DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Bank Secrecy Act Suspicious 
Activity Report Database Proposed Data Fields

AGENCY: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FinCEN has begun the design of a new Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) 
database (the Database) and invites comment on the list of proposed 
data fields within the Database that will support Suspicious Activity 
Report (SAR) filings by financial institutions required to file such 
reports under the BSA. This notice does not propose any new regulatory 
requirements nor changes to the requirements related to suspicious 
activity reporting, but rather seeks input on technical matters as we 
transition from a system originally designed for collecting paper forms 
to a modernized IT environment for electronic reporting. The list of 
proposed data fields for the ``BSA Suspicious Activity Report (BSA-
SAR)'' appears at the end of this notice. The proposed data fields 
reflect the filing requirement for all filers of SARs under the BSA. 
The SAR will be an e-filed dynamic and interactive report used by all 
BSA filing institutions to report suspicious activity to the Department 
of the Treasury. This request for comments covers 31 CFR 103.15, 31 CFR 
103.16, 31 CFR 103.17, 31 CFR 103.18, 31 CFR 103.19, 31 CFR 103.20, and 
31 CFR 103.21. This request for comments is being made pursuant to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A).

DATES: Written comments are welcome and must be received on or before 
December 14, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to: Regulatory Policy 
and Programs Division, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Department 
of the Treasury, P.O. Box 39, Vienna, Virginia 22183, Attention: PRA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: BSA Suspicious Activity Report by Financial Institutions, 
(See 31 CFR 103.15, 31 CFR 103.16, 31 CFR 103.17, 31 CFR 103.18, 31 CFR 
103.19, 31 CFR 103.20, and 31 CFR 103.21).
    OMB Number: 1506-XXXX.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The SAR requirements are currently covered under the 
following OMB control numbers: 1506-0001 (SAR-DI), 1506-0006 (SAR-
C), 1506-0015 (SAR-MSB), 1506-0019 (SAR-SF which includes broker-
dealers, FCMs, IB-Cs, and Mutual Funds), and 1506-0029 (SAR-IC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Form Number: FinCEN Form 111.
    Abstract: The statute generally referred to as the ``Bank Secrecy 
Act,'' Titles I and II of Public Law 91-508, as amended, codified at 12 
U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C. 1951-1959, and 31 U.S.C. 5311-5332, 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 
counter-money laundering programs and compliance procedures.\2\ 
Regulations implementing Title II of the Bank Secrecy Act appear at 31 
CFR Part 103. The authority of the Secretary to administer the Bank 
Secrecy Act has been delegated to the Director of FinCEN.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Language expanding the scope of the BSA to intelligence or 
counter-intelligence activities to protect against international 
terrorism was added by Section 358 of the Uniting and Strengthening 
America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and 
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the USA PATRIOT Act), Public Law 
107-56.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Secretary of the Treasury was granted authority in 1992, with 
the enactment of 31 U.S.C. 5318(g), to require financial institutions 
to report suspicious transactions.
    The information collected on the ``report'' is required to be 
provided pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5318(g), as implemented by FinCEN 
regulations found at 31 CFR 103.15-21. The information collected under 
this requirement is made available to appropriate agencies and 
organizations as disclosed in FinCEN's Privacy Act System of Records 
Notice relating to SARs.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Treasury Department bureaus such as FinCEN renew their 
System of Records Notices every three years unless there is cause to 
amend them more frequently. FinCEN's System of Records Notice for 
the SAR System was most recently published at 73 FR 42405, 42407-9 
(July 21, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Current Action: FinCEN is in the process of designing the Database 
to accept modernized electronic BSA reporting. The Database will accept 
XML-based dynamic, state-of-the-art reports. Batch and computer-to-
computer filing processes will remain unchanged, although the file 
format will change to match the Database. Discrete filings will be 
based on Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES dynamic forms. All filings 
(discrete, batch, and computed-to-computer) will be accessed through 
the BSA E-Filing system \4\ using current registration and log-in 
procedures. During log-in of the discrete filing option, filers will be 
prompted through a series of questions \5\ (see BSA-SAR Comprehensive 
Summary of Proposed Data Fields, item 1 and Part III, at the end of 
this notice) to provide information that will identify the type of 
financial institution filing the SAR (depository institution, broker/
dealer, casino, etc.). After log-in, the financial institution filing 
SARs through the discrete function will answer another set of questions 
consisting of a subset of the data field appropriate to the filer's 
specific type of filing institution. Batch and computer-to-computer 
filers will file reports based on an electronic file specification that 
will be finalized after reviewing public comments received in response 
to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ BSA E-Filing is a free service provided by FinCEN. More 
information on the filing methods may be accessed at http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/main.html.
    \5\ A series of predetermined questions will be used to 
establish the type of institution and filing in much the same manner 
as used in widely accepted income tax filing software.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dynamic forms are documents with a hierarchical structure that can 
be converted into XML. This structure can include structure from XML 
Schema and example XML files. Dynamic forms can be saved as PDF files 
or XDP files. XDP files are used by the Adobe LiveCycle Form Server to 
render files to PDF or HTML as needed. The report for the Database will 
be designed to be both dynamic (changing layout in response to data 
propagated from other sources) and interactive (capable of accepting 
user input). Currently, e-filed discrete forms are based on Designer 
8.2.1. The dynamic features of these PDF forms can be manipulated by 
the Adobe Form Server during the rendering process, or

