Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; Expansion of Special Information Sharing Procedures to Deter Money Laundering and Terrorist Activity

31 CFR Part 103. RIN 1506-AB04 Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments, November 13, 2009

  • SUMMARY: FinCEN is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the relevant Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) information sharing rules to allow certain foreign law enforcement agencies, and State and local law enforcement agencies, to submit requests for information to financial institutions. The rule also clarifies that FinCEN itself, on its own behalf and on behalf of other appropriate components of the Department of the Treasury, may submit such requests. Modification of the information sharing rules 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.”
