The above Estimated Number of Respondents is based on sum of the following numbers: • 5,358 banks [Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Key Statistics web page, April 25, 2019]; • 5,375 federally-insured credit unions [National Credit Union Administration, Quarterly Credit Union Data Summary, December 31, 2018]; • 125 privately-insured credit unions [General Accountability Office, PRIVATE DEPOSIT INUSRANCE: Credit Unions Largely Complied with Disclosure Rules, but Rules Should Be Clarified, March 2017]; • 1,130 introducing brokers [National Futures Association website, March 31, 2019];  Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour. Estimated Total Annual Burden:23,615 hours. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Records required to be retained under the BSA must be retained for five years. Generally, information collected pursuant to the BSA is confidential, but may be shared as provided by law with regulatory and law enforcement authorities. When the final rule was published in March 2007, the number of financial institutions affected by the rule was estimated at 5,000.

As noted, this revision should not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval.
