Abstract:
Each financial institution must retain an original or copy of records related to extensions of credit in excess of $10,000 (other than those secured by real property), and records related to transfers of funds, currency, other monetary instruments, checks, investment securities, or credit of more than $10,000 to or from the United States (31 CFR 1010.410(a)-(d)). Banks and non-bank financial institutions must also maintain records related to, and include certain information as part of, funds transfers or transmittals of funds involving more than $3,000 (31 CFR 1010.410(e)-(f)-(g)). The required records must be maintained for five years (31 CFR 1010.430). FinCEN is issuing this statement to support the request for OMB approval of an information collection with respect to a notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPRM”). The NPRM proposes to amend the BSA regulations requiring the retention and transmittal of records related to funds transfers and transmittals of funds, by lowering the monetary thresholds triggering those requirements for transactions that begin or end outside the United States from $3,000 to $250. The NPRM also proposes to clarify that those same regulations apply to domestic and cross-border transactions involving convertible virtual currencies (“CVC”) and digital assets with legal tender status by clarifying the meaning of “money” as used in certain defined terms referenced in those regulations. This statement adds the estimated burden hours increase for this OMB control number, as a result of the NPRM. The increase in burden hours is being added to the existing OMB approved burden hours for this control number as reflected in this supporting statement.
