Subject:                                     Attention:  CTR Database

 

Attention CTR Database – In response to the request for comments concerning Bank Secrecy Act Unified Currency Transaction Report Proposed Data Fields.

 

I have reviewed the proposed fields and find some to be burdensome for the employee’s of  financial institutions’ to collect.

 

The following additional fields are intrusive, burdensome, and should not be added to the CTR form:

 

Part I -

Field 7 – Gender

Field 9 – Occupation or type of business a. NAICS code

New Data Element of County-Derived through third party data

New Date Elements for GEO Coding-Derived through third party data

New Data Element of HIFCA code-Derived through third party data

New Data Element of HIDTA code-Derived through third party date

Part I-Section B

Field 18, 18a and 19, Contact phone, Ext. & E-mail address

 

Part III Financial Institution Where Transaction(s) Takes Place-

New Data element of County-Derived through third party data

New Data element of GEO Coding-Derived through third party data

New Data element of HIFCA-Derived through third party data

New Data element of HIDTA-Derived through third party data

 

Financial Institutions’ are already overburdened with information gathering, please do not increase this burden by adding the above data fields to the Currency Transaction Report

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to review my comments.

 

Sincerely,

 

Shireen Hartmann
