(a) United States business investments abroad-(1) Basic requirement. A report is required from every corporation, partnership, individual, or any other person or closely related group of persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and ordinarily residing within the United States having:

(i) Ownership of 25 percent or more of the voting stock of foreign corporations, either directly or together with domestic or foreign affiliates (Forms BE-577 and BE-577S). See § 803.2(a) (1) for further detail.

(ii) Ownership of at least 10 percent, but less than 25 percent, of the voting stock of foreign corporations, or the equivalent interest in an unincorporated foreign enterprise, held either directly or together with domestic affiliates (Form BE-577A). See § 803.2(a) (1) for further detail.

(iii) Unincorporated foreign branches, or other direct foreign operations conducted by a United States incorporated interprise or other business organization in its own name in a foreign country. This includes mining claims, oil concessions, exploration and development activities or other property held by United States persons directly or jointly with others (Form BE-578). See § 803.2(a) (1) for further detail.

(2) Estates and trusts. Direct foreign investments held by a domestic estate or trust, i.e., an estate or trust created under the laws of the United States or any subdivision thereof, shall be reported by the fiduciary and not by a beneficiary. Such property must be reported whether or not any beneficiary is subject to the laws of the United States or any subdivision thereof.

(3) Persons beneficially interested in property. If direct foreign investments beneficially owned by a person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States were held by or in the name of another, only the person having the beneficial interest shall report, except as specifically provided above regarding domestic estates and trusts.

(4) More than one person owning an interest in the same foreign organization. Each owner is required to report if the aggregate ownership of the affiliated persons in the foreign organization totals 25 percent or more of the voting securities. However, combined reports may be filed to cover the transactions of more than

one owner. Where combined reports are filed, all owners other than the reporter(s) filing the full report remain liable for the report.

(5) Insurance companies. Reports for foreign branches or subsidiaries are required on Form BE-5781.

(6) Motion picture companies. United States producers or distributors of motion pictures operating in foreign countries through subsidiaries, affiliates or branches, may file quarterly reports on Form BE-35 in lieu of Forms BE-577 and BE-578; however, Forms BE-577S and BE-577A must be filed annually, if applicable.

(b) Foreign business investment in the United States-(1) Basic requirement. A report is required to be filed with respect to every business enterprise subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in which foreign persons, either as individuals or as affiliates hold a controlling interest, or which is controlled in the manner indicated in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph directly or indirectly by a foreign person or persons. Such business enterprises shall include, but not be limited to, corporations, partnerships, investments in real property, leaseholds, estates, trusts, and sole proprietorships or other forms of outright individual ownership.

(2) Foreign beneficial interest. If the foreign controlling interest in a United States business enterprise, including commercial real property, is held, exercised or administered by a United States estate, trust (including irrevocable trusts), nominee, agent, representative, custodian, or other intermediary of the foreign beneficial owners, such intermediary shall be responsible for reporting for the business enterprise the required information on Form BE-605, BE-606, BE-606B or BE-6061, or shall instruct the United States business enterprise in question to submit the required information. This does not relieve the United States business enterprise of responsibility for reporting if such business enterprise has knowledge of the direct or indirect foreign controlling interest, but only one report should be filed for each such enterprise. For the purposes of this report, accounts or transactions of a United States business enterprise with a United States estate, trust, nominee or other intermediary of foreign beneficial owners shall be considered as accounts or transactions with such beneficial owners.

(3) Insurance companies. Reports for U.S. branches or subsidiaries of foreign insurance companies are required on Form BE-6061.

(4) Consolidated reports. If a reporter held a controlling interest in other United States enterprises engaged in the same type of business and is required to report, the information requested in the reporting forms may be consolidated for such reporter and enterprises, provided all accounts are fully consolidated. A list of the enterprises included in the consolidations must be provided.

(c) International receipts and payments of royalties, license fees, rentals, etc. United States individuals and firms who have entered into agreements with residents or governments of foreign countries to sell or buy outright or provide or be provided with the use of intangible assets or rights such as patents, techniques, processes, formulae, designs, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, manufacturing rights, and other similar intangible property or rights shall report on Form BE-93.

NOTE: Film royalties, oil royalties, and other natural resources (mining) royalties are not reportable on this form.

Companies leasing or renting machinery, equipment, etc., should also respond on this form.

Form BE-577. One Form BE-577 is to be filed quarterly for each foreign corporation directly owned by the reporter and/or its domestic and foreign affiliates to the extent of at least 25 percent of total outstanding voting stock. Where more than one domestic affiliate has transactions with, or interests in, the same foreign corporation, consolidated reports should be filed; consolidated reports may also be filed where several foreign subsidiaries operate in the same country and industry. Reports are also required for direct transactions with foreign enterprises in which 25 percent or more of the voting stock is held through primary foreign enterprises.
