Raise BE-605 Filing Threshold to $500M
The Bureau of Economic Analysis proposes raising the BE-605 filing threshold from $60,000,000 to $500,000,000. The BE-605 applies to U.S. businesses that are 10% or more foreign-owned and that meet the asset, sales, or net income threshold; under the proposal, only affiliates above $500,000,000 would be required to file, which BEA says will reduce respondent burden and BEA processing resources. The agency is seeking public comments by March 16, 2026.
