Under 31 U.S.C. 5318(g), the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to require financial institutions to report any suspicious transaction relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation. Regulations implementing 31 U.S.C. 5318(g) are found at 31 CFR 1020.320, 1021.320, 1022.320, 1023.320, 1024.320, 1025.320, 1026.320, 1029.320, and 1030.320. These transactions are reported on FinCEN Report 111- Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). Financial institutions submit SARs to FinCEN electronically via the BSA E-filing system. The SAR regulatory reporting requirements are currently covered under the following OMB control numbers: 1506-0001 (31 CFR 1020.320 – Reports by banks of suspicious transactions); 1506-0006 (31 CFR 1021.320 – Reports by casinos of suspicious transactions); 1506-0015 (31 CFR 1022.320 – Reports by money services businesses of suspicious transactions); 1506-0019 (31 CFR 1023.320 – Reports by brokers or dealers in securities of suspicious transactions, 31 CFR 1024.320 – Reports by mutual funds of suspicious transactions, and 31 CFR 1026.320 – Reports by futures commission merchants and introducing brokers in commodities of suspicious transactions); 1506-0029 (31 CFR 1025.320 – Reports by insurance companies of suspicious transactions); and 1506-0061 (31 CFR 1029.320 – Reports by loan or finance companies of suspicious transactions). OMB control number 1506-0065 applies to FinCEN Report 111 – SAR. An administrative burden of one hour is assigned to each of the SAR regulation OMB control numbers in order to maintain the requirements in force. The reporting and recordkeeping burdens are reflected in FinCEN Report 111 – Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”) under OMB control number 1506-0065. The rationale for assigning one burden hour to each of the SAR regulation OMB control numbers is that the annual burden hours would be double counted if FinCEN estimated burden in the industry SAR regulation OMB control numbers and in the SAR OMB control number.

In prior renewals, FinCEN limited its annual SAR burden estimate to the SAR filing process. In this renewal, FinCEN expanded the burden estimate to include the burden to (i) evaluate cases for potential SAR filing, and (ii) create and maintain records of cases that are not converted into SARs. More specifically, the burden estimate in this renewal includes the burden involved in evaluating cases to determine whether or not the event constitutes a suspicious activity that must be reported, and documenting the decision that led the financial institution to conclude that an event did not warrant filing a SAR. The burden estimate also includes the burden involved in the following aspects of the SAR filing process: (a) selecting supporting documentation; (b) completing the report, including drafting the narrative; (c) filing the report through batch or discrete filing; and (d) storing the filed report and supporting documentation in physical or electronic form. For a more detailed explanation of the methodology to estimate the burden associated with this renewal of the SAR regulations and report see 85 FR 31598 (May 26, 2020).
