(1)to obtain such information as the Secretary may describe in such order concerning—
(A)any transaction in which such financial institution or nonfinancial trade or business is involved for the payment, receipt, or transfer of funds (as the Secretary may describe in such order), the total amounts or denominations of which are equal to or greater than an amount which the Secretary may prescribe; and
(B)any other person participating in such transaction;
(2)to maintain a record of such information for such period of time as the Secretary may require; and
(3)to file a report with respect to any transaction described in paragraph (1)(A) in the manner and to the extent specified in the order.
(b)Authority To Order Depository Institutions To Obtain Reports From Customers.—
(1)In general.— The Secretary of the Treasury may, by regulation or order, require any depository institution (as defined in section 3(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act)—
(A)to request any financial institution or nonfinancial trade or business (other than a depository institution) which engages in any reportable transaction with the depository institution to provide the depository institution with a copy of any report filed by the financial institution or nonfinancial trade or business under this subtitle with respect to any prior transaction (between such financial institution or nonfinancial trade or business and any other person) which involved any portion of the funds which are involved in the reportable transaction with the depository institution; and
(B)if no copy of any report described in subparagraph
(A)is received by the depository institution in connection with any reportable transaction to which such subparagraph applies, to submit (in addition to any report required under this subtitle with respect to the reportable transaction) a written notice to the Secretary that the financial institution or nonfinancial trade or business failed to provide any copy of such report.
(2)Reportable transaction defined.— For purposes of this subsection, the term “reportable transaction” means any transaction involving funds (as the Secretary may describe in the regulation or order) the total amounts or denominations of which are equal to or greater than an amount which the Secretary may prescribe.
