Sec. 801.1  Purpose.

    The purpose of this part is to set forth the rules and regulations 
necessary to carry out the data collection program concerning 
international trade in services that is required by, or provided for in, 
the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (Pub. L. 
94-472, 90 Stat. 2059, 22 U.S.C. 3101 to 3108, as amended by section 306 
of Pub. L. 98-573), hereafter ``the Act.'' The overall purpose of the 
Act with respect to services trade is to provide comprehensive and 
reliable information pertaining to international trade in services, and 
to do so with the minimum burden on respondents and with no unnecessary 
duplication of effort. The data are needed for policymaking purposes, 
for conducting international negotiations on trade in services, and for 
improving the recording of services transactions in the U.S. balance of 
payments accounts.
