Management and Budget. The Office of 

International Affairs of the Department 

of the Treasury is soliciting comments

Capital Form S, Purchases and Sales of 

Long-term Securities by Foreigners. The 

Current Actions below clarify the 

instructions and improve the column

to be assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Treasury International Capital 

Form S, Purchases and Sales of Longterm Securities by Foreigners. 

OMB Control Number: 1505–0001. 

Abstract: Form S is part of the 

Treasury International Capital (TIC) 

reporting system, which is required by 

law (22 U.S.C. 286f; 22 U.S.C. 3103; E.O. 

10033; 31 CFR 128), and is designed to 

collect timely information on 

international portfolio capital 

movements. Form S is a monthly report 

used to cover transactions in long-term 

marketable securities undertaken 

directly with foreigners by banks, other 

depository institutions, brokers, dealers, 

underwriting groups, funds and other 

individuals and institutions. This 

information will be 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. 

Current Actions: (a) In the title for 

columns 7 and 8, the word STOCKS 

will be replaced by U.S. EQUITY; and 

in the title for columns 11 and 12, the 

words FOREIGN STOCKS will be 

replaced by FOREIGN EQUITY. The 

purpose of this action is to clarify the 

type of data collected in columns 7, 8, 

11 and 12 of the form. There is no 

change in the reporting requirements; 

for example the column-by-column 

instructions for those four columns 

already use the term ‘‘equity’’. This 

action also makes the terms on the Form 

S more consistent with the terms on 

other TIC forms that report data on 

securities, including the annual reports. 

This action will not affect the reporting 

burden of the Form S; (b) In the title of 

columns 5 and 6, ‘‘U.S.’’ will be inserted 

at the beginning so the title reads ‘‘U.S. 

CORPORATE AND OTHER BONDS’’. 

This action will clarify the type of data 

collected and will neither change the 

reporting requirements nor affect the 

reporting burden; (c) The unnecessary 

word ‘‘foreign’’ will be deleted from the 

titles of columns 7 and 8 in the 

Memorandum section on the last page of 

the form. That action will bring those 

two titles into conformity with the other 

column-pairs in the form; (d) The 

instructions will be revised by 

expanding and clarifying the old section 

called Determining Residency. The 

revised section is called ‘‘Reporting the 

Location of Foreign Counterparties’’ in 

the General Instructions. The revised 

language is consistent with the same 

guidance in other TIC reports; (e) The 

instructions will be revised by 

expanding and clarifying the section on 

REPORTING OF FUND SHARES (in the 

Reportable Items section of the General 

Instructions). The revised language 

includes examples and is consistent 

with the same guidance in other TIC 

reports; (f) The instructions (the 

Reportable Items section of the General 

Instructions) will be revised in 

accordance with (a) above so that any 

instruction to record data in the 

columns for ‘‘stocks’’ is changed to an 

instruction to record data in the column 

for ‘‘equities’’; (g) The instructions (the 

Other Statistical Reports section of the 

Introduction) will be revised by adding 

a paragraph on the proposed new SLT 

form; (h) The instructions will be 

revised so that the sections in the 

Introduction and the General 

Instructions are arranged to be more 

consistent with the organization of the 

instructions of other TIC reports; 

(i) These changes will be effective 

beginning with the reports as of March 

31, 2011. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Form S (1505– 

0001) 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

254. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: Six hours per respondent 

per filing. This estimate includes 0.4 

hours for the Current Actions proposed 

above. The estimated average time per 

respondent varies from 10.8 hours for 

the approximately 30 major reporters to 

5.4 hours for the other reporters. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 18,400 hours, based on 12 

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 S 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 of capital 

or start-up costs of operation, 

maintenance and purchase of services to 

provide information.
