complete information on reporting procedures and definitions, may be

contacting the survey staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at 
(212) 720-6300 or (646) 720-6300, email: [email protected]. The

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 2017, 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.
    Paperwork Reduction Act Notice: This data collection has been 
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in accordance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and assigned control number 1505-0123. 
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid 
control number assigned by OMB. The estimated average annual burden 
associated with this collection of information is 486 hours per report 
for the largest custodians of securities, and 110 hours per report for 
the largest issuers of securities that have data to report and are not 
custodians. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate 
and suggestions for reducing this burden should be directed to the 
Department of the Treasury, Office of International Affairs, Attention 
Administrator, International Portfolio Investment Data Reporting 
Systems, Room 5422, Washington, DC 20220, and to OMB, Attention Desk 
Officer for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC 20503.

    Authority:  22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq., and in accordance with 31 
CFR 129.
