recall notification of noncompliance as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and
remedying the recall noncompliance as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be
granted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the vehicles that Morgan no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However, a
decision on this petition cannot relieve
vehicle distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale,
introduction or delivery for introduction
into interstate commerce of the
noncompliant motor vehicles under
their control after Morgan notified them
that the subject noncompliance existed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the proposed forms and
instructions are unchanged from the
previous survey that was conducted as
of June 30, 2013 (Form SHLA(2013)),
except that the ‘‘who must report’’
section of the instructions is designed
for a benchmark survey. Forms and
instruction are available on the
Treasury’s TIC Web page for ‘‘Forms
SHL/SHLA & SHC/SHCA’’ (Part I.A), at:
https://www.treasury.gov/resourcecenter/data-chart-center/tic/Pages/
forms-sh.aspx. Requests for additional
information should be directed to Mr.
Wolkow.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Treasury Department Form
SHLA/SHL, Foreign-Residents’
Holdings of U.S. Securities, including
Selected Money Market Instruments.
OMB Number: 1505–0123
Abstract: These forms are used to
conduct annual surveys of holdings by
foreign-residents of U.S. securities for
portfolio investment purposes. These
data are used by the U.S. Government in
the formulation of international and
financial policies and for the
computation of the U.S. balance of
payments accounts and the U.S.
international investment position. These
data will also be used to provide
information to the public and to meet
international reporting commitments.
The benchmark survey (Form SHL) is
conducted once every five years, and
requires reporting by all significant
U.S.-resident custodians and U.S.resident security issuers. In nonbenchmark years an annual survey
(Form SHLA) is conducted, and requires
reports primarily from the very largest
U.S.-resident custodians and issuers.
The data requested will be the same in
Form SHL and, during the four
succeeding years, in Form SHLA. The
determination of who must report in the
annual surveys (SHLA) will be based
upon the securities data submitted
during the previous benchmark survey.
The data collected under the annual
surveys (SHLA) will be used in
conjunction with the results of the
previous benchmark survey to compute
economy-wide estimates for the nonbenchmark years.
Current Actions: No changes in the
forms or instructions will be made from

the previous survey that was conducted
as of June 30, 2013, except that the
‘‘who must report’’ section of the
instructions is designed for a benchmark
survey.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business/Financial
Institutions.
Forms: TDF SHLA, Schedule 1 and
Schedule 2 (1505–0123); TDF SHL,
Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 (1505–
0123).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
An annual average (over five years) of
191, but this varies widely from about
540 in benchmark years (once every five
years) to about 104 in each of the other
years (four out of every five years).
Estimated Average Time per
Respondent: an annual average (over
five years) of about 168 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; for custodians of
securities, the estimate is a total of 321
hours on average, but this figure will
vary widely for individual custodians;
and for issuers of securities that have
data to report and are not custodians,
the estimate is 61 hours on average. (b)
In a non-benchmark year, which occurs
four years out of every five years, for the
largest custodians of securities, the
estimate is a total of 486 hours on
average; and for the largest issuers of
securities that have data to report and
are not custodians, the estimate is 110
hours on average.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: An annual average (over five
years) of 32,060 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Request for Comments: Comments

technologies to automate the collection
of the data; and (e) estimates of capital

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: New Markets Tax Credit
(NMTC) Program—Allocation
Application.
OMB Number: 1559–0016
Abstract: Title I, subtitle C, section
121 of the Community Renewal Tax
Relief Act of 2000 (the Act) amended
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by
adding IRC § 45D and created the NMTC
Program. The Department of the
Treasury, through the CDFI Fund,
Internal Revenue Service, and Office of
Tax Policy, administers the NMTC
Program. In order to claim the NMTC,
taxpayers make Qualified Equity
Investments (QEIs) in Community
Development Entities (CDEs) and
substantially all of the QEI proceeds
must, in turn, be used by the CDE to
provide investments in businesses and
real estate developments in low-income
communities and other purposes
authorized under the statute.
The tax credit provided to the
investor totals 39 percent of the amount
of the investment and is claimed over a
seven-year period. In each of the first
three years, the investor receives a
credit equal to five percent of the total
amount paid for the stock or capital
interest at the time of purchase. For the
final four years, the value of the credit
is six percent annually. Investors may
not redeem their investments in CDEs
prior to the conclusion of the seven-year
period without forfeiting any credit
amounts they have received.
The CDFI Fund is responsible for
certifying organizations as CDEs, and
administering the competitive allocation
of tax credit authority to CDEs, which it
does through annual allocation rounds.
As part of the award selection process,
CDEs will be required to prepare and
submit an Application, which will
include five key sections—Business
Strategy; Community Outcomes;
Management Capacity; Capitalization
Strategy; and Information Regarding
Prior Awards. The CDFI Fund will
conduct the substantive review of each
application in two parts (Phase 1 and
Phase 2), as defined in a Notice of
Allocation Availability for each round.
In Phase 1, the application will be
evaluated by reviewers to generate
scores for the Business Strategy and
Community Outcomes sections plus
statutory priority points. The scores will
be used to determine a rank-order list of
the most highly-qualified CDEs. In
Phase 2, the CDFI Fund will evaluate
the entire application of each highlyqualified, highly-ranked CDE.
