The OCC
is proposing to extend the approval for
the following information collection:
Title: Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money
Laundering Risk Assessment.
OMB Number: 1557–0231.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The MLR System enhances
the ability of examiners and bank
management to identify and evaluate
any Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money
Laundering risks associated with the
banks’ products, services, customers,
and locations. As new products and
services are introduced, existing
products and services change, and the
banks expand through mergers and
acquisitions, management’s evaluation
of money laundering and terrorist
financing risks must evolve as well.
Absent appropriate controls, such as
this risk assessment, these lines of
business, products, or entities could
elevate Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money
Laundering risks.
Burden Estimates:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,467.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,467.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Annual Burden: 8,802 hours.
Comments: All comments will be
considered in formulating the
subsequent submission and become a
matter of public record. Comments are
invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
