TREAS/FINCEN RIN: 1506-AB45 Publication ID: Spring 2022 
Title: Withdraw Obsolete Civil Money Penalty Provisions for BSA Violations 
Abstract:

FinCEN is amending 31 CFR 1010.820 to withdraw the civil money penalty provisions for Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) violations that are obsolete. Statutory amendments have been made to specific civil BSA penalties since the regulation was last revised.  In addition, the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 as amended, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, requires agencies to issue regulations making annual adjustments reflecting the effect of inflation for civil penalties expressed in terms of a dollar amount. Those inflation adjustments are correctly captured in a separate regulation, and therefore the obsolete and inconsistent provisions will be withdrawn.
