Abstract: On November 18, 2008, the Agencies published a joint
notice of final rulemaking in the Federal Register (73 FR 69382)
adopting a rule on a prohibition on the funding of unlawful Internet
gambling pursuant to the Act. Identical sets of the final joint rule
with identically numbered sections were adopted by the Board and the
Treasury within their respective titles of the Code of Federal
Regulations (12 CFR part 233 for the Board and 31 CFR part 132 for the
Treasury). The compliance date for the joint rule was June 1, 2010 (74
FR 62687). The collection of information is set out in sections 5 and 6
of the joint rule.\1\ Section 5 of the joint rule, as required by the
Act, requires all non-exempt participants in designated payment systems
to establish and implement written policies and procedures reasonably
designed to identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit
transactions in connection with unlawful Internet gambling.\2\ Section
6 of the joint rule provides non-exclusive examples of policies and
procedures deemed by the Agencies to be reasonably designed to identify
and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit transactions restricted by
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Section 802 of the Act requires the Agencies to prescribe
joint regulations requiring each designated payment system, and all
participants in such systems, to identify and block or otherwise
prevent or prohibit restricted transactions through the
establishment of policies and procedures reasonably designed to
identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit the acceptance
of restricted transactions. 31 U.S.C. 5364(a). Section 802 also
requires the Agencies to include in the joint rule non-exclusive
examples of reasonably designed policies and procedures. 31 U.S.C.
5364(b).
