The change to survey reporting requirements for private funds affects BEA’s direct investment surveys. These include surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad (USDIA), which are reported on forms BE-577, BE-10, and BE-11; and surveys of foreign direct investment in the United States (FDIUS), which are reported on forms BE-605, BE-13, BE-12, and BE-15. Additional information on BEA’s USDIA surveys can be found at www.bea.gov/surveys/diasurv.htm; additional information on BEA’s FDIUS surveys can be found at www.bea.gov/surveys/fdiusurv.htm.
