Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are fewer federally insured credit unions than there were when the last approval for a collection of information was made. Therefore, the number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect this decline. Credit unions continue to adjust their membership base, the products and services they offer and the geographical locations they service, thus increasing the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) Risk to the credit unions. Advances in the technological aspects of mobile banking and electronic payments have also increased this risk. Due to the increased BSA/AML Risk to the credit unions, it is expected that the credit unions would revisit and revise their BSA/AML compliance programs accordingly to address these added risks. The amount of time it takes the credit unions to review and assess the existing program as well as any additional risk related to expanded products, services, membership, etc. has been revised to more accurately reflect the burden to the credit unions. It is noted that credit unions vary in size, complexity, and BSA risk, thus the 16 hours is an average estimate of the amount of the burden.
