■ No — Stop here and return pages 1 through 3 according to the instructions on page 1.
You are required to complete separate schedules based on the U.S. Reporter’s relationship with the foreign transactor. Separate copies of each
schedule are required to report transactions with (1) your foreign affiliates, (2) your foreign parent(s) and other members of the foreign parent group
(FPG), and (3) unaffiliated foreign persons. For example, if the U.S. Reporter had quarterly reinsurance premiums earned from its foreign affiliates
and unaffiliated foreign persons, then you are required to complete the Schedule A for transactions with the U.S. Reporter’s foreign affiliates, and
the Schedule A for those transactions with unaffiliated foreign persons. If the U.S. Reporter had no transactions with one or more foreign transactor
types, a schedule does not need to be completed for that foreign transactor type. See instruction IV on page 11 of the General Instructions for
definitions of foreign affiliates, foreign parent group, and unaffiliated foreign persons.
NOTE — Only report cross-border transactions between the U.S. Reporter’s consolidated U.S. enterprises and foreign persons. Do not report
transactions between the U.S. Reporter’s foreign affiliates/foreign parent group and other foreign persons.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Public reporting burden for this BE-45 report is estimated to average 8
hours per response. This burden includes 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 to Director, Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BE-1), 4600 Silver Hill Rd., Washington, DC 20233; and to the Office
of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 0608-0066,
Washington, DC 20503.
Purpose — Reports on this form are required to obtain reliable and up-todate information on transactions between U.S. insurance companies and
foreign persons. The data will be used in compiling the U.S. international
transactions accounts and the national income and product accounts.
The information will also be used to formulate U.S. policy and to analyze
the impact of that policy, and the policies of foreign countries, on such
international transactions.
Authority — This survey is being conducted under the authority of 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 under section 5(b)(2) of the Act (22 U.S.C.
3104). Regulations for the survey may be found in 15 CFR Part 801. The
survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq).
Penalties — Persons who fail to report may be subject to a civil penalty of
not less than $4,454, and not more than $44,539, and to injunctive relief
commanding such person to comply, or both. These civil penalties are
subject to inflationary adjustments. Those adjustments are found in 15 CFR
6.4. Persons who willfully fail 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 knowingly
participates in such violations, upon conviction, may be punished by a like
fine, imprisonment, or both. (See 22 U.S.C. 3105.) Notwithstanding the
above, a U.S. person is not subject to any penalty for failure to report if a
valid OMB control number is not displayed on the form. The control number
for Form BE-45 (0608-0066) is displayed at the top of the first page of this
form.
Confidentiality — The Act provides that your report to this Bureau is
confidential and may be used only for analytical and statistical purposes.
Without your prior written permission, the information filed in your report
cannot be presented in a manner that allows it to be individually identified.
Your report cannot be used for purposes of taxation, investigation, or
regulation. Copies retained in your files are immune from legal process.Per
the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from
Cybersecurity risks through security monitoring of the BEA information
systems.
A. Who must report — A response is required from each U.S. insurance
company that was notified by BEA about the survey.
I. WHO IS TO REPORT AND GENERAL COVERAGE
1. Mandatory and voluntary reporting
(a) Mandatory reporting – A complete BE-45 report is required
from each U.S. insurance company that engaged in reinsurance
transactions with foreign persons, that earned premiums from,
or incurred losses to, foreign persons in the capacity of primary
insurers, or that engaged in international sale or purchase
transactions in services auxiliary to insurance. Filing is mandatory
if, with respect to these transactions, any of the following eight
items was greater than positive $8,000,000 or less than negative
$8,000,000 for the previous calendar year or is expected to be in the
current calendar year, on an accrual basis: (1) premiums earned,
and (2) losses, on reinsurance assumed; (3) premiums incurred,
and (4) losses, on reinsurance ceded; (5) premiums earned, and (6)
losses, on primary insurance sold; (7) sales of, and (8) purchases of,
auxiliary insurance services.
Complete Schedule A, columns 3 and 4, for each of the four quarters
of the calendar year for transactions that occurred during the
reporting quarter.
Complete Schedule B, Sections III, IV, and V, for the fourth quarter
of the calendar year for transactions that occurred during the entire
