Purpose: This survey collects data on the acquisition or establishment of U.S. business enterprises by foreign investors and the expansion
of existing U.S. affiliates of foreign companies to establish a new production facility. The data collected on the survey are used to measure the
amount of new foreign direct investment in the United States, assess the impact on the U.S. economy, and based on this assessment, make
informed policy decisions regarding foreign direct investment in the United States.
Authority: This survey is being conducted under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (P.L. 94-472, 90 Stat. 2059, 22
U.S.C. 3101-3108, as amended) –hereinafter “the Act”, and the filing of reports is MANDATORY pursuant to Section 5(b)(2) of the Act (22 U.S.C.
3104). The implementing regulations are contained in Title 15, CFR, Part 801.
Penalties: Whoever fails to report may be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $2,500, and not more than $32,500, and to injunctive relief
commanding such person to comply, or both. Whoever willfully fails to report shall be fined not more than $10,000 and, if an individual, may be
imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. Any officer, director, employee, or agent of any corporation who knowlingly participates in such
violation, upon conviction, may be punished by a like fine, imprisonment, or both. (22 U.S.C. 3105). Civil penalties are subject to inflationary
adjustments. Those adjustments are found in 15 CFR 6.4.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
Respondent burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2.5 hours per response, including
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing burden, to: Director, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BE-1), U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; and
to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 0608-0035, Washington, DC 20503.

purposes. Without your prior written permission, the information filed in your report CANNOT be presented in a manner that allows it to be

FORM BE-13C (REV. 09/2014)

BE-13C – Acquisition of U.S. Business Enterprise, Segment, or Operating Unit that is Merged with
Existing U.S. Affiliate
DEFINITIONS
Affiliate means a business enterprise located in one country that is
directly or indirectly owned or controlled by an entity of another country
to the extent of 10 percent or more of its voting stock for an incorporated
business or an equivalent interest for an unincorporated business,
including a branch.

Foreign direct investment in the United States means the
ownership or control, directly or indirectly, by one foreign investor of 10
percent or more of the voting securities of an incorporated U.S. business
enterprise or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated U.S. business
enterprise, including a branch or partnership.

Affiliated foreign group means (i) the foreign parent, (ii) any foreign
entity, proceeding up the foreign parent’s ownership chain, that owns
more than 50 percent of the entity below it up to and including that entity
which is not owned more than 50 percent by another foreign entity, and
(iii) any foreign entity, proceeding down the ownership chain(s) of each
of these members, which is owned more than 50 percent by the entity
above it.

Foreign parent means each and every foreign entity that directly
holds a voting interest of 10 percent or
more in the U.S. business enterprise identified as the U.S. affiliate.

Associated group means two or more persons who, by the
appearance of their actions, by agreement, or by an understanding,
exercise their voting privileges in a concerted manner to influence
the management of a business enterprise. Each of the following are
deemed to be an associated group:
(1)	 Members of the same family,
(2)	 A business enterprise and one or more of its officers and
directors,
(3)	 Members of a syndicate or joint venture, or
(4)	 A corporation and its domestic subsidiaries.
Branch means the operations or activities conducted by an entity in a
different location in its own name rather than through an incorporated
entity.
Business enterprise means any organization, association, branch,
or venture that exists for profit making purposes or to otherwise secure
economic advantage, and any ownership of any real estate.
Employment should reflect the number of employees during normal
operations of the U.S. business enterprise.
(1)	 If a strike, or other interruption of operations, was in progress
at the end of the year, report a number that represents normal
operation.
(2)	 If the business enterprises’ activity involves large seasonal
variations, report a number that represents an average for the
year.
Entity (as used here, “entity” is synonymous with “person,” as that
term is used in the broad legal sense) means any individual, branch,
partnership, associated group, association, estate, trust, corporation,
or other organization (whether or not organized under the laws of any
State), and any government (including a foreign government, the United
States Government, a State or local government, and any agency,
corporation, financial institution, or other entity or instrumentality thereof,
including a government-sponsored agency).

Foreign residence for individuals who do not reside in their country
of citizenship is determined using the following guidelines:
(1)	 Individuals who reside, or expect to reside, outside their
country of citizenship for less than one year are considered to
be residents of their country of citizenship.
(2)	 Individuals who reside, or expect to reside, outside their
country of citizenship for one year or more are considered to be
residents of the country in which they are residing, except as
provided in 3 below.
(3)	 If an owner or employee of a business enterprise resides
outside the country of location of the enterprise for one year
or more for the purpose of furthering the business of the
enterprise, and the country of the business enterprise is the
country of citizenship of the owner or employee, then the
owner or employee is considered a resident of the country
of citizenship provided he or she intends to return within a
reasonable period of time.
(4)	 Individuals and members of their immediate families who reside
