Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice is given pursuant
to the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act and Executive Order
12866 (‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review’’), which require the publication
by the Department of a semiannual
agenda of regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
Agency contact identified in the item
relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
semiannual regulatory agenda includes
regulations that the Department has
SUMMARY:
issued or expects to issue and rules
currently in effect that are under
departmental or bureau review.
Beginning with the fall 2007 edition,
the internet has been the primary
medium for disseminating the Unified
Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda
will be available online at
www.reginfo.gov and
www.regulations.gov, in a format that
offers users an enhanced ability to
obtain information from the Agenda
database. Because publication in the
Federal Register is mandated for the
regulatory flexibility agenda required by
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
602), Treasury’s printed agenda entries
include only:
(1) Rules that are in the regulatory
flexibility agenda, in accordance with
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because
they are likely to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities; and
(2) Rules that have been identified for
periodic review under section 610 of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to
fields that contain information required
by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s
Agenda requirements. Additional
information on these entries is available
in the Unified Agenda available on the
internet.
The semiannual agenda of the
Department of the Treasury conforms to
the Unified Agenda format developed
by the Regulatory Information Service
Center (RISC).

U.S.C. 1951 to 1960; 31 U.S.C. 5311 to
5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336
Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue an
NPRM entitled Revisions to Customer
Due Diligence Requirements for
Financial Institutions, relating to
Section 6403(d) of the Corporate
Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA was
enacted into law as part of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2021 (NDAA). Section 6403(d) of
the CTA requires FinCEN to revise its
customer due diligence (CDD)
requirements for financial institutions to
account for the changes created by the
two other rulemakings FinCEN is
required to issue pursuant to the CTA.
With regard to the first required
rulemaking, FinCEN issued a final rule
entitled ‘‘Beneficial Ownership
Information Reporting Requirements’’
(BOI reporting rule). The second
required rulemaking relates to access by
authorized recipients to beneficial
ownership information (BOI) that will
be reported to FinCEN and the use of
FinCEN identifiers. FinCEN previously
issued an ANPRM entitled Beneficial
Ownership Information Reporting
Requirements on April 5, 2021, that
solicited comments on a wide range of

questions that concerned all three
rulemakings. FinCEN also previously
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
with the same title on December 8, 2021
(BOI Reporting NPRM) that addressed
only the first of the three rulemakings,
but the comments FinCEN received
related to all three subjects. The
proposed rule reflects FinCEN’s
consideration of public comments that
have been received in response to the
ANPRM and BOI Reporting NPRM. The
CTA requires that the revisions to the
CDD requirements be finalized within
one year after the effective date of the
BOI reporting rule.

Final Rule in order to implement
Section 6212 of the Anti-Money
Laundering Act of 2020 (the AML Act).
This section amends the Bank Secrecy
Act (31 U.S.C. 5318(g)) to establish a
pilot program that permits financial
institutions to share suspicious activity
report (SAR) information with their
foreign branches, subsidiaries, and
affiliates for the purpose of combating
illicit finance risks. The section further
requires the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue rules to implement the
amendment within one year of
enactment of the AML Act.

U.S.C. 1951 to 1960; 31 U.S.C. 5311 to

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a
final rule entitled Beneficial Ownership
Information Access and Safeguards, and
Use of FinCEN Identifiers for Entities.
The proposed regulations will establish
protocols to protect the security and
confidentiality of the beneficial
ownership information (BOI) that will
be reported to FinCEN pursuant to
Section 6403 of the Corporate
Transparency Act (CTA), and will
establish the framework for authorized
recipients’ access to the BOI reported.
The final rule will also specify when
and how reporting companies can use
FinCEN identifiers to report the BOI of
entities. The CTA was enacted into law
as part of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021
(NDAA). This rule is the second of three
rulemakings FinCEN is required to issue
under the CTA. With regard to the first
required rulemaking, FinCEN issued a
final rule entitled ‘‘Beneficial
Ownership Information Reporting
Requirements’’ (BOI reporting rule).
The third required rulemaking will
revise the customer due diligence (CDD)
requirements for financial institutions.
FinCEN previously issued an Advance
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(ANPRM) entitled Beneficial Ownership
Information Reporting Requirements on
April 5, 2021, that solicited comments
on a wide range of questions that
concerned all three rulemakings.
FinCEN also previously issued a Notice

