III. GLTPA’s Request
GLTPA seeks an exemption from 49
CFR 393.116(b)(3) and 393.116(e) to
allow motor carriers to use fewer
tiedowns than required to secure
shortwood logs transported lengthwise
in crib-type vehicles that have been
modified or manufactured without front
structures, without rear structures, or
with a center-mounted crane for loading
and unloading. In its application,
GLTPA proposes alternative methods of
securement. GLTPA states that the log
securement methods it proposes would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or
greater than the level of safety provided
by the regulation. A copy of GLTPA’s
application for exemption is posted in
the docket.
IV. Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)
and 31136(e), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on
the GLTPA application for an
exemption from certain cargo
securement requirements of 49 CFR
393.116.
All comments received before the
close of business on the comment
closing date will be considered and will
be available for examination in the
docket at the location listed under the
Addresses section of this notice.
Comments received after the comment
closing date will be filed in the public
docket and considered to the extent
practicable. In addition to late
comments, FMCSA will also continue to
file in the public docket relevant
information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested
persons should continue to examine the
public docket for new material.

Associate Administrator for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Statutory and Regulatory Provisions
The legislative framework generally
referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act
(BSA) consists of the Currency and
Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of
1970, as amended by the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
(USA PATRIOT Act), Public Law 107–
56 (October 26, 2001), and other
legislation, including the Anti-Money
Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act).1
The BSA is codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b,
12 U.S.C. 1951–1960, and 31 U.S.C.
5311–5314 and 5316–5336, and notes
thereto, with implementing regulations
at 31 CFR chapter X.
The BSA authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury (the ‘‘Secretary’’), inter
alia, to require financial institutions to
keep records and file reports that are
determined to have a high degree of

programs and compliance procedures.2
Regulations implementing the BSA
appear at 31 CFR chapter X. The
authority of the Secretary to administer
the BSA has been delegated to the

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 1506–0062.
Abstract: FinCEN is issuing this
notice to renew, without change, its
capability to solicit feedback from the
public with respect to timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders would be unavailable.
FinCEN will submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance
only if it meets the following
conditions:
• The collection is voluntary;
• The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and low-cost for both the
respondents and the Federal
government;
• The collection is noncontroversial
and does not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
• The collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
2 Section 358 of the USA PATRIOT Act expanded
the purpose of the BSA, by including a reference
to reports and records ‘‘that have a high degree of
usefulness in intelligence or counterintelligence
activities to protect against international terrorism.’’
Section 6101 of the AML Act added language
further expanding the purpose of the BSA.

FinCEN must indicate the qualitative
nature of the information);

used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collection
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.

An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information,
unless the collection of information
displays a valid OMB control number.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are
invited on: (a) whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize burden on respondents,

5 FinCEN anticipates it will send surveys to
approximately 15,000 BSA-regulated financial
institutions over the three-year period requested for
approval of this OMB control number.
6 FinCEN anticipates, on average, sending ten
surveys per year to approximately 500 respondents
per survey. Over the three-year period requested for
approval of this OMB control number that equates
to 15,000 responses.
7 FinCEN anticipates the surveys will average 15
to 40 minutes to complete, so FinCEN will
conservatively approximate 10,000 burden hours

approval of this OMB control number (40 minutes
multiplied by 15,000 responses converted to hours).
