Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent 

investigation) cannot be made before the 

exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any 

request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National 

Credit Union Administration, Office of the 

Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift 

Supervision. 

Provided no formal expression of

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on May 1, 

2009, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do

is void ab initio. 

CMRY has filed environmental and 

historic reports, which addresses the 

effects, if any, of the abandonment on 

the environment and historic resources. 

SEA will issue an environmental 

assessment (EA) by April 6, 2009. 

Interested persons may obtain a copy of 

the EA by writing to SEA (Room 1100,

matters must be filed within 15 days 

after the EA becomes available to the 

public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), CMRY shall file a notice 

of consummation with the Board to 

signify that it has exercised the 

authority granted and fully abandoned 

the line. If consummation has not been 

effected by CMRY’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by April 1, 2010, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.

2The form being renewed was approved by OMB 

effective June 30, 2007. On May 1, 2007, FinCEN 

published a Federal Register notice (72 FR 23891) 

(http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/frn/pdf/ 

sar_fr_notice.pdf) announcing the delayed 

implementation of the revised Suspicious Activity 

Report (SAR) forms. The revised SAR forms that 

support joint filings were originally scheduled to 

become effective on June 30, 2007 and mandatory 

on December 31, 2007. The delay in 

implementation does not impact ongoing 

suspicious activity reporting. Filers should 

continue to use the July 2003 form until further 

notice (http://www.fincen.gov/forms/files/f9022– 

47_sar-di.pdf). FinCEN will establish new dates for 

using the revised SAR forms in a future notice. 

Depository institutions will be provided ample lead 

time to incorporate the approved version. 

3Respondents comprise many of the same 

institutions responding to the Supervisory 

Agencies. 

4Only one form is filed in satisfaction of the rules 

of both FinCEN and the banking supervisory 

agencies. The estimated burden per form is 60 

minutes; the hourly burden does not attempt to 

allocate that time between agencies when the form 

is filed in satisfaction of the rules of more than one 

agency.

Abstract: In 1985, the Banking 

Supervisory Agencies issued procedures 

to be used by banks and certain other 

financial institutions operating in the 

United States to report known or 

suspected criminal activities to the 

appropriate law enforcement and 

Banking Supervisory Agencies. 

Beginning in 1994, the Banking 

Supervisory Agencies and the FinCEN 

redesigned the reporting process 

resulting in the Suspicious Activity 

Report, which became effective in April 

1996. The report is authorized by the 

following regulations: 31 CFR 103.18 

(FinCEN); 12 CFR 21.11 (OCC); 12 CFR 

563.180 (OTS); 12 CFR 208.62(c), 

211.5(k), 211.24(f), and 225.4(f) (Board); 

12 CFR 353.3 (FDIC); 12 CFR 748.1 

(NCUA). The regulations were issued 

under the authority contained in the 

following statutes: 31 U.S.C. 5318(g) 

(FinCEN); 12 U.S.C. 93a, 1818, 1881–84, 

3401–22, 31 U.S.C. 5318 (OCC); 12 

U.S.C. 1463 and 1464 (OTS); 12 U.S.C. 

248(a)(1), 625, 1818, 1844(c), 3105(c)(2) 

and 3106(a) (Board); 12 U.S.C1818–1820 

(FDIC); 12 U.S.C. 1766(a), 1789(a) 

(NCUA). 

Current Action: The Banking 

Supervisory Agencies and the FinCEN 

propose to renew, without revision, the 

currently approved form.2

currently approved collection.
