Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5318(h)(1), financial institutions must establish AML/CFT programs to guard against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Such programs must include, at a minimum: (a) the development of internal policies, procedures, and controls; (b) the designation of a compliance officer; (c) an ongoing employee training program; and (d) an independent audit function to test programs. On March 12, 1993, FinCEN issued regulations, under separate statutory authority codified at 31 U.S.C. 5318(a)(2), requiring casinos to develop and implement written BSA compliance programs. FinCEN subsequently amended those regulations after passage of the USA PATRIOT Act to state that a casino would be “deemed to satisfy the requirements of 31 U.S.C. 5318(h)(1) if it implements and maintains” an AML program, as described in” 31 CFR 1021.210(b).

The estimated total annual burden hours increased from 99,466 hours in 2020 to 127,912 hours in 2024. The estimated burden for casinos to implement and maintain an AML compliance program remained at approximately 100 hours per casino, with 5 minutes to store the written AML program and 5 minutes to produce the written program upon request. The increase in burden is due to an increase in the number of casinos from 993 in 2020 to 1,277 in 2024.
