SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), FinCEN is soliciting
comments on the collection of
information described below.
Title: Designation of Exempt Person.
OMB Number: 1506–0012.
Form Number: FinCEN Form 110.
Abstract: The Bank Secrecy Act,
Titles I and II of Public Law 91–508, as
amended, codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b,
12 U.S.C. 1951–1959, and 31 U.S.C.
5311–5314; 5316–5332, authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury, among other
things, to issue regulations requiring
records and reports that are determined
to have a high degree of usefulness in
criminal, tax, and regulatory matters.
Regulations implementing Title II of the
Bank Secrecy Act (codified at 31 U.S.C.
5311–5314; 5316–5332) appear at 31
CFR part 103.
The authority of the Secretary to
administer Title II of the Bank Secrecy
Act has been delegated to the Director
of FinCEN.
The reporting by financial institutions
of transactions in currency in excess of
$10,000 has long been a major
component of the Treasury’s
implementation of the Bank Secrecy
Act. The reporting requirement is
imposed by 31 CFR 103.22, a rule issued
under the broad authority granted to the
Secretary of the Treasury by 31 U.S.C.
5313(a) to require reports of domestic
coins and currency transactions.
The Money Laundering Suppression
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Act of 1994, Title IV of the Riegle
Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act (Pub. L.
103–325) amended 31 U.S.C. 5313. The
statutory amendments mandate
exemptions from currency transaction
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:57 Mar 05, 2008 Jkt 214001
reporting in the case of customers that
are other banks, certain governmental
entities, or businesses for which
reporting would serve little or no law
enforcement purpose. The amendments
also authorize Treasury to exempt
certain other businesses.
On September 8, 1997, and September
30, 1998, Treasury issued final rules
regarding these statutory amendments
(62 FR 47141 and 63 FR 50147,
respectively). The final rules reform and
simplify the process by which banks
may exempt eligible customers. The
final rules, as further amended by 65 FR
46356, are set forth at 31 CFR 103.22(d).
Under the simplified exemption rules,
a key requirement is a ‘‘designation’’
sent to the Treasury indicating that a
customer will be treated by the bank as
an exempt person, so that no further
currency transaction reports will be
filed on the customer’s cash transactions
exceeding $10,000. As part of the
simplification process, Treasury
previously issued a form specifically for
making that designation. The
information collected on the form,
Designation of Exempt Person, FinCEN
Form 110, is required to exempt bank
customers from currency transaction
reporting. The information is used to
help determine whether a bank has
properly exempted its customers. The
collection of information is mandatory.
Current Actions: There are no
proposed changes to the current DOEP,
FinCEN Form 110.
The form is available on the FinCEN
website at: http://www.fincen.gov/
forms/fin110_dep.pdf.
Type of Review: Renewal without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-
profit institutions.
Frequency: As required.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
19,000.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
65,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 97,500 hours. (Reporting average
of 30 minutes per response;
recordkeeping average of 1 hour per
response).
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the collection of information is

the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;

of the burden collection of information;
