Claims of Depository Institutions, Bank Holding Companies/Financial Holding Companies, Brokers, and Dealers on Foreigners; TIC BL-1 Monthly Report of U.S. Dollar Liabilities of Depository Institutions, Bank Holding Companies/Financial Holding Companies, Brokers, and Dealers to Foreign Residents; TIC BL-2 Monthly Report of Customers U.S. Dollar Liabilities to Foreigners; TIC BQ-1 Quarterly Report of Customers U.S. Dollar Claims on Foreigners; TIC BQ-2 Part 1: Quarterly Report of Foreign Currency Liabilities and Claims of Depository Institutions, Bank Holding Companies/Financial Holding Companies, Brokers and Dealers, and of Their Domestic Customers Visa-A-Vis Foreigners and Part 2: the Report of Customers Foreign Currency Liabilities to Foreigners; and TIC BQ-3 Quarterly Report of Maturities of Selected Liabilities of Depository Institutions, Bank Holding Companies/Financial Holding Companies, Brokers, and Dealers to Foreigners. OMB Numbers: 1505-0017 (TIC BC), 1505-0019 (TIC BL-1), 1505-0018 (TIC BL-2), 1505-0016 (TIC BQ-1), 1505-0020 (TIC BQ-2), and 1505-0189 (TIC BQ-3). Abstract: Forms BC, BL-1, BL-2, BQ-1, BQ-2, BQ-3 are 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 C.F.R. 128) and are designed to collect timely information on international portfolio capital movements. These forms are filed by all U.S.- resident banks, other depository institutions, brokers and dealers, and Bank Holding Companies/Financial Holding Companies (BHC/FHC). On the monthly forms, these organizations report their own claims on (BC), their own liabilities to (BL-1), and their U.S. customers liabilities to (BL-2) foreign residents, denominated in U.S. dollars. On the quarterly forms, these organizations report their U.S.- resident customers U.S. dollar claims on foreign residents (BQ-1), and their own and their

domestic customers claims and liabilities with foreign residents, where all claims and liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies (BQ-2). On the quarterly BQ-3 form, these organizations report the remaining maturities of all their own U.S. dollar and foreign currency liabilities (excluding securities) to foreign residents. This information is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of payments accounts and the U.S. international investment position, and for use in formulating U.S. international financial and monetary policies. Current Actions: As a consequence of the recent global financial crisis, international reporting standards for collecting and reporting economic and financial data have been enhanced, especially regarding each country s external claims and liabilities. TIC forms are consequently revised to reflect the new standards. Provided below is a list of the revisions to reporting forms and instructions, effective beginning with reports as of June 30, 2013. The following changes apply to all TIC B forms (a) The who must report section of the instructions is revised. Beginning with the reports as of June 30, 2013, the organizations required to file the TIC B forms will include all types of U.S.- resident financial institutions (including, but not limited to banks, other depository institutions, brokers/dealers, bank/financial holding companies, investment banks, insurance companies, credit card issuers, money market funds, pension funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, trusts, finance companies, mortgage companies, commodity brokers and dealers, investment advisors and managers, loan brokers). More specifically, all financial institutions that previously filed TIC C forms (form CQ-1 and form CQ-2) will file TIC B forms beginning with the reports as of June 30, 2013. Those financial institutions changing from filing the TIC C forms to filing the TIC B forms will

not be required to file the TIC C forms after the reports as of May 31, 2013. This change affecting many U.S.-resident financial institutions, from reporting on the TIC C forms to reporting on the TIC B forms, is designed to improve the coverage of international financial transactions and positions in the U.S. balance of payments and in the U.S. international investment position, and reflects the change in the international statistical standards to include in portfolio investment (PI) most international positions between financial institutions. All financial transactions and positions between U.S. residents and foreign residents are either PI or direct investment (DI), and all organizations with such positions (above the amounts declared exempt in the reporting instructions), must report them to either the TIC (which collects PI information) or BEA ( which collects DI information). (b) The instructions for these forms have been updated to add guidance for reporting on the new of which rows described in (g) through (l) below and the new section and columns described in (l). (c) The General Instructions have been reorganized and contain new guidance on reporting accrued interest and insurance/reinsurance business, and on where to report. (d) Several sections of the instructions, including the glossary, incorporate changes to clarify the reporting requirements, such as the consolidation/combination rules, valuation rules, and reporting the location of foreign counterparties. (e) Except for the TIC BQ-3, the list of countries for reporting the location of foreign counterparties will be increased by six. This is the result of deleting Netherlands Antilles (3720-6), removing Montenegro from Serbia and Montenegro (1321-8), and adding Kosovo (1347-1), Montenegro (1362-5), Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (3616-1),

Curaçao (3618-8), St. Martin and St. Barthelemy (3647-1), Sint Maarten (3619-6), and South Sudan (5339-2).
