. The covered 
revenues are: (1) Revenue on cargo outbound from U.S. ports and the 
associated shipping weight; (2) revenue on cargo inbound into the 
United States and the associated shipping weight; (3) revenue on cross-
trade cargoes; and (4) charter hire (with crew) and space leasing 
revenues from foreign residents. The covered expenses are: (1) Fuel 
expenses in foreign countries; (2) expenses in foreign countries (other 
than fuel expenses); and (3) charter hire (with crew) and space leasing 
payments to foreign residents.
    The Quarterly Survey of U.S. Airline Operators' Foreign Revenues 
and Expenses (BE-37) is a survey that collects data from U.S. airline 
operators engaged in the international transportation of goods and/or 
passengers and whose total covered revenues or total covered expenses 
incurred outside the United States were $500,000 or more in the 
previous year or are expected to be $500,000 or more during the current 
year. The covered revenues are: (1) Revenue derived from carriage of 
export freight and express from the United States to points outside the 
United States; (2) revenue derived from carriage of freight and express 
originating from, and destined to, points outside the United States; 
(3) revenue derived from transporting passengers originating from, and 
destined to, points outside the United States; (4) revenue from 
transporting passengers to and from the United States and the 
associated number of passengers; and (5) interline settlement receipts 
from foreign airline operators. The covered expenses are: (1) Expenses 
incurred outside the United States for fuel and oil, station and 
maintenance bases, wages, and other goods and services purchased abroad 
(except aircraft leasing expenses); (2) aircraft (with crew) leasing 
expenses; and (3) interline settlement payments to foreign airline 
operators.
    The data collected on the surveys are needed to monitor U.S. trade 
in transport services, to analyze the impact of these cross-border 
services on the U.S. and foreign economies, to compile and improve the 
U.S. economic accounts, to support U.S. commercial policy on trade in 
transport services, to conduct trade promotion, and to improve the 
ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market 
opportunities. The data are used in estimating the transport component 
of the U.S. international transactions accounts (ITAs) and national 
income and product accounts (NIPAs).
    The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is not making any 
modifications to the current BE-30 and BE-37 surveys. The effort to 
keep current reporting requirements unchanged is intended to minimize 
respondent burden while considering the needs of data users. Existing 
language in the instructions and definitions will be reviewed and 
adjusted as necessary to clarify survey requirements.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Robert Sivinski, (202) 395-1205.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov 
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/. Follow the instructions to view 
Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected].
