Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations Relating to Recordkeeping for Funds Transfers and Transmittals of Funds by Financial Institutions — 1995-08-24 [95-20841]

On January 3, 1995, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) jointly published a final rule that requires enhanced recordkeeping related to certain funds transfers and transmittals of funds by financial institutions, effective January 1, 1996. (60 FR 220). The Treasury and the Board have delayed the effective date of the joint final rule until April 1, 1996, because of the uncertainty by financial institutions as to their responsibilities under the joint final rule with respect to international transfers pending final action on proposed amendments to the rule, which are published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
