Survey of Foreign Ownership of U.S.
Securities as of June 30, 2019
Departmental Offices,
Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of reporting
requirements.
AGENCY:
By this Notice, the
Department of the Treasury is informing
the public that it is conducting a
mandatory survey of foreign ownership
of U.S. securities as of June 30, 2019.
This mandatory survey is conducted
under the authority of the International
Investment and Trade in Services
Survey Act. This Notice constitutes
legal notification to all United States
persons (defined below) who meet the
reporting requirements set forth in this
Notice that they must respond to, and
comply with, this survey. Additional
copies of the reporting forms SHL (2019)
and instructions may be printed from
the internet at: https://www.treasury.gov/
resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/
Pages/forms-sh.aspx
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 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

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
firm—is $100 million or more as of June
30, 2019.
(2) U.S. persons who issue securities,
if the total market value of their
securities owned directly by foreign

issued by all U.S. subsidiaries and
affiliates of the firm, including
investment companies, trusts, and other
legal entities created by the firm—is
$100 million or more as of June 30,
2019. U.S. issuers should report only
foreign holdings of their securities
which are directly held for foreign
residents, i.e., where no U.S.-resident
custodian or central securities
depository is used. Securities held by
U.S. nominees, such as bank or broker
custody departments, should be
considered to be U.S.-held securities as
far as the issuer is concerned.
(3) U.S. persons who receive a letter
from the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York that requires the recipient of the
letter to file Schedule 1, even if the
recipient is under the exemption level
of $100 million and need only report
‘‘exempt’’ on Schedule 1.
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.

complete information on reporting

collection of information unless it
displays a valid control number
assigned by OMB. The estimated
average annual burden associated with

hours per report for custodians of
securities (the burden varies widely and
we estimate 486 hours for the largest
custodians), 61 hours per report for
issuers of securities that have data to
report and are not custodians (we
estimate 110 hours for the largest
issuers), and 17 hours per report for
those who file as exempt in a
benchmark survey. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden
estimate and suggestions for reducing
this burden should be directed to the
