and certain other financial institutions
operating in the United States to report
known or suspected criminal activities

12 CFR 748.1 (NCUA); and 31 CFR
103.18 (FinCEN). The regulations were
issued under the authority contained in
the following statutes: 12 U.S.C1818–
1820 (FDIC); 12 U.S.C. 248(a)(1), 625,
1818, 1844(c), 3105(c)(2) and 3106(a)
