22634 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 13, 2009 / Notices 

annual survey (Form SHCA) requires 

reports generally from only the very 

largest U.S.-resident custodians and 

end-investors. The data requested in 

Form SHCA will generally be the same 

as in the preceding benchmark report. 

The determination of who must report 

in the annual surveys (Form SHCA) is 

based primarily on the data submitted 

during the preceding benchmark survey. 

The data collected under the annual 

surveys (SHCA) will be used in 

conjunction with the results of the 

preceding benchmark survey to make 

economy-wide estimates for the nonbenchmark years. 

Current Actions: None. No changes in 

the forms or in the instructions will be 

made from the previous survey that was 

conducted as of December 31, 2008. 

[Note that some clarifications may be 

made in the instructions as a result of 

discussions with respondents.] 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved data collection. 

Affected Public: Business/Financial 

Institutions. 

Forms: TDF SHC, Schedules 1, 2 and 

3 (1505–0146); TDF SHCA, Schedules 1, 

2 and 3 (1505–0146). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

An annual average (over five years) of 

395, but this varies widely from about 

1,200 in benchmark years (once every 

five years) to about 195 in other years 

(four out of every five years). 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: An annual average (over 

five years) of about 142 hours, but this 

will vary widely from respondent to 

respondent. (a) In the year of a 

benchmark survey (using Form SHC), 

i.e., once every five years, it is estimated 

that exempt respondents will require an 

average of 16 hours; custodians of 

securities providing security-by-security 

information will require an average of 

360 hours, but this figure will vary 

widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security 

information will require an average of 

120 hours; and end-investors and 

custodians employing U.S. custodians 

will require an average of 40 hours. (b) 

In a non-benchmark year (using Form 

SHCA), i.e., four years out of every five 

years, custodians of securities providing 

security-by-security information will 

require an average of 700 hours (because 

only the largest U.S.-resident custodians 

will report), but this figure will vary 

widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security 

information will require an average of 

145 hours; and reporters entrusting their 

foreign securities to U.S. custodians will 

require an average of 48 hours. 

The exemption level, which applies 

only in benchmark years, for custodians 

is the holding of less than $100 million 

in foreign securities and for endinvestors the owning of less than $100 

million in foreign securities with a 

single custodian. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Annual average (over five years) 

of 56,080 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual.

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

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 recordkeeping 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.
