SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Annunzio-Wylie Anti-Money
Laundering Act of 1992 required the
Secretary of the Treasury to establish a
Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group
(BSAAG) consisting of representatives
from federal regulatory and law
enforcement agencies, financial
institutions, and trade groups with
members subject to the requirements of
the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 CFR parts
1000–1099 et seq. or Section 6050I of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
BSAAG is the means by which the
Secretary receives advice on the
operations of the Bank Secrecy Act. As
chair of the BSAAG, the Director of
FinCEN is responsible for ensuring that
relevant issues are placed before the
BSAAG for review, analysis, and
discussion. Ultimately, the BSAAG will
make policy recommendations to the
Secretary on issues considered.
BSAAG membership is open to
financial institutions and trade groups.
New members will be selected to serve
a three-year term and must designate
one individual to represent that member
at plenary meetings. In compliance with
Executive Order 13490 of January 21,
2009, and White House policy, member
organizations may not designate a
representative to participate in BSAAG
plenary or subcommittee meetings who
is currently registered as a lobbyist
pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 1603(a).
It is important to provide complete
answers to the following items, as
applications will be evaluated on the
information provided through this
application process. Applications
should consist of:
• Name of the organization requesting
membership
• Point of contact, title, address,
email address and phone number
• Description of the financial
institution or trade group and its
involvement with the Bank Secrecy Act,
31 CFR parts 1000–1099 et seq.
• Reasons why the organization’s
participation on the BSAAG will bring
value to the group
Organizations may nominate
themselves, but applications for
individuals who are not representing an
organization will not be considered.
Members must be able and willing to
make the necessary time commitment to

participate on subcommittees
throughout the year by phone and
attend biannual plenary meetings held
in Washington DC the second
Wednesday of May and October.
Members will not be remunerated for
their time, services, or travel. In making
the selections, FinCEN will seek to
complement current BSAAG members
in terms of affiliation, industry, and
geographic representation. The Director
of FinCEN retains full discretion on all
membership decisions. The Director
may consider prior years’ applications
when making selections and does not
limit consideration to institutions
nominated by the public when making
selections.

On August 6, 2013, President Barack

2008 (the ‘‘JADE Act’’), that it is in the
national interest of the United States to

sanctions described in section 5(b) of
the JADE Act. As a result, as of August
7, the effective date of E.O. 13651, the
