country shall report such relationship to 

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue 

for each year in which such relationship 

exists and shall provide such 

information as shall be specified in a 

reporting form prescribed under 31 

U.S.C. 5314 to be filed by such persons. 

This information will be provided on 

the FinCEN Form 114. Records of 

accounts required by § 1010.350 to be 

reported shall be retained by each 

person having a financial interest in or 

signature or other authority over any 

such account. Such records shall be 

retained for a period of 5 years and shall 

be kept at all times available for 

inspection as authorized by law.

Burden: 

• Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,090,774.5

• Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,090,774. 

• Estimated Average Annual Burden 

Per Response: The estimated average 

burden associated with the 

recordkeeping requirements in the rules 

will vary depending on the number of 

reportable accounts. We estimate that 

the recordkeeping burden will range 

from five minutes to sixty minutes, and 

that the average burden will be 30 

minutes. The estimated average burden 

associated with the reporting 

requirement (i.e., FBAR form 

completion) will also vary depending on 

the number of reportable accounts and 

whether the filer will be able to take 

advantage of the exceptions provided in 

the rule. We estimate that the average 

reporting burden will range from 

approximately 15 minutes to 50 minutes 

and that the average reporting burden 

will be approximately 30 minutes. The 

estimated total annual recordkeeping 

and reporting burden per response will 

be 1 hour. 

• Estimated Total Annual 

Respondent Burden: 1,090,774 hours 

(one hour per report). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Records required to be retained under 

the BSA must be retained for five years. 

Generally, information collected 

pursuant to the BSA is confidential but 

may be shared as provided by law with 

regulatory and law enforcement 

authorities. 

Request for Comments: Comments
