Abstract:
The survey collects information on U.S. holdings of foreign securities. The information is used in the computation of the U.S. balance of payments accounts and international investments position, as well as in the formulation of U.S. financial and monetary policies. This survey is also part of an international effort coordinated by the IMF to improve worldwide balance of payments statistics. Respondents are primarily the largest custodians of securities, banks, securities dealers, and investors.

Short Statement:
There will be a decrease in total burden hours to 64,146 as compared to the estimate of 64,700 currently carried in OMB's Information Collection Inventory. There will be an increase in the total number of responses to 457 as compared to the estimate of 437 currently carried in OMB's Information Collection Inventory. The total overall decrease of 554 burden hours and the total overall increase of 20 responses is due solely to an estimated net increase of 12 data reporters that has occurred naturally since 2021. Those changes in the average figures above resulted from the following changes for the SHC and SHCA. The SHC saw a net decrease of 5 respondents, -23 responses and -1,975 burden hours, while the SHCA saw a net increase of 16 respondents, +30 responses, and -198 burden hours.
