SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Definition: A U.S. person is any individual, branch, partnership, 
associated group, association, estate, trust, corporation, or other 
organization (whether or not organized under the laws of any State), 
and any government (including a foreign government, the United States 
Government, a State or local government, and any agency, corporation, 
financial institution, or other entity or instrumentality thereof, 
including a government-sponsored agency), who resides in the United 
States or is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
    Who Must Report: The panel for this survey is based primarily on 
the level of foreign resident holdings of U.S. securities reported on 
the June 2014 benchmark survey of foreign resident holdings of U.S. 
securities, and on the Aggregate Holdings of Long-Term Securities by 
U.S. and Foreign Residents (TIC SLT) report as of December 2016, and 
will consist mostly of the largest reporters. Entities required to 
report will be contacted individually by the Federal Reserve Bank of 
New York. Entities not contacted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New 
York have no reporting responsibilities.
    What To Report: This report will collect information on foreign 
resident holdings of U.S. securities, including equities, short-term 
debt securities (including selected money market instruments), and 
long-term debt securities.
    How To Report: Copies of the survey forms and instructions, which 
contain complete information on reporting procedures and definitions,

with the Paperwork Reduction Act and assigned control number 1505-0123.
