FinCEN Submits Renewal of Recordkeeping Requirement
Thu January 21, 2021
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) published in the Jan. 21 Federal Register a notice and request for comments for the proposed renewal, without change, of its currently approved recordkeeping requirement for the issuance or sale of bank checks and drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, and traveler’s checks when the issuance or sale involves the use of currency in an amount between $3,000 and $10,000 inclusive. Although no changes are proposed to the information collection itself, the request for comments covers a future expansion of the scope of the annual hourly burden and cost estimate associated with these regulations. Comments will be accepted for 60 days, through March 22, 2021.
