FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The FinCEN regulatory helpline at (800) 949–2732 and select Option 3. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background A. Statutory Provisions On October 26, 2001, the President signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (‘‘USA PATRIOT ACT’’ or ‘‘Act’’), Public Law 107–56. Title III of the Act amends the anti-money laundering provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (‘‘BSA’’), codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b and 1951–1959 and 31 U.S.C. 5311– 5314 and 5316–5332, to promote the prevention, detection, and prosecution of international money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Regulations implementing the BSA appear at 31 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00114 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74277 Chapter X. The authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to administer the BSA has been delegated to the Director of FinCEN. Of the Act’s many goals, the facilitation of information sharing among governmental entities and financial institutions for the purpose of combating terrorism and money laundering is of paramount importance. As with many other provisions of the Act, Congress has charged the U.S. Department of the Treasury with developing regulations to implement these information-sharing provisions. Subsection 314(a) of the Act states in part that: [t]he Secretary shall * * * adopt regulations to encourage further cooperation among financial institutions, their regulatory authorities, and law enforcement authorities, with the specific purpose of encouraging regulatory authorities and law enforcement authorities to share with financial institutions information regarding individuals, entities, and organizations engaged in, or reasonably suspected based on credible evidence of engaging in, terrorist acts or money laundering activities.1 B. Overview of the Current Regulatory Provisions Regarding the 314(a) Program On September 26, 2002, FinCEN published a final rule implementing the authority contained in section 314(a) of the Act.2 That rule (‘‘the 314(a) rule’’) required U.S. financial institutions, upon FinCEN’s request, to search their records to determine whether they have maintained an account or conducted a transaction with a person that a Federal law enforcement agency has certified is suspected, based on credible evidence, of engaging in terrorist activity or money laundering.3 The rule was expanded on February 10, 2010 to enable certain entities other than Federal law enforcement agencies to benefit from 314(a) requests to industry. As amended, the rule now also enables certain foreign law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as FinCEN, on its own behalf and on behalf of appropriate components of the Department of the Treasury, to initiate 314(a) queries.4 Before processing a request, FinCEN requires the requesting agency to certify that, in the case of 1 Pub. L. 107–56, Title III, § 314, Oct. 26, 2001, 115 Stat. 307, as amended by Public Law 108–458, Title VI, § 6202(f), Dec. 17, 2004, 118 Stat 3745. 2 Special Information Sharing Procedures to Deter Money Laundering and Terrorist Activity, 67 FR 60,579 (Sept. 26, 2002). 3 31 CFR 1010.520. 4 Expansion of Special Information Sharing Procedures To Deter Money Laundering and Terrorist Activity, 75 FR 6560 (Feb. 10, 2010).
