Short Statement:
After reviewing several options, FinCEN elected to require several financial institutions to file a special report in accordance with 31 CFR 1010.360. Due to the sensitive nature of the request, FinCEN elected to require reporting by means other than in the Federal Register as permitted in the regulation. Notice to OMB of the change in reporting and request for approval of the increase in the burden for this control number was not posted in the ROCIS system. This oversight was discovered in September 2015. In view of the favorable results of this action, FinCEN is requesting an increase to the current approved PRA burden of one (1) hour. The new burden of 1000 hours (See supporting statement, item 12) will permit FinCEN to continue to use this provision in the regulations in combating terrorist financing and money laundering.
