The due date for your 20XX Annual Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad (BE-11) has passed and,

report (comprising Form BE-11A and Forms BE-11B, BE-11C and/or BE-11D) or a valid Claim for Not
Filing by XXXX, 20XX. Our records may not fully reflect all paper forms submitted by mail. If you already

To ensure timely receipt of your reports, we encourage you to file electronically using BEA's secure eFile

available, please report estimated figures.
Reporting on the survey is mandatory under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey
Act (22 U.S.C. 3101-3108). The Act also ensures that your response is confidential. Additional

Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Your response makes a difference in producing accurate

Sincerely,
