Abstract: The OCC conducts an annual data collection, known as the Money Laundering Risk (MLR) System, from community banks (which include both national banks and federal savings associations) to assist OCC examiners in supervising Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions compliance. The MLR system enhances the ability of examiners and bank management to identify and evaluate BSA/money laundering and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions risks associated with banks’ products, services, customers, and geographies.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The change in burden was due to the decrease in the community bank population, and the removal of estimated burdens for the midsize and large bank populations and federal branches and agencies. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of BSA and anti-money laundering compliance, the OCC will continue working to develop an optimal framework for MLR data collection from midsize and large bank populations and federal branches and agencies that will support OCC’s risk-based supervision.
