Summary
FinCEN is extending the comment period for the referenced Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) it published concerning customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions.
Dates
Written comments on the ANPRM must be received on or before June 11, 2012.
Supplementary Information
On March 5, 2012, FinCEN issued an ANPRM seeking comments from interested parties on customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions. 1 FinCEN received several comments on the ANPRM, including several requesting that FinCEN extend the deadline for comments in order to allow interested parties more time in which to comment on the specific issues and questions raised in the ANPRM. 1 See 77 FR 13046 (March 5, 2012), available at . In light of the fact that an extension of the comment period will not impede any imminent rulemaking and will allow additional interested parties to provide comments, FinCEN has determined that it is appropriate in this instance to extend the comment period for an additional thirty (30) days. Thus, comments on the ANPRM may be submitted on or before June 11, 2012. Dated: May 3, 2012. Jamal El-Hindi, Associate Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
