collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence;

the abuses of financial crime, the United States should 
prioritize working with partners in Federal, State, local, Tribal, 
and foreign law enforcement authorities; 
(3) although the use and trading of virtual currencies are 
legal practices, some terrorists and criminals, including 
transnational 
criminal 
organizations, 
seek 
to 
exploit 
vulnerabilities in the global financial system and increasingly 
rely on substitutes for currency, including emerging payment 
methods (such as virtual currencies), to move illicit funds; 
and 
(4) in carrying out its mission, FinCEN should ensure 
that its efforts fully support countering the financing of ter-
rorism efforts, including making sure that steps to address 
emerging methods of such illicit financing are high priorities.

required to report; and

agencies, national security officials, and the

relate to suspicious transactions relevant to poten-
tial violations of law (including regulations); and

clause (I), shall consider transactions, including 
structured transactions, designed to evade any 
regulation promulgated under this subchapter, cer-

apparent economic or business purpose, trans-
actions without lawful purposes, and any other 
transaction that the Secretary determines to be 
appropriate. 
‘‘(iii) RULE

recent disclosure under this paragraph to the financial 
institution. 
(B) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this para-
graph may be construed to require the public disclosure

General, Federal law enforcement agencies, the Secretary of Home-

visors, State credit union supervisors, and other relevant stake-
holders, shall undertake a formal review of the financial institution 
reporting requirements relating to currency transaction reports and 
suspicious activity reports, as in effect on the date of enactment 
of this Act, including the processes used to submit reports under 
the Bank Secrecy Act, regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy

described in section 5311 of title 31, United States Code, as 
amended by section 6101(a) of this division. 
(b) CONTENTS.—The review required under subsection (a) 
shall— 
(1) rely substantially on information obtained through the 
BSA Data Value Analysis Project conducted by FinCEN; and 
(2) include a review of— 
(A) whether the circumstances under which a financial 
institution determines whether to file a continuing sus-
picious activity report, including insider abuse, or the proc-
esses followed by a financial institution in determining 
whether to file a continuing suspicious activity report, or 
both, should be streamlined or otherwise adjusted; 
(B) whether different thresholds should apply to dif-
ferent categories of activities; 
(C) the fields designated as critical on the suspicious 
activity report form, the fields on the currency transaction 
report form, and whether the number or nature of the 
fields on those forms should be adjusted; 
(D) the categories, types, and characteristics of sus-
picious activity reports and currency transaction reports 
that are of the greatest value to, and that best support, 
investigative priorities of law enforcement and national 
security agencies; 
(E) the increased use or expansion of exemption provi-
sions to reduce currency transaction reports that may be 
of little or no value to the efforts of law enforcement agen-
cies; 
(F) the most appropriate ways to promote financial 
inclusion and address the adverse consequences of financial 
institutions de-risking entire categories of relationships, 
including charities, embassy accounts, and money service 
businesses (as defined in section 1010.100(ff) of title 31, 
Code of Federal Regulations), and certain groups of cor-
respondent banks without conducting a proper assessment 
of the specific risk of each individual member of these 
populations; 
(G) the current financial institution reporting require-
ments under the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations and 
guidance implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; 
(H) whether the process for the electronic submission 
of reports could be improved for both financial institutions 
and law enforcement agencies, including by allowing
H. R. 6395—1183 
greater integration between financial institution systems 
and the electronic filing system to allow for automatic 
population of report fields and the automatic submission 
of transaction data for suspicious transactions, without 
bypassing the obligation of each reporting financial institu-
tion to assess the specific risk of the transactions reported; 
(I) the appropriate manner in which to ensure the 
security and confidentiality of personal information; 
(J) how to improve the cross-referencing of individuals 
or entities operating at multiple financial institutions and 
across international borders; 
(K) whether there are ways to improve currency trans-
action report aggregation for entities with common owner-
ship; 
(L) whether financial institutions should be permitted 
to streamline or otherwise adjust, with respect to particular 
types of customers or transactions, the process for deter-
mining whether activity is suspicious or the information 
included in the narrative of a suspicious activity report; 
and 
(M) any other matter the Secretary determines is 
appropriate.
