SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA 

received a special permit request from 

Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC (REX), a 

subsidiary Tallgrass Energy, on January 

8, 2024, seeking a special permit to 

deviate from the Federal pipeline safety 

regulations in 49 CFR 192.179(a)(4), 

which requires transmission line valves 

to be placed no further than 10 miles 

apart in a Class 1 location. The special 

permit request is for a single segment 

where the valves are spaced 20.35 miles 

apart, exceeding the valve spacing 

requirement by 924 feet. 

The proposed special permit would 

allow REX to continue to operate the 

single 20.35-mile segment of 42-inch 

diameter gas transmission pipeline 

without modifying the valve location. 

The 20.35-mile segment is in a Class 1 

location in Monroe and Belmont 

Counties, Ohio. 

The special permit request, proposed 

special permit with conditions, and 

Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA)/ 

FONSI for the above listed REX pipeline 

segment are available for review and 

public comments in Docket Number 

PHMSA 2024–0011. PHMSA invites 

interested persons to review and submit 

comments on the special permit request 

and DEA/FONSI in the docket. Please 

submit comments on any potential 

safety, environmental, and other 

relevant considerations implicated by 

the special permit request. Comments 

may include relevant data. 

Before issuing a decision on the 

special permit request, PHMSA will 

evaluate all comments received on or 

before the comments closing date. 

Comments received after the closing 

date will be evaluated if it is possible to 

do so without incurring additional 

expense or delay. PHMSA will consider 

each relevant comment it receives in 

making its decision to grant or deny this 

special permit request. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 23, 

2024, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 

1.97. 

Alan K. Mayberry, 

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.

Title: Treasury International Capital 

Form SHL/SHLA, ‘‘Survey of ForeignResidents’ Holdings of U.S. Securities, 

including Selected Money Market 

Instruments’’. 

OMB Control Number: 1505–0123. 

Abstract: Form SHL/SHLA is part of 

the Treasury International Capital (TIC) 

reporting system, which is required by 

law (22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.; E.O. 11961;

annual surveys of foreign-residents’

investment purposes. This information 

is used by the U.S. Government in the 

formulation of international financial 

and monetary policies and for the 

preparation of the U.S. balance of

The data collection includes large 

benchmark surveys (Form SHL) 

conducted every five years, and smaller 

annual surveys (Form SHLA) conducted 

in the non-benchmark years. The data 

collected under an annual survey are 

used in conjunction with the results of 

the preceding benchmark survey and of 

recent reporting on TIC form SLT 

(‘‘Aggregate Holdings, Purchases and 

Sales, and Fair Value Changes of LongTerm Securities by U.S. and Foreign 

Residents’’) to make economy-wide 

estimates for that non-benchmark year. 

Currently, the determination of who 

must report in the annual surveys is 

based primarily on the data submitted 

during the preceding benchmark survey 

and on data submitted on SLT reporting. 

The data requested in the annual survey 

will generally be the same as requested 

in the preceding benchmark report. 

Form SHL is used for the benchmark 

survey of all significant U.S.-resident 

custodians and U.S.-resident issuers of 

securities regarding foreign-residents’ 

holdings of U.S. securities. In nonbenchmark years, Form SHLA is used 

for the annual surveys of primarily the 

largest U.S.-resident custodians and 

issuers. 

Current Actions: No changes in the 

forms (schedules) are being proposed at 

this time. Some minor changes in the 

instructions are being proposed, 

primarily to include clarifications 

requested by respondents during their 

reporting for the 2022 and 2023 surveys. 

No changes in the forms (schedules) are 

being proposed at this time. Some minor 

changes in the instructions are being 

proposed, primarily to include 

clarifications requested by respondents 

during their reporting for the 2022 and 

2023 surveys. The minor changes 

include: (1) necessary updates in the 

cover page, contact information, dates, 

links to information, and Appendix E, 

List of Currency Codes; (2) clarifications 

about the handling of securities 

involved in repurchase and securities 

lending arrangements in (i) the second 

paragraph of section III; in (ii) section 

III.B; and in (iii) section III.F; (3) 

clarifications about the security types 

mentioned in the form, such as in the 

beginning of section III.E and in item 12 

of section V.B, where Type 4 is 

specified to include limited partners 

(‘‘LPs’’) and similar companies that do 

not meet the definition of funds; and (5) 

numerous other clarifications achieved 

through rewording and format changes 

to improve the instructions. 

Type of Review: Extension, with 

minor changes, of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Form: SHL/SHLA, Schedules 1 and 2 

(1505–0123). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

An annual average (over five years) of 

317, but this varies widely from about 

840 in benchmark years (once every five 

years) to about 185 in other years (four 

out of every five years). 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: An annual average (over 

five years) of about 133 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, it is 

estimated that the largest custodians of 

securities will require 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. The 

exemption level for custodians and for 

end-investors, that applies only in 

benchmark years, is the holding of less 

than $200 million in reportable U.S. 

securities owned by foreign residents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: An annual average (over five 

years) of 42,035 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, inter alia: (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.
