The Department of Commerce (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 (BEA), Commerce.

These accounts are used extensively by both government and private organizations for national and international economic policy formulation and for analytical purposes. The information collected in this survey is used to develop the "private remittances" portion of the ITA's. Without this information, an integral component of the ITA's would be omitted. In addition, the information from this survey is used by international organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund; various private organizations; and other government agencies, such as the Treasury Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, to, among other things, analyze economic trends and support economic growth and prosperity.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
