(see 31 CFR 1020.320, 1021.320, 1022.320, 1023.320, 1024.320, 1025.320, 
1026.320, 1029.320, and 1030.320).
    OMB Number: 1506-0065.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The SAR regulatory reporting requirements are currently 
covered under the following OMB Control numbers: 1506-0001 
(Depository Institutions), 1506-0006 (Casinos and Card Clubs), 1506-
0015 (Money Services Business), 1506-0019 (Securities and Futures 
Industries), 1506-0029 (Insurance Companies), and 1506-0061 
(Residential Mortgage Lenders and Originators). Housing GSE's are 
not subject to the PRA. OMB Control number 1506-0065 applies to the 
SAR report, not the regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Form Number: FinCEN 111.
    Abstract: The statute generally referred to as 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. 5311-5332, authorizes 
the Secretary of the Treasury, inter alia, to require financial 
institutions to keep records and file reports that are determined to 
have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, and regulatory 
matters, or in the conduct of intelligence or counter-intelligence 
activities, to protect against international terrorism, and to 
implement anti-money laundering programs and compliance procedures.\2\ 
Regulations implementing Title II of the BSA appear at 31 CFR Chapter 
X. The Secretary has delegated to the Director of FinCEN the authority 
to administer the BSA.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Language expanding the scope of the BSA to intelligence or 
counter-intelligence activities to protect against international 
terrorism was added by Section 358 of the Uniting and Strengthening 
America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and 
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the USA PATRIOT Act), Public Law 
107-56.
    \3\ Treasury Order 180-01 (Sept. 26, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collected on the ``report'' is required to be 
provided pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5318(g), as implemented by FinCEN 
regulations 31 CFR 1020.320, Sec.  1021.320, Sec.  1022.320, Sec.  
1023.320, Sec.  1024.320, Sec.  1025.320, Sec.  1026.320, Sec.  
1029.320, and Sec.  1030.320. The information collected under this 
requirement is made available to appropriate agencies and organizations 
as disclosed in FinCEN's Privacy Act System of Records Notice relating 
to BSA Reports.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Department of the Treasury bureaus such as FinCEN renew 
their System of Records Notices every three years unless there is 
cause to amend them more frequently. FinCEN's System of Records 
Notice for BSA Reports System was most recently published at 79 FR 
20969 (April 14, 2014).
