This information collection associated
with Regulation K requires Edge and agreement corporations and U.S.
branches, agencies, and other offices of foreign banks supervised
by the Federal Reserve to establish and maintain procedures
reasonably designed to ensure and monitor compliance with the Bank
Secrecy Act and related regulations.
The Federal Reserve proposes to
revise the Recordkeeping Requirements Associated with Sections
211.5(m)(1) and 211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K by combining the
renewal of those requirements with the recordkeeping requirements
in Section 208.63 of Regulation H. The information collection would
be renamed the Recordkeeping Requirements of Regulation H and
Regulation K Associated with Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Programs.
The substantive requirements of Sections 211.5(m)(1) and
211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K and Section 208.63 of Regulation H,
including the institutions to which the respective sections apply,
would remain unchanged.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
