Title: Imposition of Special Measure against Bank of Dandong as a Financial Institution of Primary Money Laundering Concern.
OMB Control Number: 1506-0072.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection.
Description: FinCEN issued a final rule on November 8, 2017, imposing the fifth special measure to prohibit U.S. financial institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for, or on behalf of, Bank of Dandong. The rule requires that covered U.S. financial institutions apply due diligence to correspondent accounts they maintain on behalf of foreign financial institutions that is reasonably designed to guard against the indirect use of those accounts by Bank of Dandong. Covered U.S. financial institutions are required under 31 CFR 1010.660(b)(3)(i)(A) to notify holders of foreign correspondent accounts that they may not provide Bank of Dandong with access to such accounts. The requirement is intended to ensure cooperation from correspondent account holders in denying Bank of Dandong access to the U.S. financial system. Covered U.S. financial institutions are required under 31 CFR 1010.660(b)(4)(i) to document compliance with the notification requirement. The information is used by federal agencies and certain self-regulatory organizations to verify compliance with 31 CFR 1010.660.
