TREAS/FINCEN RIN: 1506-AA90 Publication ID: Spring 2009 
Title: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; Proposed Amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations—Exemptions From the Requirement To Report Transactions in Currency; Comment Request 
Abstract: FinCEN is proposing rules to further reform and simplify the process by which banks may exempt transactions of certain persons from the requirement to report transactions in currency in excess of $10,000. We are also providing notice and requesting comments on proposed special instructions to the “Designation of Exempt Persons” form, FinCEN Form 110, which correspond to the proposed changes to the regulatory text being made in this notice. Finally, we are proposing technical corrections and edits to the rules. Modification of the currency transaction report exemption procedures is an additional step in the Department of the Treasury’s continuing program to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the counter-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing policies of the Department of the Treasury.
