Financial Crimes Enforcement Network June 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations-Requirement That Clerks of Court Report Certain Currency Transactions
Document Number: 2012-13783
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-06-07
Agency: Department of the Treasury, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
FinCEN is amending the rules relating to the reporting of certain currency transactions consistent with a recent statutory amendment authorizing FinCEN to require clerks of court to file such reports with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Such information already is required to be reported by clerks of court pursuant to regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service (``IRS''), but FinCEN heretofore has been limited in its ability to access and share further that information because of minor differences between the relevant statutory authorities applicable to FinCEN and the IRS.
Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations-Exemption From the Requirement To Report Transactions in Currency
Document Number: 2012-13781
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-06-07
Agency: Department of the Treasury, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
FinCEN is issuing this final rule to amend the regulations that allow depository institutions to exempt transactions of certain payroll customers \1\ from the requirement to report transactions in currency in excess of $10,000. The rule substitutes the term ``frequently'' for ``regularly'' in the provision of the exemption rules dealing with payroll customers. This modification of the exemption procedures is a part of the Department of the Treasury's continuing effort to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing policies.
