The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on 07/30/2025 during a 60-day comment period. This

Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Commerce.
Title: Quarterly Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad.
OMB Control Number: 0608-0004.
Form Number: BE-577.
Type of Request: Regular submission, reinstatement without change.
Number of Respondents: 1,425 U.S. parents filing for 12,700 foreign
affiliates per quarter, 50,800 annually.

Needs and Uses: The Quarterly Survey of U.S. Direct Investment
Abroad (BE-577) is a sample survey that covers all foreign affiliates
above a size-exemption level. The sample data are used to derive
universe estimates in nonbenchmark years from similar data reported in
the BE-10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad, which is
conducted every five years. The data are essential for the preparation
of the U.S. international transactions accounts, the national income
and product accounts, the input-output accounts, and the international
investment position of the United States. The data are needed to
measure the size and economic significance of direct investment abroad,
measure changes in such investment, and assess its impact on the U.S.
and foreign economies.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
