Change of Bank Secrecy Act 

Regulations Requiring Reports of 

Certain Domestic Transactions 

AGENCY: Financial Crimes Enforcement 

Network (FinCEN), Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, FinCEN invites comments on 

the proposed renewal, without change, 

of a currently approved information 

collection found in existing Bank 

Secrecy Act regulations. Specifically, if 

the Secretary of the Treasury finds that 

reasonable grounds exist for concluding 

that additional recordkeeping and/or 

reporting requirements are necessary to 

carry out the purposes of Bank Secrecy 

Act, or prevent evasion thereof, the 

Secretary may issue an order that 

imposes certain additional 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements on one or more domestic 

financial institutions or nonfinancial 

trades or businesses in a geographic 

area. This request for comments is made 

pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

DATES: Written comments are welcome, 

and must be received on or before 

February 22, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal E-rulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Refer to Docket Number FINCEN–2020– 

0019 and the specific Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number 1506–0056. 

• Mail: Policy Division, Financial 

Crimes Enforcement Network, P.O. Box 

39, Vienna, VA 22183. Refer to Docket 

Number FINCEN–2020–0019 and OMB 

control number 1506–0056. 

Please submit comments by one 

method only. Comments will also be 

incorporated into FinCEN’s review of 

existing regulations, as provided by 

Treasury’s 2011 Plan for Retrospective 

Analysis of Existing Rules. Comments 

will generally become a matter of public 

record. For this reason, please do not 

include in your comments information 

of a confidential nature, such as 

sensitive personal information or 

proprietary information. Given the 

nature of GTOs and their law 

enforcement purposes, any information 

that concerns confidential matters 

involving specific GTOs should be 

marked ‘confidential’ and include the 

specific name of the GTO..

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Statutory and Regulatory Provisions 

The legislative framework generally 

referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act 

(BSA) consists of the Currency and 

Financial Transactions Reporting Act of 

1970, as amended by the Uniting and 

Strengthening America by Providing 

Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept 

and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 

(USA PATRIOT Act) (Public Law 107– 

56) and other legislation. The BSA is 

codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C. 

1951–1959, 31 U.S.C. 5311–5314 and 

5316–5332, and notes thereto, with 

implementing regulations at 31 CFR 

Chapter X. 

The BSA authorizes the Secretary of 

the Treasury, inter alia, to require 

financial institutions to keep records 

and file reports that are determined to 

have a high degree of usefulness in 

criminal, tax, and regulatory matters, or 

in the conduct of intelligence or 

counter-intelligence activities to protect 

against international terrorism, and to 

implement anti-money laundering 

(AML) programs and compliance 

procedures.1 Regulations implementing 

the BSA appear at 31 CFR Chapter X. 

The authority of the Secretary to 

administer the BSA has been delegated 

to the Director of FinCEN.2

Congress amended the BSA in 1988 to 

give the Secretary the authority to issue 

orders under 31 U.S.C. 5326 by passing 

Public Law 100–690, Title VI, § 6185(c). 

This provision was later amended to 

permit issuance of confidential orders, 

lengthen the effective period of orders to 

180 days, cover transactions involving 

transfers of funds, and to clarify that 

orders can be issued upon reasonable 

grounds for concluding that additional 

requirements are necessary to carry out 

the purposes of the subtitle of which 31 

U.S.C. 5326 is a part, or to prevent 

evasions thereof. See Public Law 102– 

550, Title XV, § 1514; Public Law 107– 

56, 353(d); Public Law 115–44, 275. 

Under 31 U.S.C. 5326(a), if the 

Secretary finds that reasonable grounds 

exist for concluding that additional 

recordkeeping and reporting are 

necessary to carry out the purpose of the 

BSA or to prevent evasions thereof, the 

Secretary may issue an order requiring 

any domestic financial institution or 

nonfinancial trade or business or group 

of domestic financial institutions or 

nonfinancial trades or businesses in a 

geographic area to obtain such 

information as the Secretary may 

describe in such order concerning 

certain transactions. 

The authority set forth in 31 U.S.C. 

5326 to impose reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements is selfimplementing.3 Section 5326(a) 

generally requires domestic financial 

institutions or nonfinancial trades or 

businesses in a geographic area that 

receive an order to report, in the manner 

and to the extent specified in an order, 

information concerning any transaction 

in which such financial institution or 

nonfinancial trade or business is 

involved for the payment, receipt, or 

transfer of funds (as the Secretary may 

describe in such order). An order 

typically will include the following 

terms: (i) The dollar amount of
