This would seem to be confirmed by the statements of the Fed's Quarles on Friday here:
The figure illustrates that the Fed's securities holdings are projected to decline about $400 billion this year and another $460 billion next year as Treasury and agency securities continue to roll off gradually from the Fed's portfolio.
So $400B at an annual rate is about $33B/month which is faster than what they have been doing since they started to reduce in October which has been about $12B/month.