Funding) [1506–AB36]

U.S.C. 1951 to 1960; 31 U.S.C. 5311 to
5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5332
Abstract: FinCEN is finalizing
amendments to the regulatory
definitions of ‘‘broker or dealer in
securities’’ under the regulations
implementing the Bank Secrecy Act.
The changes are intended to expand the
current scope of the definitions to
include funding portals involved in the
offering or selling of securities through
crowdfunding pursuant to section
4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. In
addition, these amendments would
require funding portals to implement
policies and procedures reasonably
designed to achieve compliance with all
of the Bank Secrecy Act requirements
that are currently applicable to brokers
or dealers in securities. The rule to
require these organizations to comply
with the Bank Secrecy Act regulations is
intended to help prevent money
laundering, terrorist financing, and
other financial crimes.
Note: This is not a new requirement; it
replaces RINs 1506–AB24 and 1506–AB29.

Abstract: The Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and FinCEN
(collectively, the ‘‘Agencies’’) intend to
issue a revised proposal to clarify the
meaning of ‘‘money’’ as used in the
rules implementing the Bank Secrecy
Act requiring financial institutions to
collect, retain, and transmit information
on certain funds transfers and
transmittals of funds. The Agencies
intend that the revised proposal will
ensure that the rules apply to domestic
and cross-border transactions involving
convertible virtual currency, which is a
medium of exchange (such as
cryptocurrency) that either has an
equivalent value as currency, or acts as
a substitute for currency, but lacks legal
tender status. The Agencies further
intend that the revised proposal will
clarify that these rules apply to
domestic and cross-border transactions
involving digital assets that have legal
tender status.

171. MEPs and the Unified Plan Rule
[1545–BO97]
Legal Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805; 26
U.S.C. 413
Abstract: These proposed regulations
provide guidance relating to the tax
qualification of multiple employer plans
(MEPs) described in section 413(e) of
the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The
proposed regulations would provide an
exception, if certain requirements are
met, to the application of the ‘‘unified
plan rule’’ for section 413(e) MEPs in
the event of a failure by one or more
participating employers to take actions
required of them to satisfy the
requirements of section 401(a) or 408 of
the Code. The regulations affect
participants in MEPs, MEP sponsors and
administrators, and employers
maintaining MEPs.

Semiannual Agenda
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory
Planning and Review''), which require the publication by the Department
of a semiannual agenda of regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Agency contact identified in the
item relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The semiannual regulatory agenda includes
regulations that the Department has issued or expects to issue and
rules currently in effect that are under departmental or bureau review.
Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the internet has been the
primary medium for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete
Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov and
www.regulations.gov, in a format that offers users an enhanced ability
to obtain information from the Agenda database. Because publication in
the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agenda
required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Treasury's
printed agenda entries include only:
(1) Rules that are in the regulatory flexibility agenda, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities; and
(2) Rules that have been identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in
the Unified Agenda available on the internet.
The semiannual agenda of the Department of the Treasury conforms to
the Unified Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information
Service Center (RISC).

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) as part of the establishment of national exam and supervision
priorities. The proposed rule implements Section 6101(b) of the Anti-
Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act), enacted into law as part of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA), that
requires the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to issue and
promulgate rules for financial institutions to carry out the
government-wide anti-money laundering and countering the financing of
terrorism priorities (AML/CFT Priorities). The proposed rule: (i)
incorporates a risk assessment requirement for financial institutions;
(ii) requires financial institutions to incorporate AML/CFT Priorities
into risk-based programs; and (iii) provides for certain technical
changes. Once finalized, this proposed rule will affect all financial
institutions subject to regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act and have
AML/CFT program obligations.

