Title: Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations--Reports of Foreign Financial Accounts  
Abstract: FinCEN, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is proposing to revise the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regarding reports of foreign financial accounts. The proposed rule would clarify which persons will be required to file reports of foreign financial accounts and which accounts will be reportable. In addition, the proposed rule would exempt certain persons with signature or other authority from filing reports and would include provisions intended to prevent United States persons from avoiding this reporting requirement.
