SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Treasury International Capital Form D, Report of Holdings 
of, and Transactions in, Financial Derivatives Contracts with Foreign 
Residents.
    OMB Control Number: 1505-0199.
    Abstract: Form D is part of the Treasury International Capital

U.S.C. 3103; E.O. 10033; 31 CFR part 128) for the purpose of providing 
timely information on international capital movements other than direct 
investment by U.S. persons. Form D is a quarterly report used to cover 
holdings and transactions in derivatives contracts undertaken between 
foreign resident counterparties and major U.S.-resident participants in 
derivatives markets. This information is necessary for compiling the 
U.S. balance of payments accounts and international investment 
position, and for formulating U.S. international financial and monetary 
policies.
    Current Actions: No changes are proposed at this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved data collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations.
    Form: D (1505-0199).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 35.
    Estimated Average Time per Respondent: Thirty (30) hours per 
respondent per filing.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,200 hours, based on 4 
reporting periods per year.
    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: (a) Whether Form D is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the Office, including whether the information 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; and (e) estimates