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue an NPRM entitled Revisions to
Customer Due Diligence Requirements for Financial Institutions,
relating to Section 6403(d) of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
The CTA was enacted into law as part of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA). Section 6403(d) of the
CTA requires FinCEN to revise its customer due diligence (CDD)
requirements for financial institutions to account for the changes
created by the two other rulemakings FinCEN is required to issue
pursuant to the CTA. With regard to the first required rulemaking,
FinCEN issued a final rule entitled ``Beneficial Ownership Information
Reporting Requirements'' (BOI reporting rule). The second required
rulemaking relates to access by authorized recipients to beneficial
ownership information (BOI) that will be reported to FinCEN and the use
of FinCEN identifiers. FinCEN previously issued an ANPRM entitled
Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements on April 5,
2021, that solicited comments on a wide range of
[[Page 48594]]
questions that concerned all three rulemakings. FinCEN also previously
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with the same title on December
8, 2021 (BOI Reporting NPRM) that addressed only the first of the three
rulemakings, but the comments FinCEN received related to all three
subjects. The proposed rule reflects FinCEN's consideration of public
comments that have been received in response to the ANPRM and BOI
Reporting NPRM. The CTA requires that the revisions to the CDD
requirements be finalized within one year after the effective date of
the BOI reporting rule.

Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a Final Rule in order to
implement Section 6212 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (the
AML Act). This section amends the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5318(g))
to establish a pilot program that permits financial institutions to
share suspicious activity report (SAR) information with their foreign
branches, subsidiaries, and affiliates for the purpose of combating
illicit finance risks. The section further requires the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue rules to implement the amendment within one year
of enactment of the AML Act.

5311 to 5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336
Abstract: FinCEN intends to issue a final rule entitled Beneficial
Ownership Information Access and Safeguards, and Use of FinCEN
Identifiers for Entities. The proposed regulations will establish
protocols to protect the security and confidentiality of the beneficial
ownership information (BOI) that will be reported to FinCEN pursuant to
Section 6403 of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), and will
establish the framework for authorized recipients' access to the BOI
reported. The final rule will also specify when and how reporting
companies can use FinCEN identifiers to report the BOI of entities. The
CTA was enacted into law as part of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA). This rule is the second of three
rulemakings FinCEN is required to issue under the CTA. With regard to
the first required rulemaking, FinCEN issued a final rule entitled
``Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements'' (BOI
reporting rule).
The third required rulemaking will revise the customer due
diligence (CDD) requirements for financial institutions. FinCEN
previously issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM)
entitled Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements on
April 5, 2021, that solicited comments on a wide range of questions
that concerned all three rulemakings. FinCEN also previously issued a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with the same title on December 8, 2021
(BOI Reporting NPRM) that addressed only the first of the three
rulemakings, but the comments FinCEN received related to all three
subjects. This rule reflects FinCEN's consideration of public comments
that have been received in response to the ANPRM and BOI Reporting
NPRM, as well as to the NPRM for Beneficial Ownership Information
Access and Safeguards.

Abstract: FinCEN is finalizing amendments to the regulatory
definitions of ``broker or dealer in securities'' under the regulations
implementing the Bank Secrecy Act. The changes are intended to expand
the current scope of the definitions to include funding portals
involved in the offering or selling of securities through crowdfunding
pursuant to section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition,
these amendments would require funding portals to implement policies
and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with all of
the Bank Secrecy Act requirements that are currently applicable to
brokers or dealers in securities. The rule to require these
organizations to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act regulations is
intended to help prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and
other financial crimes.

Abstract: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and

proposal to clarify the meaning of ``money'' as used in the rules
implementing the Bank Secrecy Act requiring financial institutions to
collect, retain, and transmit information on certain funds transfers
and transmittals of funds. The Agencies intend that the revised
proposal will ensure that the rules apply to domestic and cross-border
transactions involving convertible virtual currency, which is a medium
of exchange (such as cryptocurrency) that either has an equivalent
value as currency, or acts as a substitute for currency, but lacks
legal tender status. The Agencies further intend that the revised
proposal will clarify that these rules apply to domestic and cross-
border transactions involving digital assets that have legal tender
status.

the trade of antiquities, including an advisor, consultant, or any
other person who engages as a business in the solicitation or the sale
of antiquities, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of
the Treasury. The section further requires the Secretary of the

Legal Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805; 26 U.S.C. 413
Abstract: These proposed regulations provide guidance relating to

MEPs in the event of a failure by one or more participating employers
to take actions required of them to satisfy the requirements of section
401(a) or 408 of the Code. The regulations affect participants in MEPs,
MEP sponsors and administrators, and employers maintaining MEPs.
