                notification to all United States persons (defined below) who meet the
                reporting requirements set forth in this Notice that they must respond
                to, and comply with, this survey. Additional copies of the reporting

                the level of foreign resident holdings of U.S. securities reported on
                the June 2019 benchmark survey of foreign resident holdings of U.S.
                securities, and on the Aggregate Holdings of Long-Term Securities by
                U.S. and Foreign Residents (TIC SLT) report as of December 2019, and
                will consist mostly of the largest reporters. Entities required to
                report will be contacted individually by the Federal Reserve Bank of
                New York. Entities not contacted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
                York have no reporting responsibilities.
