Terms of Clearance: Since the change in burden is “due to a reduction in the number of OCC community banks and the elimination of the burden calculation estimates for mid-sized and large banks,” OMB has reclassified it as an adjustment. OMB has also eliminated the cost burden, which was an improper monetization of the hour burden.

Abstract: The MLR enhances the ability of examiners and bank management to identify and evaluate any Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering risks associated with the banks' products, services, customers, and locations. As new products and services are introduced, existing products and services change, and the banks expand through mergers and acquisitions, management's evaluation of money laundering and terrorist financing risks must evolve as well. Absent appropriate controls, such as this risk assessment, these lines of business, products, or entities could elevate Bank Secrecy/Anti-Money Laundering risks.
