U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Proposes Rule for Direct Investment Surveys

The Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Commerce, is proposing a rule to update the reporting requirements for the quarterly BE-577 survey, which tracks transactions between U.S.-owned foreign businesses and their U.S. parents, to align with the 2004 Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad and exclude recently collected data from other government surveys.
