## Abstract

This final rule amends regulations of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) setting forth reporting requirements for the BE-605 quarterly survey of foreign direct investment in the United States. The survey obtains quarterly sample data on transactions and positions between foreign-owned U.S. business enterprises (U.S. affiliates) and their "affiliated foreign groups" (i.e., their foreign parents and foreign affiliates of their foreign parents). Through this rule, BEA will make a number of changes to the BE-605 survey. BEA will discontinue the use of separate forms for banks. Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, both bank and nonbank U.S. affiliates will file Form BE-605. In conjunction with this change, BEA will change the title of Form BE-605. BEA will add and delete certain items on the survey form and change the reporting criteria. BEA will also collect identification information for affiliates filing Form BE- 605 for the first time, and make changes to the BE-605 form and instructions to bring them into conformity with the recently revised annual and benchmark surveys of foreign direct investment in the United States.
