Title: Information Sharing Between Government Agencies and Financial Institutions.
OMB Control Number: 1506-0049.
Abstract: FinCEN is issuing this notice to renew the OMB control number for regulations requiring information sharing between government agencies and financial institutions.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and non-profit institutions.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Frequency: As required.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 14,960.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden: In general, FinCEN receives requests from law enforcement, reviews those requests, posts those requests on a secure internet website, and sends notifications to designated contacts within financial institutions across the United States once every two weeks. Financial institutions must query their records for data matches, including accounts maintained by the named subject during the preceding 12 months and transactions conducted within the last six months. Financial institutions have two weeks from the posting date of the request to respond with any positive matches. FinCEN estimates that it will take approximately 4 minutes to research and report, as necessary, each subject of a 314(a) request. FinCEN has been estimating a burden of 4 minutes per subject in PRA renewals since the expansion of the rule in 2010.
Estimated Burden Hours per Respondent: 24 hours annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 363,827.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $34,563,565.
