Editor’s Note
This article serves as a reminder that, as of April 1, 2013, all required FinCEN reports must be filed electronically through the BSA E-Filing System, as legacy reports are no longer accepted. The reorganization of the BSA regulations into a new chapter does not change existing legal obligations.
As of April 1, 2013, financial institutions must use the new FinCEN reports, which are available only electronically through the BSA E-Filing System. FinCEN is no longer accepting legacy reports.
The transfer and reorganization of the BSA regulations from 31 CFR Part 103 to 31 CFR Chapter X has not altered the legal effect of any regulatory obligation nor has it imposed any new regulatory obligations on financial institutions. This includes the legal effect of FinCEN’s interim final rule for dealers of precious metals, stones, or jewels, as further clarified by FinCEN Ruling 2006-001.
