BE 15 Claim for excemption from reporting foreign investment in the USA

Hi All

just trying to get this form in before the end of may cut off but the form has a requirement
 for a BE15 Identification number.

When I went to actually find out how to submit this form I tried to register for an  Efile with the Bureau of economic analysis it came back with

Hello: Please provide the six digit alphanumeric BEA ID number for this affiliate. It can be found pre-printed on top of the forms that were mailed to you. If you received Supplements from us, please provide the Document ID number. Thank you,

Seems to imply that they invite you to submit a report rather than being proactive and avoiding exposure to the stated penalties.

General info that is available on another site
