Purpose: The BE-13 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.

implementing regulations are contained in Title 15, CFR, Part 801.

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 knowingly 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.