calendar year (on an annual basis).
Page 10
(b) Voluntary reporting – Please complete Schedule A, columns 5 and
6, on a voluntary basis for each of the four quarters of the calendar
year for losses that occurred during the reporting quarter. Provision
of this information is voluntary. The estimates may be judgmental.
2. Exemption — A U.S. person receiving this form from BEA is not required
to report data if transactions fall below the threshold described in A.1.
However, it must complete and return Parts I and II.
B. Transactions involving a broker — At times, insurance transactions
between a U.S. person and a foreign person may be arranged by, billed
through, or otherwise facilitated by, a broker, agent, or intermediary. In
order to avoid duplication, the data should be reported by the insurance
company assuming the risk or recovering or paying the loss. Brokers,
agents, and intermediaries are generally not to report.
C. Consolidation — A U.S. enterprise should file a single Form BE-45
covering combined (total) insurance services transactions of all its
domestic subsidiaries, and parts, that are insurance services providers.
1. Consolidating unincorporated enterprises
Consolidate into your BE-45 report the transactions of unincorporated
enterprises in which your company has voting control. Please see the
following items on determining the voting interest in typical
unincorporated enterprises.
Partnerships – Most partnerships are either general partnerships or
limited partnerships. Consolidation of partnerships and inclusion of
their insurance services transactions (purchases and sales) on the
BE-45 survey is based on voting control.
(a) General partnerships
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the percentage
of voting interest of a general partner is based on who controls the
partnership. The percentage of voting interest is not based on the
percentage of ownership in the partnership’s equity. The general
partners are presumed to control a general partnership. Unless a
clause to the contrary is contained in the partnership agreement, a
general partnership is presumed to be controlled equally by each of
the general partners.
Managing partners – If one general partner is designated as the
managing partner, responsible for the day-to-day operations of
the partnership, this does not necessarily transfer control of the
partnership to the managing partner. If the managing partner must
obtain approval for annual operating budgets and for decisions
relating to significant management issues from the other general
partners, then the managing partner does not have a 100 percent
voting interest in the partnership.
(b) Limited partnerships
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the percentage
of voting interest in a limited partnership is based on who controls
the partnership. The percentage of voting interest is not based on the
percentage of ownership in the partnership’s equity. In most cases,
the general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership, and
therefore, have a 100 percent voting interest in the limited partnership.
If there is more than one general partner, the partnership is presumed
to be controlled equally by each of the general partners, unless a
clause to the contrary is contained in the partnership agreement.
Therefore, unless a clause to the contrary is contained in the
partnership agreement, limited partners are presumed to have zero
voting interest in a limited partnership.
Managing partners – See discussion under “General Partnerships”
above.
(c) Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the percentage
of voting interest in an LLC is based on who controls the LLC. The
percentage of voting interest is not based on the percentage of
ownership in the LLC’s equity. LLCs are presumed to be controlled
equally by each of its members (owners), unless a clause to the
contrary is contained in the articles of organization or in the operating
agreement.
FORM BE-45 (REV. 08/2016)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS — Continued
Managing member – If one member is designated as the managing
member responsible for the day-to-day operations of the LLC, this does
not necessarily transfer control of the LLC to the managing member.
If the managing member must obtain approval for annual operating
budgets and for decisions relating to other significant management
issues from the other members, then the managing member does not
have a 100 percent voting interest in the LLC.
II. WHAT TO REPORT
A. Report transactions with affiliated foreign persons as well as with
unaffiliated foreign persons (see Definitions IV.J and K). File separate
schedules to report transactions with (1) your foreign affiliates,
(2) your foreign parent(s) and other members of the foreign parent
group, and (3) unaffiliated foreign persons.
B. Report transactions with alien insurance groups, whether or not funds
remitted to and from these organizations are cleared through their
American trust funds.
C. Note that the criterion for reporting is whether the transaction is between a
U.S. person and a foreign person. It is immaterial whether the assets
insured are located in the United States or abroad.
IV. DEFINITIONS

