Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 

Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group; 

Solicitation of Application for 

Membership 

AGENCY: Financial Crimes Enforcement 

Network (‘‘FinCEN’’), Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

nominations. 

SUMMARY: FinCEN is inviting the public 

to nominate financial institutions, trade 

groups, and non-federal regulators or 

law enforcement agencies for 

membership on the Bank Secrecy Act 

Advisory Group. New members will be 

selected for three-year membership 

terms. 

DATES: Nominations must be received 

by January 26, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations must be 

emailed to BSAAG@fincen.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

FinCEN Resource Center at 800–767– 

2825. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Annunzio-Wylie Anti-Money 

Laundering Act of 1992 required the 

Secretary of the Treasury to establish a 

Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group 

(BSAAG) consisting of representatives 

from federal regulatory and law 

enforcement agencies, financial 

institutions, and trade groups with 

members subject to the requirements of 

the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 CFR 1000– 

1099 et seq. or Section 6050I of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The 

BSAAG is the means by which the 

Treasury receives advice on the 

operations of the Bank Secrecy Act. As 

chair of the BSAAG, the Director of 

FinCEN is responsible for ensuring that 

relevant issues are placed before the 

BSAAG for review, analysis, and 

discussion. 

BSAAG membership is open to 

financial institutions, trade groups, and 

non-federal regulators and law 

enforcement agencies. Membership is 

granted to organizations, not to 

individuals. Organizational members 

will be selected to serve a three-year 

term and must designate one individual 

to represent that member at plenary 

meetings. The designated representative 

should be knowledgeable about Bank 

Secrecy Act requirements and must be 

able and willing to make the necessary 

time commitment to participate on 

committees throughout the year by 

phone and attend biannual plenary 

meetings held in Washington, DC in 

May and October. 

It is important to provide complete 

answers to the following items, as 

nominations will be evaluated on the 

information provided through this 

application process. There is no formal 

application; interested organizations 

may submit their nominations via email 

or email attachment. Nominations 

should consist of: 

• Name of the organization requesting 

membership 

• Point of contact, title, address, email 

address and phone number 

• Description of the financial institution 

or trade group and its involvement 

with the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 CFR 

1000–1099 et seq. 

• Reasons why the organization’s 

participation on the BSAAG will 

bring value to the group 

Organizations may nominate 

themselves, but nominations for 

individuals who are not representing an 

organization will not be considered. 

Members will not be remunerated for 

their time, services, or travel. In making 

the selections, FinCEN will seek to 

complement current BSAAG members 

in terms of affiliation, industry, and 

geographic representation. The Director 

of FinCEN retains full discretion on all 

membership decisions. The Director 

may consider prior years’ applications 

when making selections and does not 

limit consideration to institutions 

nominated by the public when making 

selections.
