FinCEN, to comply with the congressional mandate to prescribe
regulations under section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions,
Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (``CISADA'') and consistent
with its statutory mission under 31 U.S.C. 310, is proposing to issue
regulations that would require a U.S. bank that maintains a
correspondent account for a foreign bank to inquire of the foreign
bank, and report to FinCEN, with respect to whether the foreign bank
maintains a correspondent account for, or has processed one or more
transfers of funds within the preceding 90 calendar days, other than
through a correspondent account, related to any financial institution
designated by the U.S. Government in connection with Iran's
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for
weapons of mass destruction, or in connection with Iran's support for
international terrorism. In addition, FinCEN is proposing to require a
U.S. bank that maintains a correspondent account for a foreign bank to
inquire of the foreign bank, and report to FinCEN, with respect to
whether the foreign bank has processed one or more transfers of funds
within the preceding 90 calendar days related to Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (``IRGC'') or any of its agents or affiliates
designated by the U.S. Government. Under the proposed regulations, U.S.
banks will only be required to report this information to FinCEN upon
receiving a specific written request from FinCEN.
