Abstract: FinCEN is submitting this information collection request to support its request that OMB approve a proposed revision to a collection of information associated with NPRM in support of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The proposed rule implements section 6101(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act). On April 10, 2026, FinCEN published in the Federal Register a notice and request for comments on a proposed rule to fundamentally reform the requirements for financial institutions’ AML/CFT programs. The NPRM aims to ensure that financial institutions establish and maintain AML/CFT programs that better achieve the purposes of the BSA and lead to more effective outcomes for financial institutions as well as law enforcement and national security agencies. Through this rulemaking, consistent with its statutory authority as the administrator of the BSA, FinCEN is also proposing measures to modernize and reform federal supervision of AML/CFT programs by enhancing FinCEN’s role in AML/CFT supervision and enforcement in coordination with Federal banking regulators. In addition, FinCEN is proposing regulatory amendments to promote clarity and consistency across FinCEN’s program requirements for different types of financial institutions. This information collection request covers the AML/CFT program requirements for MSBs, mutual funds, and operators of credit card systems.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden presented in Table 2 of the supporting statement is a result of (1) the newly articulated pro forma average annual 50-hour burden that mutual funds already incur associated with ongoing customer due diligence (67,750 hours), and (2) the newly articulated pro forma average annual one-hour burden associated with program approval for financial institution types that do not already have PRA burden associated with that activity. In this case, the new one-hour burden applies to MSB principals and operators of credit card systems (24,860 hours). In part, the change in aggregate burden is also attributable to certain changes in baseline populations of affected financial institutions, including (1) an increase of 275 in the expected population of MSB principals that are providers and sellers of prepaid access (from 2,605 to 2,880), (2) a decrease of 2,919 in the expected population of MSB principals that are not providers and sellers of prepaid access (from 24,895 to 21,976), (3) an increase of 78,051 in the expected population of MSB agents (from 229,161 to 307,212), and (4) a decrease of 45 in the expected population of mutual funds (from 1,400 to 1,355).
