DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

31 CFR Subtitles A and B 

Semiannual Agenda 

AGENCY: Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant 

to the requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act and Executive Order 

12866 (‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review’’), which require the publication 

by the Department of a semiannual 

agenda of regulations. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Agency contact identified in the item 

relating to that regulation. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

semiannual regulatory agenda includes 

regulations that the Department has 

issued or expects to issue and rules 

currently in effect that are under 

departmental or bureau review. 

Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, 

the internet has been the primary 

medium for disseminating the Unified 

Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda 

will be available online at 

www.reginfo.gov and 

www.regulations.gov, in a format that 

offers users an enhanced ability to 

obtain information from the Agenda 

database. Because publication in the 

Federal Register is mandated for the 

regulatory flexibility agenda required by 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

602), Treasury’s printed agenda entries 

include only: 

(1) Rules that are in the regulatory 

flexibility agenda, in accordance with 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because 

they are likely to have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities; and 

(2) Rules that have been identified for 

periodic review under section 610 of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Printing of these entries is limited to 

fields that contain information required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s 

Agenda requirements. Additional 

information on these entries is available 

in the Unified Agenda available on the 

internet. 

The semiannual agenda of the 

Department of the Treasury conforms to 

the Unified Agenda format developed 

by the Regulatory Information Service 

Center (RISC).

Proposed Rule Stage 

171. Clarification of the Requirement 

To Collect, Retain, and Transmit 

Information on Transactions Involving 

Convertible Virtual Currencies and 

Digital Assets With Legal Tender Status 

[1506–AB41] 

Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1829b; 12 

U.S.C. 1951 to 1959; 31 U.S.C. 5311 to 

5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336 

Abstract: The Board of Governors of 

the Federal Reserve System and FinCEN 

(collectively, the ‘‘Agencies’’) intend to 

issue a revised proposal to clarify the 

meaning of ‘‘money’’ as used in the 

rules implementing the Bank Secrecy 

Act requiring financial institutions to 

collect, retain, and transmit information 

on certain funds transfers and 

transmittals of funds. The Agencies 

intend that the revised proposal will 

ensure that the rules apply to domestic 

and cross-border transactions involving 

convertible virtual currency, which is a 

medium of exchange (such as 

cryptocurrency) that either has an 

equivalent value as currency, or acts as 

a substitute for currency, but lacks legal 

tender status. The Agencies further 

intend that the revised proposal will 

clarify that these rules apply to 

domestic and cross-border transactions 

involving digital assets that have legal 

tender status.

172. Section 6403. Corporate 

Transparency Act [1506–AB49] 

Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1829b; 12 

U.S.C. 1951 to 1959; 31 U.S.C. 5311 to 

5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336 

Abstract: On December 8, 2021, 

FinCEN issued a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled 

‘‘Beneficial Ownership Information 

Reporting Requirements.’’ This related 

to one of the subjects of FinCEN’s 

Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPRM) entitled 

‘‘Beneficial Ownership Information 

Reporting Requirements,’’ issued on 

April 5, 2021, which was prompted by 

the Corporate Transparency Act 

(Sections 6401–6403 of the Anti-Money 

Laundering Act of 2020 (the AML Act)). 

Section 6403 amends the Bank Secrecy 

Act by adding new Section 5336 to title 

31 of the United States Code. New 

Section 5336 requires FinCEN to issue 

rules that: (i) require reporting 

companies to submit certain 

information about the individuals who 

are beneficial owners of those entities 

and the individuals who formed or 

registered those entities; (ii) establish a 

mechanism for issuing FinCEN 

identifiers to entities and individuals 

that request them; (iii) require FinCEN 

to maintain the information in a 

confidential, secure non-public 

database; and (iv) authorize FinCEN to 

disclose the information to certain 

government agencies and financial 

institutions for purposes specified in the 

legislation and subject to protocols to 

protect the confidentiality of the 

information. Section 5336 requires that 

the beneficial ownership information 

(BOI) reporting regulation for legal 

entities (the ‘‘reporting regulation’’), be 

published in final form by January 1, 

2022. Section 6403(d) of the Corporate 

Transparency Act requires FinCEN also 

to revise its customer due diligence 

requirements for financial institutions to 

account for the changes created by 

FinCEN’s compliance with these other 

requirements, and requires that these 

revisions be finalized within one year 

after the effective date of the reporting 

regulation. The ANPRM solicited 

comments on a wide range of questions 

that concerned three rulemaking 

actions: (i) the reporting regulation, (ii) 

an access regulation focused on 

authorizing FinCEN disclosure of BOI 

and establishing confidentiality 

protections for BOI being accessed, and 

(iii) revisions to the CDD requirements. 

The NPRM published on December 8, 

2021 addressed only the first of these 

actions, but the comments FinCEN 

received related to all three subjects, as 

well as addressing issues that concerned 

the interaction of the three regulatory 

actions and the shape and functionality 

of the database that will be populated 

with the information reported under 

Section 5336. FinCEN is reviewing these 

comments and considering the timing 

and sequence of the regulatory actions 

it will take to fulfill the requirements of 

Section 5336 in light of the issues of 

regulatory interaction that the 

comments raise.

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in order 

to implement Section 6110 of the AntiMoney Laundering Act of 2020 (the 

AML Act). This section amends the 

Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5312(a)(2)) 

to include as a financial institution a 

person engaged in the trade of 

antiquities, including an advisor, 

consultant, or any other person who 

engages as a business in the solicitation 

or the sale of antiquities, subject to 

regulations prescribed by the Secretary 

of the Treasury. The section further 

requires the Secretary of the Treasury to 

issue proposed rules to implement the 

amendment within 360 days of 

enactment of the AML Act.

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a

AML Act). That section, among other 

things, amends section 5318(h) to title 

31 of the United States Code to: (1) 

require financial institutions to establish 

countering the financing of terrorism 

(CFT) in addition to AML programs; (2) 

require FinCEN to establish national 

AML/CFT priorities and, as appropriate, 

promulgate implementing regulations 

within 180 days of the issuance of those 

priorities; and (3) provide that the duty 

to establish, maintain, and enforce a 

Bank Secrecy Act AML/CFT program 

remains the responsibility of, and must 

be performed by, persons in the United 

States who are accessible to, and subject 

to oversight and supervision by, the 

Secretary of the Treasury and the 

appropriate Federal functional 

regulator. Additionally, FinCEN intends 

to propose other changes, including 

regulatory amendments to establish that 

all financial institutions subject to an 

AML/CFT program requirement must 

maintain an effective and reasonably 

designed AML/CFT program, and that 

such a program must include a risk 

assessment process.

Abstract: FinCEN is finalizing 

amendments to the regulatory 

definitions of ‘‘broker or dealer in 

securities’’ under the regulations 

implementing the Bank Secrecy Act. 

The changes are intended to expand the 

current scope of the definitions to 

include funding portals. In addition, 

these amendments would require 

funding portals to implement policies 

and procedures reasonably designed to 

achieve compliance with all of the Bank 

Secrecy Act requirements that are 

currently applicable to brokers or 

dealers in securities. The rule to require 

these organizations to comply with the 

Bank Secrecy Act regulations is 

intended to help prevent money 

laundering, terrorist financing, and 

other financial crimes. 

Note: This is not a new requirement; 

it replaces RINs 1506–AB24 and 1506–
