The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the
U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve Board are
seeking comments on a proposal to amend the definitions of "funds
transfer" and "transmittal of funds" under the regulations implementing
the Bank Secrecy Act. The proposed amendments are necessary to
maintain the current scope of funds transfers and transmittals subject to
the Bank Secrecy Act in light of amendments to the Electronic Fund
Transfer Act made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act.
Comments on the proposed rule are due January 25, 2013.
