Description

Since 9/11, the U.S. has established tools to address the threat to the U.S. financial system of money laundering and terrorist financing. One tool is Sect. 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, which authorizes the Treasury Dept. to prohibit U.S. financial institutions from maintaining certain accounts for foreign banks if they involve foreign jurisdictions or institutions found to be of primary money laundering concern. To make this finding, Treasury examines several factors and issues a proposed rule announcing its intent to apply Sect. 311 restrictions. This report examines: (1) the process used to implement Sect. 311 restrictions; (2) the process Treasury follows to finalize or withdraw a proposed rule; and (3) how Treasury assesses the impact of Sect. 311.
