On March 1, 2011, FinCEN transferred its regulations from 31 CFR Part 103 to 31 CFR Chapter X as part of an ongoing effort to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its regulatory oversight. 31 CFR Chapter X is organized by generally applicable regulations and by industry-specific regulations. There were no substantive changes made to the underlying regulations because of this transfer and reorganization.
Documents published prior to March 1, 2011, will continue to contain citations to 31 CFR Part 103. Documents published on or after March 1, 2011, will contain citations to 31 CFR Chapter X. To assist with this transition, FinCEN created a 31 CFR Chapter X general cross-reference index and related resources.
To get a list of all translated entries, enter either a 31 CFR Part 103 citation or a 31 CFR Chapter X Parts 1000–1099 section number.1
Examples:
- Enter 103.15 for Rule 103.15.
- Enter 103.22.a for Rule 103.22(a).
Please note that a period (.) is used to separate rule subsections instead of parenthesizing the subsection.1

General Reference Notice
The Chapter X Citation Translator is intended only as a general reference guide for the public and is not a definitive legal reference. The Translator allows users to enter a regulatory citation from 31 CFR Part 103 and translate it into its equivalent 31 CFR Chapter X citation, and vice versa.
When using the Translator, FinCEN recommends first reviewing the General Cross-Reference Index, the Annotated Cross Reference Guide, or the 31 CFR Chapter X Final Rule Distribution Table.
Please note that when entering a 31 CFR Part 103 rule into the Chapter X Citation Translator, it is not possible to enter a more specific subsection than that listed in the General Cross-Reference Index, the Annotated Cross Reference Guide, or the 31 CFR Chapter X Final Rule Distribution Table. For example, entering 103.23.c.1 will return “No matching forms found!” because subsection (1) is too specific. However, entering 103.23.c will return 1010.340(c) because that level of specificity matches the citation listed in the cross-reference resources.
The information entered and generated by the Translator is neither stored nor recorded by FinCEN.
Citation Changes and Deleted Citations
Please note the following citation changes included in the Chapter X Citation Translator:
- The first and third sentences of 31 CFR 103.22(d)(1) were transferred to 31 CFR 1020.315(a).
- The second sentence of 31 CFR 103.22(d)(1) was transferred to 31 CFR 1010.315.
- 31 CFR 103.120(a)(1) was transferred to both 31 CFR 1020.100(d)(1) and 31 CFR 1023.100(e)(1).
- 31 CFR 103.120(c)(1) and (2) were transferred to both 31 CFR 1023.210(a) and (b) and 31 CFR 1026.210(b)(1) and (2).
Any 31 CFR Part 103 citations not transferred to 31 CFR Chapter X are noted as “DELETED.” One page specifies that these are noted as “DELETED” only when searching under “All Regulations.” Users should refer to the Chapter X Final Rule as the definitive text or to the Chapter X General Cross-Reference Index for more information.
