reporting system, which is required by 

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

31 CFR 129) and is used to conduct 

annual surveys of U.S. residents’ 

ownership of foreign securities for 

portfolio 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 payments accounts and 

the U.S. international investment 

position. This information is also used 

to provide information to the public and 

to meet international reporting 

commitments. The SHC/SHCA survey 

contributes to an internationally 

coordinated effort under the auspices of 

the International Monetary Fund (IMF) 

to improve data on securities 

worldwide. More than 80 countries 

participate in the annual IMF 

Coordinated Portfolio Investment 

Survey. 

The data collection includes large 

benchmark surveys (Form SHC) 

conducted every five years, and smaller 

annual surveys (Form SHCA) 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 non-benchmark years. 

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 reports 

in the survey year. The data requested 

in the annual survey will generally be 

the same as requested in the preceding 

benchmark report. Form SHC is used for 

the benchmark survey of all significant 

U.S.-resident custodians and endinvestors regarding U.S. ownership of 

foreign securities. In non-benchmark 

years Form SHCA is used for the annual 

surveys of primarily the very largest 

U.S.-resident custodians and endinvestors. 

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. 

The minor changes include: (1) 

necessary updates in the 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) 

section II.B; in (ii) the second paragraph 

of section III; and in (iii) the description 

of ‘‘Securities . . . temporarily received 

as collateral’’ in section III.B; (3) the 

clarification in item 6 of section IV.B 

that ISIN codes are strongly preferred; 

(4) clarifications about the security 

types mentioned in the form, such as in 

the beginning of section III.C and in 

item 12 of section IV.B, where Type 4 

is specified to include limited partners 

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

not meet the definition of funds; (5) the 

addition of ‘‘Annuities’’ in section III.B, 

Do Not Report; and (6) 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: SHC/SHCA, Schedules 1, 2 and 

3 (1505–0146). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

An annual average (over five years) of 

324, but this varies widely from about 

760 in benchmark years (once every five 

years) to about 215 in other years (four 

out of every five years). 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: An annual average (over 

five years) of about 200 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, it is 

estimated that 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; end-investors 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 for custodians and for endinvestors, that applies only in 

benchmark years when filing schedules 

2 or 3 or both, is the holding of less than 

$200 million in reportable foreign 

securities owned by U.S. residents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: An annual average (over five 

years) of 64,700 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; (e) estimates of 

capital or start-up costs of operation, 

maintenance and purchase of services to 

provide the information requested.

at 31 CFR 1010.310 through 1010.314, 

1021.311, and 1021.313. The Money 

Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 

amended the BSA to create certain 

mandatory exemptions applicable to 

banks from the requirement for financial 

institutions to file currency transaction 

reports (CTRs), and to give the Secretary 

authority to create additional such 

exemptions. Regulations implementing 

this exemption authority, including by 

requiring the collection of information 

on FinCEN Form 110, Designation of 

Exempt Person (DOEP Report), are 

found at 31 CFR 1020.315.

FinCEN issued regulations, under 

separate statutory authority codified at 

31 U.S.C. 5318(a)(2), requiring casinos 

to develop and implement written BSA 

compliance programs. FinCEN 

subsequently amended those regulations 

after passage of the USA PATRIOT Act 

to state that a casino would be ‘‘deemed 

to satisfy the requirements of 31 U.S.C. 

5318(h)(1) if it implements and 

maintains’’ an AML program, as

of credit needs to apply for a taxpayer 

identification or social security number. 

For non-resident aliens, a dealer in 

foreign exchange is required to record 

the person’s passport number or a

PRASearch. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The information collection 

includes several forms, as well as a 

review and appeal process, which are 

used to administer the Civilian Health 

And Medical Program of the Department 

of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). The 

collection is revised to include an 

increase in burden hours based on 

program data that reflects an increase in 

claim submissions, OHI forms, appeals 

and clinical reviews due to increased 

enrollment. The collection also includes 

a portal for submission of the 

information in the 10–10d program 

application form, which is expected to 

be completed by the end of calendar 

year 2024. This portal will allow 

applicants to complete and submit VA 

Form 10–10d electronically rather than 

by submission of a hard copy form, 

which has been the standard application 

process prior to technological 

advancement allowing electronic 

submission and processing. This portal 

represents a separate avenue for 

applicants to submit VA Form 10–10d; 

however, it does not affect the burden 

of collection for applicants or VA.

Miscellaneous Expenses 

Review and Appeal Process 

Clinical Review 

a. VA Form 10–10d, Application for 

CHAMPVA Benefits, is used to 

determine eligibility of persons 

applying for healthcare benefits under 

the CHAMPVA program in accordance 

with 38 U.S.C. 501 and 1781. 

b. VA Form 10–7959a, CHAMPVA 

Claim Form, is used to adjudicate 

claims for CHAMPVA benefits in 

accordance with 38 U.S.C. 501 and 

1781, and 10 U.S.C. 1079 and 1086. This 

information is required for accurate 

adjudication and processing of 

beneficiary submitted claims. The claim 

form is also instrumental in the 

detection and prosecution of fraud. In 

addition, the claim form is the only 

mechanism to obtain, on an interim 

basis, other health insurance (OHI) 

information. 

c. VA Form 10–7959c, CHAMPVA 

Other Health Insurance (OHI) 

Certification, is used to systematically 

obtain OHI information and to correctly 

coordinate benefits among all liable 

parties. Except for Medicaid and health 

insurance policies that are purchased 

exclusively for the purpose of 

supplementing CHAMPVA benefits, 

CHAMPVA is always the secondary 

payer of healthcare benefits (38 U.S.C. 

501 and 1781, and 10 U.S.C. 1086).