carriers of all types and groups of such companies.
B. United States, when used in a geographic sense, means the several

Virgin Islands and Guam are territories of the United States.
C. Foreign, when used in a geographic sense, means that which
is situated outside the United States or which belongs to or is
characteristic of a country other than the United States.
D. Person 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

government, and any agency, corporation, financial institution, or other

D. Report transactions with U.S. affiliates of foreign firms for the account of
their foreign parent firm. (Report them on the form covering your
transactions with unaffiliated foreign persons.)
E. Report transactions with foreign persons made by your foreign affiliate for
your account. (Report them on the form covering your transactions with
unaffiliated foreign persons.)
E. Business enterprise means any organization, association, branch, or
venture which exists for profitmaking purposes or to otherwise secure
economic advantage, and any ownership of any real estate. (A business
enterprise is a “person” within the definition in paragraph D above.)
III. WHAT NOT TO REPORT
F. Direct investment means the ownership or control, directly or indirectly,
by one person of 10 percent or more of the voting stock of an
incorporated business enterprise or an equivalent ownership interest in
an unincorporated business enterprise.
F. Finite insurance and finite reinsurance — Finite insurance and
reinsurance contracts transfer a limited amount of insurance risk from the
policyholder to the insurer with the policyholder retaining a significant
portion of that risk. Contract terms and features that can limit the transfer
of insurance risk include the following: (1) Contract terms that result
in the premium paid by the policyholder plus anticipated investment
income earned by the insurer on that premium approximately equaling the
reimbursements (including claim recoveries and any contract
adjustments) expected by the policyholder from the insurer (2) Adjustable
features that result in profit-and-loss sharing arrangements between the
policyholder and the insurer (3) A contract coverage period that extends
beyond one year and premiums for subsequent periods that may depend
on the loss experience of earlier years (4) Limits on the amount of claims
to be paid by the insurer (5) Loss corridors that limit or eliminate the risk
of loss for a specified percentage or dollar amount of claims within the
range of contract coverage (6) Favorable contract termination provisions,
for example, that would result in a loss to the policyholder (7) Premiums
that are a substantial percentage of the maximum coverage provided.
Types of finite insurance include, but are not limited to, loss portfolio
transfers, adverse development coverages, and spread loss coverages.
There may be other types of finite reinsurance that are not explicitly listed
but are substantially identical in function and should not be reported on
the survey as well.
G. Do not report transactions with U.S. affiliates of foreign firms for their own
account. Transactions with these U.S. affiliates are considered domesticto-domestic for purposes of this survey.
H. Do not report transactions with foreigners made by your foreign affiliates
for their own account.
I. Do not report premiums to, or losses from, foreign insurance companies
on primary or direct insurance. Premiums on such insurance purchased
from foreign insurance companies are to be reported on Form BE-120,

Assets with Foreign Persons, and Form BE-125, Quarterly Survey of
Transactions in Selected Services and Intangible Assets with Foreign
Persons.

case reserves at the beginning of the quarter, minus losses incurred but not
reported at the beginning of the quarter. Losses paid or recovered should not
include loss adjustment expenses (reportable on Schedule B).
For life insurance companies
Premiums received (column 3) and paid (column 4) reflect premiums
accrued on reinsurance assumed from or ceded to insurance companies
resident abroad. These amounts, therefore, are adjusted for changes in due,
deferred, and advanced premiums for each quarter. Report premiums gross
of commissions and profit commissions paid to or received from foreign
persons, including commissions initially paid to or received from a U.S.
intermediary (agent or broker) of a foreign person.
Losses paid (column 5) and recovered (column 6) reflect policy claims on
reinsurance assumed or ceded, adjusted for changes in claims due, unpaid,
and in the course of settlement.

For property and casualty insurance companies (columns 3 and 4)
Report premiums (column 3) as follows: Premiums written during the current
year, plus unearned premiums at the beginning of the current calendar year,
minus unearned premiums at the end of the current calendar year. Report
premiums net of cancellations. Report premiums gross of commissions
and profit commissions paid to or received from foreign persons, including
commissions initially paid to or received from a U.S. intermediary (agent or
broker) of a foreign person.
Report losses paid (columns 4 and 5) or recovered (column 6) as follows:
Losses during the current year, plus case reserves at the end of the current
year, plus losses incurred but not reported at the end of the current year,
minus case reserves at the beginning of the current year, minus losses
incurred but not reported at the beginning of the current year. Losses paid
or recovered should not include loss adjustment expenses (reportable under
column 8).
For life insurance companies (columns 3 and 4)
VI. REPORTING PROCEDURES
A. Due date — A completed BE-45 is due within 60 days of the close of
each calendar quarter, except the final quarter of the calendar year,
when the reports are due within 90 days of the close of the quarter.
B. Calendar year — For the purposes of this form, you must report on
a calendar year basis. For example, your fourth quarter report is your
reporting quarter that ends in the fourth calendar quarter.
C. Extension — Requests for an extension of the reporting deadline
will not normally be granted. However, in a hardship case, a written
request for an extension will be considered if it is received at least 15
days before the due date. You may fax the request to (301) 278-9506
or e-mail the request to [email protected]. BEA will provide a
written response to such a request.
D. Assistance and additional copies of the forms — Phone (301) 2789303 for assistance. Copies of BEA survey forms are also available on
BEA’s web site: www.bea.gov/ssb.
E. Rounding — Report currency amounts in U.S. dollars rounded to
thousands (omitting 000). For example, if the amount is $1,334,515.00,
report it as $1,335.
F. Estimates — If actual figures are not available, report estimates and
label them as such. When data items cannot be fully subdivided as
required, report totals and an estimated breakdown of the totals.
G. Original and file copies — File a single original copy of the form.
Please use the copy with the address label if such a labeled copy has
