The BE-120 Benchmark Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual Property is necessary to obtain complete and accurate universe data used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to produce the International Transactions Accounts (ITAs) of the United States. These accounts provide a comprehensive and detailed view of economic transactions between the United States and other countries. In addition, they provide input into other U.S. economic measures and accounts, contributing particularly to the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs) and Input-Output accounts. The ITAs are used extensively by both government and private organizations for national and international economic policy support and for analytical purposes.

The proposed rule is for the reinstatement of a previously approved information collection which is conducted on a periodic basis, once every five years, for years ending in 2 and 7. The proposed changes to the BE-120 survey include changes in data items collected and the design of the survey form. BEA proposes to add three items to the survey. The changes are proposed in response to suggestions from data users and to allow BEA to more closely align its statistics with international guidelines and publish more information on U.S. trade in services.
