This survey collects data to understand the expenses of foreign ocean carriers in the U.S. and measure trade in transport services, which is crucial for analyzing its impact on both the U.S. and foreign economies. Entities required to respond include U.S. agents who managed 40 or more foreign carrier port calls or had expenses of $250,000 or more. Responses must be submitted within 45 days after the calendar year ends.

They promised to send everything they need to fill out the form, but if you didn’t hear from them, you don’t have to worry about it.

    The Department of Commerce is seeking public feedback on a new information collection effort by the U.S. Census Bureau, named the Management and Organizational Practices Survey-Hospitals (MOPS-HP). This survey aims to gather data on management practices in hospitals, with responses sourced mainly from Chief Nursing Officers across approximately 3,200 hospitals. The purpose is to understand how these practices affect financial and clinical outcomes, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey will run from April to October 2021 and is mandatory under U.S. law, with results made available to the public and researchers to aid in improving hospital management and outcomes.

    The government wants to ask hospitals questions to learn how they manage things, especially during COVID-19, to see if it helps them do better. They're asking nurses in charge at many hospitals and want to make the findings known without being too hard for anyone to understand.

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), part of the Department of Commerce, announced a mandatory survey called the Quarterly Survey of Financial Services Transactions (BE-185) to measure trade in financial services between U.S. providers and foreign persons. This survey is essential for understanding the impact of U.S. trade both domestically and internationally and is authorized by relevant trade acts. U.S. companies involved in these transactions exceeding specific thresholds are required to report, with details on how and when to submit the reports provided. The survey process is overseen by the Office of Management and Budget and has an estimated completion time of 10 hours per response.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce has announced it is conducting the BE-9 survey, which is mandatory for U.S. representatives of foreign airlines that have significant revenue or expenses in the U.S. The survey gathers data on these airlines' revenues, expenses, and passenger numbers. U.S. entities that meet the criteria will be contacted by BEA and must submit their reports within 30 days after each quarter. The survey aims to help analyze U.S. trade in transport services and is authorized by federal law.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants certain foreign airlines that make or spend a lot of money in the U.S. to tell them about their earnings and costs every three months, so they can understand how this affects trade and the economy. However, the rules might be confusing about who exactly needs to report, and they don't clearly say what happens if someone doesn't follow them.
