https://www.fincen.gov/resources/statutesregulations/administrative-rulings. 

5Public Law 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 

6 In 2018, 2019, and 2020, FinCEN received a 

total of 98 administrative ruling requests. 

7When this OMB control number was last 

renewed in 2017, FinCEN estimated the total 

burden per requestor to draft and submit an 

administrative ruling request was two hours per 

requestor. 

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA) 5

Title: Administrative rulings 

regulations (Subpart G—31 CFR 

1010.710 through 31 CFR 1010.717). 

OMB Control Number: 1506–0050. 

Report Number: Not applicable. 

Abstract: FinCEN is issuing this 

notice to renew the OMB control 

number for the administrative rulings 

regulations. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit institutions, non-profit 

institutions, and individuals. 

Type of Review: Renewal without 

change of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Frequency: As required. 

Estimated Number of Requests 

Annually: 33 requests.6

Estimated Recordkeeping Burden: 

FinCEN receives approximately 33 

administrative ruling requests per year. 

FinCEN continues to estimate that it 

takes a requestor approximately two 

hours to draft and submit an 

administrative rule request to FinCEN.7

This results in an estimated total annual 

burden of 66 hours (33 administrative 

ruling requests multiplied by two hours 

per request). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Records required to be retained under 

the BSA must be retained for five years. 

III. General Request for Comments 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a
