DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis.
    Title: Survey of Foreign Airline Operators' Revenues and Expenses 
in the United States--BE-36.
    Form Number(s): BE-36.
    OMB Approval Number: 0608-0013.
    Type of Request: Extension--regular submission.
    Burden: 350 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 70.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 5 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of Economic Analysis is responsible for 
the computation and publication of the U.S. balance of payments 
accounts. The information collected in this survey is an integral part 
of the ``transportation'' portion of the U.S. balance of payments 
accounts. The balance of payments accounts, which are published 
quarterly in the Bureau's monthly publication, the Survey of Current 
Business, are one of the major statistical products of BEA. The 
accounts provide a statistical summary of U.S. international 
transactions. They are used by government and private organizations for 
national and international policy formulation, and analytical studies. 
Without the information collected in this survey, an integral component 
of the transportation account would be omitted. No other Government 
agency collects comprehensive annual data on foreign airline operators' 
revenues and expenses in the United States.
    Affected Public: Foreign air carriers.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: The International Investment and Trade Services 
Act. 22 U.S.C. 3101-3108.
    OMB Desk Officer: Paul Bugg, (202) 395-3093.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, 
(202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, Room, 5327, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to Paul Bugg,

Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: November 7, 1997.

Organization.
