Abstract: 31 U.S.C. 5318(l) requires the Secretary to issue regulations prescribing minimum standards for customer identification programs (CIPs) for financial institutions. Regulations implementing section 5318(l) are as follows: (i) banks (31 CFR 1020.220); (ii) brokers-dealers (31 CFR 1023.220); (iii) mutual funds (31 CFR 1024.220); and (iv) futures commission merchants and introducing brokers in commodities (31 CFR 1026.220). Under the CIP regulations, the minimum requirements include: 1) implementation of a written customer identification program appropriate for the financial institution’s size and type of business; 2) identity verification procedures; 3) recordkeeping; 4) comparison with government lists; and 5) customer notice. This information collection request applies to CIP requirements for banks.

Short Statement: The estimated total annual burden hours increased from 116,413 hours since the 2020 control number renewal to 2,795,150 hours in 2024. The burden estimates for maintenance (10 hours) and notification (one hour) of CIP remained the same in the 2020 and 2024 renewals. However, the implementation of CIP increased from two minutes per account in 2020 to three minutes per account in 2024. The number of banks in the 2020 renewal was 10,583 and the number of banks in 2024 is 10,400. The primary reason for the increase in burden is because FinCEN was able to obtain an estimate of the number of new bank accounts opened per year (53,615,000) for the 2024 renewal. FinCEN did not have this estimate for banks in the 2020 renewal, so in 2024 there is an increase in burden hours for banks applicable to CIP implementation of 2,680,750 hours.
