Abstract:
Pursuant to 31 CFR 1022.410(a), a dealer in foreign exchange must secure and maintain a record of the taxpayer identification number of certain persons for whom a transaction account is opened or a line of credit is extended. The taxpayer identification number must be obtained and recorded within 30 days of the date the account is opened or credit line extended, or longer if the person opening the account or seeking the line of credit needs to apply for a taxpayer identification or social security number. For non-resident aliens, a dealer in foreign exchange is required to record the person’s passport number or a description of some other government document used to verify his or her identity. Pursuant to 31 CFR 1022.410(b), a dealer in foreign exchange must also retain the original or a copy of nine types of documents as further detailed in the supporting statement.

Short Statement:
The estimated total annual burden hours increased by 43,200 hours from 14,768 hours in 2020 to 57,968 hours in 2024, although the annual hourly burden estimate for these recordkeeping requirements remained the same as in 2020. The increase in the estimated total annual burden hours is solely a result of an increase in the estimated number of dealers in foreign exchange from 923 in 2020 to 3,623 in 2024.
