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 Dealers in Precious Metals, Precious Stones, and Jewels.
