SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 

(FinCEN) 

1. Title: Transactions of Exempt 

Person and FinCEN Report 110—DOEP 

Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1506–0012. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: 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) (Pub. L. 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. Regulations implementing 

Title II of the BSA appear at 31 CFR 

Chapter X. 

The requirement for financial 

institutions to report certain 

transactions in currency has been an 

important component of the BSA from 

its inception. Regulations implementing 

this requirement have long established a 

one-person, one-day, one-institution 

aggregate currency transaction threshold 

of $10,000, above which every financial 

institution must file a Currency 

Transaction Report (CTR). The Money 

Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 

amended the BSA to create certain 

mandatory exemptions applicable to 

banks from the requirement for financial 

institutions to file CTRs, and to give the 

Secretary authority to create additional 

such exemptions. Regulations 

implementing this exemption authority, 

including by requiring the collection of 

information on the DOEP Report, are 

found at 31 CFR 1020.315. 

Under 31 CFR 1020.315(a), a bank is 

not required to file a CTR with respect 

to any transaction in currency between 

exempt persons and the bank, or 

between an exempt person and other 

banks that are affiliated with the bank. 

31 CFR 1020.315(b) sets out that an 

exempt person is: (1) A bank, to the 

extent of such bank’s domestic 

operations; (2) a department or agency 

of the United States, of any State, or of 

any political subdivision of any State; 

(3) any entity established under the laws 

of the United States, any State, or any 

political subdivision of any State, or 

under an interstate compact, that 

exercises governmental authority on 

behalf of the United States, any such 

State, or any such political subdivision; 

(4) any entity, other than a bank, whose 

common stock or analogous equity 

interests are listed on the New York 

Stock Exchange, the American 

Exchange, or the NASDAQ Stock Market 

(a ‘‘listed entity’’), provided that, if the 

listed entity is a financial institution 

other than a bank, it is an exempt 

person only to the extent of its domestic 

operations; (5) any subsidiary, other 

than a bank, of a listed entity mentioned 

in the previous item (4) that is organized 

under the laws of the United States or 

of any State, provided that the listed 

entity owns at least 51 percent of the 

equity interest of the subsidiary, and 

subject to the qualification that if the 

subsidiary is a financial institution 

other than a bank, it is an exempt 

person only to the extent of its domestic 

operations; (6) any other commercial 

enterprise, with certain exceptions, that 

maintains a transaction account at the 

bank for at least two months, frequently 

engages in transactions with the bank in 

currency in excess of $10,000, and is 

incorporated or organized under the 

laws of, or is registered as and eligible 

to do business within, the United States 

or a State (a ‘‘non-listed business’’), but 

only to the extent of the non-listed 

business customers’ domestic
