Short Statement: The burden hours for this information collection increased 7,080 hours (from 23,520 to 30,600 hours). This is due to an anticipated revision of savings associations’ policies and procedures based on the release of a revised FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual in 2010. The revised FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual provides information on new regulatory requirements and guidance issued since the prior update, and supervisory expectations related to BSA/AML obligations. OTS examiners review the written procedures during regularly scheduled examinations in order to ensure the implementation of adequate systems for complying with the BSA and its implementing regulations.
