20XX Annual Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States – BE-15
Past Due
The due date for your 20XX Annual Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States (BE-15) has
passed and, according to our records, BEA has not received your report as of XXX. To prevent further
follow-up action, return a completed report for your fiscal year that ended in calendar year 20XX (Form
BE-15A, BE-15B, BE-15C, or BE-15 Claim for Exemption) no later than XXX. Our records may not fully
reflect all paper forms submitted by mail. If you already submitted your 20XX BE-15 report no further
action is necessary.
To ensure timely receipt of your reports, we encourage you to file electronically using BEA's secure eFile
system (www.bea.gov/eFile) or faxing your response to us at (301) 278-9500. If your report has been
delayed because some information is not available, please provide reasonable estimates.
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
information for the BE-15 survey is available at www.bea.gov/fdi.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Your response makes a difference in producing accurate
and objective statistics on the U.S. economy.
Sincerely,

Jessica M. Hanson
Chief, Direct Investment Division
