Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Renewal; Comment Request; Renewal Without Change of Reports of Transactions With Foreign Financial Agencies

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Treasury.

Notice and request for comments.

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, FinCEN invites comments on the proposed renewal, without change, of certain existing information collection requirements found in Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations. Specifically, the regulations authorize the Secretary of the Treasury, as appropriate, to promulgate regulations requiring specified financial institutions to file reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of certain transactions with designated foreign financial agencies. Although no changes are proposed to the information collection itself, this request for comments covers proposed changes in the methods that FinCEN uses to estimate reporting and recordkeeping burdens. This request for comments is made pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Written comments are welcome and must be received on or before July 22, 2025.

Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

• Federal E-rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. Refer to Docket Number FINCEN-2025-0006 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 1506-0055.
• Mail: Policy Division, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, P.O. Box 39, Vienna, VA 22183. Refer to Docket Number FINCEN-2025-0006 and OMB control number 1506-0055.

Please submit comments by one method only. Comments will generally become a matter of public record. For this reason, please do not include in your comments information of a confidential nature, such as sensitive personal information or proprietary information. A comment about the burden posed to a financial institution by a specific regulation requiring the reporting of certain transactions with designated foreign financial agencies, issued under the general regulation that is the subject of this notice, but that does not describe in detail the specific regulation or the reporting requirement imposed by that specific regulation, will not be considered to contain confidential information.
