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 Ocean Freight Revenues and Expenses of United
States, Carriers--BE-30, Survey of U.S. Airline Operators' Foreign
Revenues and Expenses--BE-37.
Form Number(s): BE-30/BE-37.
OMB Approval Number: 0608-0011
Type of Request: Extension--regular submission.
Burden: 800/320.
Number of Respondents: 40/20.
Avg Hours Per Response: 5 hours/4 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 these surveys are 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 these surveys, an integral
component of the transportation account would be omitted. No other
Government agency collects comprehensive quarterly data on U.S. ocean
carriers' freight revenues and expenses or U.S. airline operators'
foreign revenues and expenses.
Affected Public: U.S. ocean and air carriers.
Frequency: One-time.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 182.
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 publication of this notice
to Paul Bugg, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10201, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

Dated: November 13, 1997.
Linda Engelmeier,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and
Organization.
