SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)

    Title: Imposition of Special Measure against Bank of Dandong as a 
Financial Institution of Primary Money Laundering Concern.
    OMB Control Number: 1506-0072.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: FinCEN issued a final rule on November 8, 2017, 
imposing the fifth special measure to prohibit U.S. financial 
institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for, 
or on behalf of, Bank of Dandong. The rule requires that covered U.S. 
financial institutions apply due diligence to correspondent accounts 
they maintain on behalf of foreign financial institutions that is 
reasonably designed to guard against the indirect use of those accounts 
by Bank of Dandong. Covered U.S. financial institutions are required 
under 31 CFR 1010.660(b)(3)(i)(A) to notify holders of foreign 
correspondent accounts that they may not provide Bank of Dandong with 
access to such accounts. The requirement is intended to ensure 
cooperation from correspondent account holders in denying Bank of 
Dandong access to the U.S. financial system. Covered U.S. financial 
institutions are required under 31 CFR 1010.660(b)(4)(i) to document 
compliance with the notification requirement. The information is used 
by federal agencies and certain self-regulatory organizations to verify 
compliance with 31 CFR 1010.660.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 15,876.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 15,876.
