TIC D Form and Instructions

 
 
Current Form D and Instructions (NEW, 12-20-2022, one change in the Form) that are in Effect for reports as-of December 2022 and afterwards.
  • (NEW, 12-20-2022, one change) Form D (in Effect for reports as-of December 2022 and thereafter) Holdings of, and Transactions in, Financial Derivatives. (The only change from the previous version, that was in effect for reports as-of December 2013 through September 2022, is the name change from Swaziland to Eswatini in the country list for Africa.)
    • On 12-20-2022, one change is made in the Country List on the Form: the name “Swaziland” is changed to “Eswatini”. The TIC country code is unchanged because this is just a name change. This revision applies to all TIC reporting forms. This revision is effective for quarterly reports as-of December 2022 and afterwards. [FYI: Previously, “Swaziland” was before Tanzania in the country list for Africa; now “Eswatini” is before Ethiopia in the county list for Africa.]
  • Instructions for Form D, effective January 2019 and afterwards.
    • A clarification in section IV.A “Specific Instructions for Part 1/over-the-counter contracts”, specifies that a central counterparty clearing house (CCP) is not considered an organized exchange for purposes of the TIC D report.
    • Other changes: (1) “Intermediate holding companies (IHCs)” are listed in section I.C “Who Must Report/consolidation”. The listing formalizes the reporting change that was effective beginning January 1, 2015, under Regulation YY, 12 CFR 252. (2) The glossary items are moved to the separate consolidated TIC Glossary document that is available on the Treasury website; the new appendix E contains a link to the TIC Glossary. (3) Updated are: (a) section I.E “where to report”; (b) some internet links; (c) some page numbers; and (d) descriptions of “other statistical reports” in section I.B.
