Semiannual Agenda
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory
Planning and Review''), as amended, which require the publication by
the Department of a semiannual agenda of regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Agency contact identified in the
item relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The semiannual regulatory agenda includes
regulations that the Department has issued or expects to issue and
rules currently in effect that are under departmental or bureau review.
The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a> and <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>, in a format that offers users
an enhanced ability to obtain information from the Agenda database.
Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the
regulatory flexibility agenda required by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Treasury's printed agenda entries include only:
(1) Rules that are in the regulatory flexibility agenda, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities; and
(2) Rules that have been identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in
the Unified Agenda available on the internet.
The semiannual agenda of the Department of the Treasury conforms to
the Unified Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information
Service Center (RISC).

Deputy Assistant General Counsel for General Law and Regulation.

144. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND COUNTERING THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM

5311 to 5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336
Abstract: FinCEN issued a notice of proposed rulemaking as part of
the establishment of national exam and supervision priorities. The
proposed rule implements section 6101(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering
Act of 2020 that requires the Secretary of the Treasury to issue and
promulgate rules for financial institutions to carry out the
government-wide anti-money laundering and countering the financing of
terrorism priorities (AML/CFT Priorities). The proposed rule (i)
incorporates a risk assessment requirement for financial institutions;
(ii) requires financial institutions to incorporate AML/CFT Priorities
into risk-based programs; and (iii) provides for certain technical
changes. Once finalized, this proposed rule will affect all financial
institutions subject to regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act that
have AML/CFT program obligations. As part of the rulemaking process,
FinCEN hosted four roundtables with private sector stakeholders and
other members of the public during the open comment period. The
roundtables were held virtually in August 2024 and included over 45
representatives of banks, credit unions, money service businesses,
credit card operators, trade associations, and transparency
organizations, and other types of organizations. FinCEN also convened a
virtual consultation with Tribal authorities and solicited written
feedback.

146. AMENDMENTS TO THE DEFINITION OF BROKER OR DEALER IN SECURITIES
(CROWD FUNDING) [1506-AB36]
Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1829b; 12 U.S.C. 1951 to 1960; 31 U.S.C.
5311 to 5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336
Abstract: FinCEN is finalizing amendments to the regulatory
definitions of ``broker or dealer in securities'' under the regulations
implementing the Bank Secrecy Act. The changes are intended to expand
the current scope of the definitions to include funding portals
involved in the offering or selling of securities through crowdfunding
pursuant to section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition,
these amendments would require funding portals to implement policies
and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with all of
the Bank Secrecy Act requirements that are currently applicable to
brokers or dealers in securities. The rule to require these
organizations to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act regulations is
intended to help prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and
other financial crimes.
Note: This is not a new requirement; it replaces RINs 1506-AB24
and 1506-AB29.

147. CLARIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENT TO COLLECT, RETAIN, AND TRANSMIT
INFORMATION ON TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING CONVERTIBLE VIRTUAL CURRENCIES
AND DIGITAL ASSETS WITH LEGAL TENDER STATUS [1506-AB41]
Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1829b; 12 U.S.C. 1951 to 1960; 31 U.S.C.
5311 to 5314; 31 U.S.C. 5316 to 5336
Abstract: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
FinCEN (collectively, the ``Agencies'') intend to issue a revised
proposal to clarify the meaning of ``money'' as used in the rules
implementing the Bank Secrecy Act requiring financial institutions to
collect, retain, and transmit information on certain funds transfers
and transmittals of funds. The Agencies intend that the revised
proposal will ensure that the rules apply to domestic and cross-border
transactions involving convertible virtual currency, which is a medium
of exchange (such as cryptocurrency) that either has an equivalent
value as currency, or acts as a substitute for currency, but lacks
legal tender status. The Agencies further intend that the revised
proposal will clarify that these rules apply to domestic and cross-
border transactions involving digital assets that have legal tender
status.

152. ENTRY OF LOW-VALUE SHIPMENTS [1515-AE84]
Legal Authority: 19 U.S.C. 1321
Abstract: This document proposes amendments to the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) regulations pertaining to the entry of certain
low-value shipments not exceeding $800 that are eligible for an
administrative exemption from duty and tax. Specifically, CBP proposes
to create a new process for entering low-value shipments, allowing CBP
to target high-risk shipments more effectively, including those
containing synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. This document also
proposes to revise the current process for entering low-value shipments
to require additional data elements that would assist CBP in verifying
eligibility for duty- and tax-free entry of low-value shipments and
bona-fide gifts.

155. CLEAN ELECTRICITY INVESTMENT AND PRODUCTION CREDITS (SECTIONS 45Y
AND 48E) [1545-BR17]
Legal Authority: 26 U.S.C. 45Y(f); 26 U.S.C. 48E(i); 26 U.S.C. 7805
Abstract: Section 13701 of Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818
(August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022 (IRA) added new section 45Y, the clean electricity production
credit, to provide a tax credit for electricity produced by the
taxpayer at a qualified facility and either (1) sold by the taxpayer to
an unrelated person during the taxable year, or (2) in the case of a
qualified facility which is equipped with a metering device which is
owned and operated by an unrelated person, sold, consumed, or stored by
the taxpayer during the taxable year. Section 45Y(f) requires the
issuance of guidance regarding implementation of section 45Y, including
calculation of greenhouse gas emission rates for qualified facilities
and determination of clean electricity production credits under section
45Y. This guidance will be issued to satisfy that statutory mandate.
Section 13702 of the IRA added section 48E, the clean electricity
investment credit, to provide an investment tax credit for qualified
property. Section 48E(i) requires the issuance of guidance regarding
implementation of section 48E. This guidance will be issued to satisfy
that statutory mandate.
On October 24, 2022, Notice 2022-49 was published in I.R.B. 2022-
43, requesting comments on issues arising under several provisions,
including sections 45Y and 48E.
The final regulations provide rules for determining greenhouse gas
emissions rates resulting from the production of electricity;
petitioning for provisional emissions rates; and determining
eligibility for these credits in various circumstances. The final
regulations affect all taxpayers that claim the clean electricity
production credit with respect to a qualified facility or the clean
electricity investment credit with respect to a qualified facility or
energy storage technology, as applicable, that is placed in service
after 2024.

157. ENHANCING COVERAGE OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES UNDER THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT [1545-BR35]
Legal Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805; 26 U.S.C. 9833
Abstract: This rule would amend the regulations implementing the
Affordable Care Act's requirement that non-grandfathered group health
plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or
individual health insurance coverage cover recommended preventive
services without cost sharing. Among other actions, the rule would take
steps to expand access to certain recommended preventive items and
services that are available over-the-counter; require coverage of
certain preventive drugs and drug-led devices in a manner that
minimizes barriers to accessing the drug or drug-led device of one's
choice; reduce the likelihood that individuals face unexpected out-of-
pocket costs when they receive preventive services; and ensure medical
management techniques are reasonable and do not unduly prevent
individuals from accessing certain preventive services. Together, these
actions would make it easier for covered individuals to access certain
preventive services and improve health outcomes. The proposed
regulations were withdrawn.
