Abstract: Under 31 U.S.C. 5313, the Secretary is authorized to require financial institutions to report certain currency transactions. Regulations implementing 31 U.S.C. 5313 are found at 31 CFR 1010.310 through 1010.314, 31 CFR 1021.311, and 31 CFR 1021.313. The Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 amended the BSA to create certain mandatory exemptions applicable to banks from the requirement for financial institutions to file currency transaction reports (CTRs), and to give the Secretary authority to create additional such exemptions. Regulations implementing this exemption authority, including by requiring the collection of information on FinCEN Form 110, Designation of Exempt Person (DOEP Report), are found at 31 CFR 1020.315.
