a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
title 44 requires federal agencies to
provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed
collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
Title: Minimum Security Devices and
Procedures, Reports of Suspicious
Activities, and Bank Secrecy Act
Compliance Program.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0180.
Form Numbers: 8010–1/8010–9.
Abstract:
Minimum Security Devices and
Procedures: Under 12 CFR 21.2, 21.4,
168.2, and 168.4, national banks and
savings associations are required to
designate a security officer who must
develop and administer a written
security program. The security officer
shall report at least annually to the
institution’s board of directors on the
effectiveness of the security program.
The substance of the report shall be
reflected in the board’s minutes. These
requirements ensure that the security
officer is responsible for the security
program and that institution
management and the board of directors
are aware of the content and
effectiveness of the program. These
requirements also ensure prudent
institution management and institution
safety and soundness.
Suspicious Activity Report (SAR): In
1992, the Department of the Treasury
was granted broad authority to require
suspicious transaction reporting under
the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). See, 31
U.S.C. 5318(g). The Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which
has been delegated the authority to
administer the BSA, joined with the
bank regulators in 1996 in requiring, on
a consolidated form (i.e., SAR), reports
of suspicious transactions. See, 31 CFR
1020.320(a) (formerly 31 CFR 103.18(a)).
The filing of SARs is necessary to
prevent and detect crimes involving
depository institution funds, institution
insiders, criminal transactions, and
money laundering. These requirements
are necessary to ensure institution safety
and soundness.
Banks and savings associations are
required to maintain a copy of any SAR
filed and the original or business record
equivalent of any supporting
documentation for a period of five years.
The documents are necessary for
criminal investigations and
prosecutions.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
FinCEN and the Federal financial
institution supervisory agencies 2
adopted the SAR form to simplify the
process through which depository
institutions inform their regulators and
law enforcement about suspected
criminal activity. The SAR form was
updated in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006,
2011, 2012, 2015, and 2018.
Procedures for Monitoring Bank
Secrecy Act Compliance: Under 12 CFR
21.21, national banks and savings
associations are required to develop and
provide for the continued
administration of a program reasonably
designed to assure and monitor their
compliance with the BSA and
applicable Treasury regulations. The
compliance program must be in writing,
approved by the board of directors, and
reflected in the minutes of the national
bank or savings association. These
requirements are necessary to ensure
institution compliance with the BSA
and applicable Treasury regulations.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Business, for-profit
institutions, and non-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,233.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
615,130 hours.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will 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
OCC, including whether the information
shall have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’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 of information 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,

to provide information.
2 The Federal financial institution supervisory

SAR was adopted, was merged into the OCC in
2011.
