Under 31 U.S.C. 5313, the Secretary is authorized to require financial institutions to report certain currency transactions. Regulations implementing 31 U.S.C. 5313 are found at 31 CFR 1010.310 through 1010.314, 31 CFR 1021.311, and 31 CFR 1021.313. The Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 amended the BSA to create certain mandatory exemptions applicable to banks from the requirement for financial institutions to file currency transaction reports (CTRs), and to give the Secretary authority to create additional such exemptions. Regulations implementing this exemption authority, including by requiring the collection of information on FinCEN Form 110, Designation of Exempt Person (DOEP Report), are found at 31 CFR 1020.315.
The estimated total annual burden decreased by 3,036 hours from 18,141 hours in 2020 to 15,105 hours in 2024, although the annual hourly burden estimates per regulatory requirement remained the same as in 2020 (one hour per report). The reduction in burden is a result of a decrease in the number of reports filed from 18,141 in 2019 to 15,105 in 2023. Additionally, there was a reduction in the number of respondents since the last approval from 11,161 banks in 2019 to 10,062 in 2023.
