Abstract: FinCEN, to comply with the congressional mandate to prescribe regulations under section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 ("CISADA") and consistent with its statutory mission under 31 U.S.C. 310, is proposing to issue regulations that would require a U.S. bank that maintains a correspondent account for a foreign bank to inquire of the foreign bank, and report to FinCEN, with respect to whether the foreign bank maintains a correspondent account for, or has processed one or more transfers of funds within the preceding 90 calendar days, other than through a correspondent account, related to any financial institution designated by the U.S. Government in connection with Iran's proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, or in connection with Iran's support for international terrorism. In addition, FinCEN is proposing to require a U.S. bank that maintains a correspondent account for a foreign bank to inquire of the foreign bank, and report to FinCEN, with respect to whether the foreign bank has processed one or more transfers of funds within the preceding 90 calendar days related to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC") or any of its agents or affiliates designated by the U.S. Government. Under the proposed regulations, U.S. banks will only be required to report this information to FinCEN upon receiving a specific written request from FinCEN.

Short Statement: New statutory requirement. The two ICs capture the two different means by which respondents may submit the reuqired information. The agency currently has no way to determine how many respondents will opt for the model certification or other means of submission, so the burden is currently split evenly between the two options. The change due to agency adjustment is due to an amendment to the ICR to reflect that split.
