Upon a finding that additional
reporting or recordkeeping is necessary to carry out the purposes,
or prevent the evasion, of the Bank Secrecy Act, Treasury may issue
an order requiring financial institutions or groups of financial
institutions in certain geographic locations to report certain
transactions in prescribed amounts for a limited period of time (31
CFR 103.26). Financial institutions subject to a geographic
targeting order must maintain records for such period of time as
the order requires but not more than 5 years (31 CFR 103.33(d)).
Although the burden is stated as an annual burden in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the estimated annual burden is
not intended to indicate that there is a geographic targeting order
in effect throughout a year or in each year
The burden for 31 CFR 103.26
was commingled with other PRA burden in 1506-0009
