Short Statement: The increase in suspicious activity has resulted in an increase in total filings. The increase in the total number of responses is due to the credit unions' increased awareness of the requirement of when to file a SAR, as well as improved suspicious activity monitoring systems. Due to the changes in the BSA-SAR, the annual burden was increased from 1 hour to two hours per response to allow for additional time to become familiar with the completion of the new form.
