We have combined the information collections contained in the two proposed Bank Secrecy Act NPRM's falling in Part 103 of 31 CFR and submitted separately to OMB on August 25, 1993. This review action therefore will include collections contained in Sections 103.11, 103.2 103.33(h)(1)(i) through (iii), 103.33(e), 103.33(f), and 103.33(g) as submitted. The requested burden changes for these sections has been combined. The expiration date of this docket continues to be January 1996 to indicate that the collections approved January 1, 1993 continu to be approved excepting as modified by this submission. We are approving these collections with the understanding that the Department will respond to public comments by: 1) delaying implementation sufficiently to ensure that fund transfers systems have been modified as planned to accommodate the messages required by these regulations and to provide adequate time for programing and training staff, 2) provide nonbanking institutions making wire transfe equal treat with banks with respect to the identification of regular customers, and 3) provide a cutoff for the identification of small customers such as tourists with a need for cash in emergency situation
