Who Must Report: The following U.S. persons must report on this survey: (1) U.S. persons who manage the safekeeping of U.S. securities (as specified below) for foreign persons. These U.S. persons, who include the affiliates in the United States of foreign entities, and are henceforth referred to as U.S. custodians, must report on this survey if the total market value of the U.S. securities whose safekeeping they manage on behalf of foreign persons— aggregated over all accounts and for all U.S. branches and affiliates of their PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 firm—is $100 million or more as of June 30, 2009.
