Download as PDF 38166 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 5, 2006 / Notices editorial comments about certain data items. The other agencies published a separate Federal Register notice on June 19, 2006 (71 FR 35325) and will each separately submit their SAR information collection to OMB. Several commenters suggested that the agencies provide a test site for filing electronic submissions. Due to time constraints, FinCEN is unable to provide a test site; however, respondents will have a six-month transition period before being required to use the revised reporting form for submitting data. Two commenters stated that the overall burden estimate appeared to be low even though it was increased from thirty minutes to one hour. One commenter specifically noted that the burden estimate did not account for regulatory compliance, fraud detection, and mitigation. While important, these regulatory requirements are outside the scope of the burden calculation required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The agencies, however, continue to welcome comments from the industry and would reevaluate and make adjustments to the burden, as appropriate. Several commenters expressed concern over the new format of the reporting form and whether it would cause important information to be omitted by respondents. The agencies rearranged data items on the reporting form, per law enforcement request, to improve the usefulness of the data. Also, additional clarifications were included in the instructions to provide respondents with better guidance on how to submit the revised data. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 28, 2006. Jennifer J. Johnson, Secretary of the Board. [FR Doc.
