investment in operating companies,
including investment by and through
private funds, will continue to be
reported to BEA. Guidance on the
decision to report investments in certain
private funds or between entities of
certain private funds in the TIC system
or in BEA surveys can be found at:
https://www.bea.gov/privatefunds; use
the tool labeled ‘‘U.S. Investments in
Foreign Private Funds’’. This change in
reporting requirements aligns the U.S.
direct investment and portfolio
investment data more closely with the
intent of the investment with respect to
management control. In addition, it
reduces burden for respondents, many
of whom previously reported both to the
TIC reporting system and to BEA’s
direct investment reporting system.
Note: this change applies also to these
other TIC forms if the reporting
requirements of the form are met: BC,
BL–1, BL–2, BQ–1, BQ–2, BQ–3, D, S,
SLT, and SHL/SHLA.
(5) Section III.G ‘‘Direct Investment’’
has been, in effect, expanded to be equal
to the detailed description of direct
investment in the TIC GLOSSARY.
(6) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 1’’ (section IV.A in the
instructions), the phrase in parentheses
in line 20 is clarified and reads
‘‘(records with Schedule 2, Item 12 =
security types 1, 2, 3, or 4)’’.
(7) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 1’’ (section IV.A in the
instructions), the phrase in parentheses
in line 21 is clarified and reads
‘‘(records with Schedule 2, Item 12 =
security types 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11)’’.
(8) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 1’’ (section IV.A in the
instructions), the phrase in parentheses
in line 22 is clarified and reads
‘‘(records with Schedule 2, Item 12 =
security types 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11)’’.
(9) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 1’’ (section IV.A in the
instructions), the phrase in parentheses
in line 23 is clarified and reads
‘‘(records with Schedule 2, Item 12 =
security type 12)’’.
(10) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 2’’, the third part of the
note for Type 8 in line 8 is changed to
read ‘‘(3) Short-term sovereign debt
securities should be reported as type 11;
and (4) . . .’’
(11) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 2’’, the note for ‘‘Type 11’’
in line 11 is changed to read ‘‘Type 11
should include all debt other than assetbacked securities that is not covered in
types 5–10, including short-term
sovereign debt securities.’’
(12) In the ‘‘Line-by-Line Instructions
for Schedule 3’’ (section IV.C in the
instructions), subpart 3 ‘‘Custodian
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:10 Jun 14, 2017
Jkt 241001
Code’’ is expanded to add the last line
with bullet items ‘‘If you are not
required to submit Schedule 2 records,
please submit up to two additional
Schedule 3 reports:
• Using custodian code 77, submit
summary data on foreign securities held
directly with foreign resident
custodians, including foreign-resident
offices of U.S. banks or U.S. broker/
dealers, and with foreign-resident
central securities depositories.
• Using custodian code 88, submit
summary data on foreign securities held
directly, managed directly, or held with
U.S.-resident central securities
depositories (and for which no U.S.resident custodian is used).’’
In addition, codes 77 and 88 are
included in Appendix F: ‘‘List of
Custodian Codes’’.
(13) Some other clarifications may be
made in other parts of the instructions.
The changes will improve overall
survey reporting.
Type of Review: Revision of currently
approved data collection.
Affected Public: Business/Financial
Institutions.
Form: TIC SHC/SHCA, Schedules 1, 2
and 3 (1505–0146).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
An annual average (over five years) of
306, but this varies widely from about
785 in benchmark years (once every five
years) to about 190 in other years (four
out of every five years).
Estimated Average Time per
Respondent: An annual average (over
five years) of about 174 hours, but this
will vary widely from respondent to
respondent. (a) In the year of a
benchmark survey, which is conducted
once every five years, it is estimated that
exempt respondents will require an
average of 17 hours; custodians of
securities providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
361 hours, but this figure will vary
widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
121 hours; and end-investors and
custodians employing U.S. custodians
will require an average of 41 hours. (b)
In a non-benchmark year, which occurs
four years out of every five years:
Custodians of securities providing
security-by-security information will
require an average of 546 hours (because
only the largest U.S.-resident custodians
will report), but this figure will vary
widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
146 hours; and reporters entrusting their
foreign securities to U.S. custodians will
require an average of 49 hours. The
exemption level, which applies only in
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
27547
benchmark years when filing schedules
2 or 3 or both, for custodians and for
end-investors is the holding of less than
$200 million in reportable foreign
securities owned by U.S. residents. For
schedule 2, end-investors should
exclude securities that are held with
their unaffiliated U.S.-resident
custodians.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: An annual average (over five
years) of 53,260 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record. The
public is invited to submit written
comments concerning: (a) Whether the
Survey is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Office of International Affairs within the
Department of the Treasury, including
whether the information collected will
have practical uses; (b) the accuracy of
the above estimate of the burdens; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, usefulness
and clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
reporting and/or record keeping burdens
on respondents, including the use of
information technologies to automate
the collection of the data requested; and
(e) estimates of capital or start-up costs
of operation, maintenance and purchase
of services to provide the information
requested.
