SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Registration of Money Services Business.
    OMB Number: Unassigned.
    Form Number: TD F 90-22.55.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8500.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 8500.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The estimated number of responses is for the year in which a 
registration form must be filed; because the form is generally 
required to be filed only every other year, the estimated annual 
number of responses would be lower.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Reporting average of 30 
minutes per response; recordkeeping average of 15 minutes per response. 
Estimated total annual burden hours: Reporting burden of 4250 hours; 
recordkeeping burden of 2125 hours, for an estimated combined total of 
6375 hours.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The estimated burden is for the year in which a registration 
form must be filed; because the form is generally required to be 
filed only every other year, the estimated annual burden would be 
lower.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid OMB control number. Records required to be 
retained under the Bank Secrecy Act must be retained for five years. 
Generally, information collected pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act is 
confidential, but may be shared as provided by law with regulatory and 
law enforcement authorities.

Request for Comments

    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates 
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance and 
purchase of services to provide information.

    Dated: October 4, 2001.
