Treasury Seeking Comments on Information Collection Involving Hezbollah Sanctions Regulations

The Treasury Department is seeking public comments on an information collection on certain reporting requirements under the financial sanctions regulations for Hezbollah. U.S. financial institutions that maintained a correspondent account or payable-through account for certain foreign financial institutions listed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control must file a report with OFAC that includes “full details on the closing of each such account, and on all transactions processed or executed through the account.” This report must be filed with OFAC within 30 days of the account's closure. Public comments are due March 1.
