Direct Investment Surveys: BE-605, Transactions of U.S. Affiliate, Except a U.S. Banking Affiliate, With Foreign Parent, and BE-605 Bank, Transactions of U.S. Banking Affiliate With Foreign Parent

Özet

This final rule revises regulations for the quarterly survey of foreign direct investment in the United States, which is comprised of two forms--the BE-605, Transactions of U.S. Affiliate, Except a U.S. Banking Affiliate, With Foreign Parent, and BE-605 Bank, Transactions of U.S. Banking Affiliate With Foreign Parent. This final rule amends 15 CFR part 806.15 to set forth revised reporting requirements for the BE-605, Transactions of U.S. Affiliate, Except a U.S. Banking Affiliate, With Foreign Parent, and BE-605 Bank, Transactions of U.S. Banking Affiliate With Foreign Parent. BEA believes that these changes should result in no change in the overall respondent burden. Any increase in burden due to the addition of questions on the BE-605 Bank form will be offset by a reduction in burden for BHC's, because reporting for these entities will be more consistent with the filing of regulatory reports and annual reports to stockholders.