[[Page 63546]]

by the Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader \6\ client during viewing. Dynamic 
forms allow JavaScript to be embedded, thereby enabling programmatic 
changes to the form layout as well as communication with various data 
sources (SOAP, OLEDB). Besides JavaScript, Adobe dynamic forms includes 
a proprietary scripting language called FormCalc, designed to be a 
simple language for users familiar with spreadsheet calculations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Adobe Acrobat Reader is free and can be downloaded from the 
Adobe Web site http://www.adobe.com/reader.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The filing of the dynamic report will begin with the filer 
identifying the type of filing,\7\ followed by answering several 
questions about the filers' institution such as institution type 
(depository institution, broker-dealer, MSB, insurance, etc.), name of 
the institution, the institution's RSSD/EIN, and address.\8\ Responses 
to these questions will enable or ``auto populate'' certain data 
elements of the report with information obtained from third-party data 
sources, completing most of the filing institution's identifying 
information. The institution will then complete specific information on 
the subject(s) and nature of the suspicious activity, using the data 
elements appropriate to the type of financial institution filing. In 
case of a joint filed report, all data elements will be available for 
selection. In the event that a single filer requires access to 
additional elements not typical for the filer's type of financial 
institution, a ``select all'' feature will be available to enable all 
data elements for selection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See item 1 of the BSA-SAR Comprehensive Summary of Proposed 
Data Fields at the end of this notice.
    \8\ See Part III of the BSA-SAR Comprehensive Summary of 
Proposed Data Fields at the end of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Review of the BSA-SAR Comprehensive Summary of Proposed Data 
Fields\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The complete list of proposed data fields appears at the end 
of this notice.

    Note:  The following general comments apply to all filings, 
discrete, batch, and computer-to-computer. Critical fields are 
marked with an asterisk (*) and must be completed, if appropriate, 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by checking the ``unknown'' box.

