Each financial institution must retain
an original or copy of records related to extensions of credit in
excess of $10,000 (other than those secured by real property), and
records related to transfers of funds, currency, other monetary
instruments, checks, investment securities, or credit of more than
$10,000 to or from the United States (31 CFR 1010.410(a)-(d)).
Banks and non-bank financial institutions must also maintain
records related to, and include certain information as part of,
funds transfers or transmittals of funds involving more than $3,000
(31 CFR 1010.410(e)-(f)). In addition, under 31 CFR 1022.420, each
provider or seller of prepaid access is required to maintain access
to transactional records generated in the ordinary course of
business that would be needed to reconstruct prepaid access
activation, loads, reloads, purchases, withdrawals, transfers, or
other prepaid-related transactions.
The total annual burden hours
decreased by 295,458 hours from 2,150,200 hours in 2017 to
1,854,742 hours in 2020, although the annual hourly burden
estimates for each regulatory requirement remained the same as in
2017. The reduction in burden is solely a result of a decrease in
the number of financial institutions from 94,600 in 2017 to 64,493
in 2020.
