The data collected on the BE-10 survey provide a variety of measures of the overall operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates. The data are needed to measure the size and economic significance of U.S. direct investment abroad, measure changes in such investment, and assess its impact on the U.S. and foreign economies. The data will provide benchmarks for deriving current universe estimates of direct investment from sample data collected in other BEA surveys in nonbenchmark years. In particular, they will serve as benchmarks for the quarterly direct investment estimates included in the U.S. international transactions and national income and product accounts, and for annual estimates of the U.S. direct investment position abroad and of the operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates.

The estimate for the 2009 BE-10 benchmark survey of 459,400 burden hours is somewhat more than the respondent burden for the previous (2004) benchmark survey. For the 2004 survey, the estimated burden was 428,750 hours. The increase in burden hours is associated with an increase in the respondent universe, partly offset by changes in survey form design and reporting criteria and information to be collected.