    <bullet> All filing institutions will complete item 1, ``Type of 
Filing,'' once for each report.
    <bullet> All filing institutions will complete Part I, ``Subject 
Information,'' for each subject. Part I may be repeated as many times 
as necessary to cover all subjects. If item 2b is checked this Part may 
be left blank. Within Part I, subject contact information, subject 
identification information, financial institution relationship 
information, and subject account information may be repeated as many 
times as necessary.
    <bullet> All filing institutions must complete a Part II. Note that 
Part II items cover all filers. Filers are only required to complete 
those items that pertain to the report being made that apply to their 
institution. If a filer has additional information that would add value 
to the report, a ``select all'' feature will be available. Generally 
there will be one Part II per report. Unlimited entries in the ``z 
other'' sub category of instrument/product information, unlimited 
entries for instrument/product IDs and unlimited entries in the ``z 
other'' sub category of suspicious activity category and type will be 
available to electronic filers if needed.
    <bullet> A Part III ``Information Concerning Financial Institution 
Where Activity Occurred'' is required for all reports. Part III may be 
repeated as many times as necessary to report an unlimited number of 
financial institutions and/or branches of financial institutions if 
necessary.
    <bullet> A single Part IV ``Filing Institution Contact 
Information'' is required for each report.
    <bullet> Part V ``Suspicious Activity Information Narrative'' is a 
text file that is limited to 17,000 characters (approximately six 
pages). Institutions filing electronically may, but are not required 
to, attach a MS Excel-compatible file (no larger than 1 MB) providing 
details in tabular form of transactions subject to the suspicious 
activity discussed in the text file.
    Type of Review: Initial review of the proposed data elements of the 
Database in support of the electronic filing of a dynamic BSA-SAR.
    Affected public: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
financial institutions.
    Frequency: As required.
    Estimated Reporting Burden: Average of 60 minutes per report and 60 
minutes recordkeeping per filing.\10\ (The reporting burden of the 
regulations 31 CFR 103.15, 31 CFR 103.16, 31 CFR 103.17, 31 CFR 103.18, 
31 CFR 103.19, 31 CFR 103.20, and 31 CFR 103.21 is reflected in the 
burden for the form.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The stated PRA burden is for a single institution filing. 
If the BSA-SAR report is filed jointly, an additional 30 minutes 
reporting time per joint filer is added to record the joint filer 
provided information and identification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Recordkeeping and Reporting Burden for 31 CFR 103.15, 31 
CFR 103.16, 31 CFR 103.17, 31 CFR 103.18, 31 CFR 103.19, 31 CFR 103.20, 
and 31 CFR 103.21: 2 hours.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated number of respondents = 83,455.
    This includes depository institutions (27,262), broker-dealers 
(5,200), future commission merchants (143), insurance companies 
(1,200), introducing brokers in commodities (1602), money services 
businesses (37,977), and mutual funds (10,071). This number is equal to 
the total number of entities that are subject to filing SARs in fiscal 
year 2010. Given that the current proposal does not change the SAR 
filing requirement itself, FinCEN does not anticipate that the current 
proposal will change the number of entities subject to filing SARs.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses = 1,281,225.
    This number is equal to the total number of SARs filed by all 
filers in fiscal year 2010. Given that the current proposal does not 
change the SAR filing requirement itself, FinCEN does not anticipate 
that the current proposal will change the number of SARs being filed.
    Estimated Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden for 
Single Filer: 2,562,450 hours.
    Joint filing:
    In 2006, FinCEN expanded the broker-dealer (B-D), Future Commission 
Merchant (FCM), and Introducing Broker in Commodities (IB-C) filer 
option to file jointly to all filing entities. The intent of joint 
filing was the reduction of the number of actual reports filed. Due to 
significant database limitations and issues this expanded option was 
never formally put into practice. The advent of the FinCEN IT 
Modernization, the new database and the use of dynamic information 
collection tools as described above will now fully support joint filing 
by all BSA filers. In developing this concept, FinCEN is listing below 
a separate joint filing burden for review and comment. The numbers 
presented assume that the FY10 filings, as listed above, were all joint 
with one other filer which would result in a reduction of the number of 
reports filed by 50%. FinCEN realizes this reduced number to be 
overstated but elected to use it to establish a baseline for 
review.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ While the number of joint filers may increase from current 
levels due to the relative ease with which the Database can 
accommodate joint filing, this number is probably still a 
significant overestimate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated number of respondents = 83,455 (Note: no change from 
single filer option).

[[Page 63547]]

    Estimated number of responses = 640,612 (See joint filing 
discussion above).
    Estimated Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden for Joint 
Filer: 1,601,530 hours
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid OMB control number. Records required to be 
retained under the Bank Secrecy Act must be retained for five years.
    Request for Comments:
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates 
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance and 
purchase of services to provide information.
