SUMMARY: By this Notice, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA),

the mandatory survey titled Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions
by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons (BE-45). The data
collected on the BE-45 survey are needed to measure U.S. trade in
insurance services and to analyze the impact of U.S. trade on the U.S.
and foreign economies. This survey is authorized by the International
Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act.

Surveys Branch, Balance of Payments Division, via phone at (301) 278-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through this Notice, BEA publishes the
reporting requirements for the BE-45 survey form. As noted below, all
entities required to respond to this mandatory survey will be contacted
by BEA. Entities must submit the completed survey forms within 30 days
after the end of each calendar quarter, except for the final quarter of
the calendar year when reports must be filed within 45 days. This
Notice is being issued in conformance with the rule BEA issued on April
24, 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-45 survey form and
