the auspices of the International

Monetary Fund to improve data on

securities worldwide. These data are

believed to be in serious error on a

worldwide basis. Most of the major

industrial and financial countries will

be participating in this survey.

Current Actions: Data will be

collected on short-term securities as

well as long-term securities to conform

to IMF survey standards. The exemption

level for reporting will be raised from

$20 million to $50 million of holdings

by U.S. residents of foreign securities.

Financial derivatives will be excluded.

The exchange rate item will be replaced

with requests for some items valued

both in U.S. dollars and in foreign

currency to improve data quality

without significantly increasing

respondent burden. The forms and

instructions will be restructured to

improve clarity. Data will be collected

primarily from custodians of securities,

and from major investors if they do not

employ U.S. custodians. Investors

employing U.S. custodians need only

identify their custodians and the

amounts entrusted to them.

Type of Review: Reinstatement with

change.

Affected Public: Business/Financial

Institutions.

Forms: OMB No. 1505–0146,

Schedule 1, Schedule 2, and Schedule

3.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2,360.

Estimated Time per Respondent: 384

hours on average for custodians of

securities providing detailed

information, 104 hours on average for

end-investors providing detailed

information, 40 hours on average for

reporters employing U.S. custodians,

and 16 hours on average for reporters

claiming exemptions. Custodians with

less than $50 million foreign long-term

securities are exempt from reporting on

the survey. The amount of time required

to complete the survey will vary

depending on the amount of data to

report.

Estimated Total Burden: 108,300

hours.

Frequency of Response: At least once

every three years.

Abstract: VA Form 40–4970 allows a

granted when all immediate family

members of the decedent, including the

person who initiated the interment, give

their written consent. An order from a

court of local jurisdiction can be

accepted in lieu of submitting VA form

40–4970.

An agency may not conduct or
