Hourly burden figures presented here are rounded to the nearest hundredth of an hour for presentation purposes. Total burden figures are produced using unrounded figures for accuracy.
b
Total costs include (1) labor costs associated with the burden hours presented and (2) non-labor costs for recordkeeping of $0.10 per response associated with storage and technology, which results in a cost per respondent of $0.13 for initial registrations, $0.12 for renewals and re-registrations, and $0.10 for maintenance of an agent list. See Table 1 in the RMSB Renewal Notice for more detail on the number of responses per respondent for each activity.
c
This estimate represents the expected number of respondents by respondent-response pairs, not the number of unique MSB respondents anticipated in a given year. Because an individual MSB may be subject to more than one type of reporting and/or recordkeeping obligation (itemized as different categories of responses) in a given calendar year, the same MSB may be counted more than once as an expected respondent.
See
RMSB Renewal Notice at section II.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:
14,047 hours.[3]
1.
FinCEN's estimate of potential respondents is based on a count of MSBs that appear to operate as MSB principals, including but not limited to at least one registration filing within the most recent three calendar years. Because MSB agents are not typically subject to registration requirements, they are generally excluded from the population of expected respondents.
