Administrative Rulings
Pursuant to its authority at 31 CFR Part 1010 Subpart G, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) may issue administrative rulings interpreting the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) or FinCEN’s implementing regulations at 31 CFR Chapter X. Administrative rulings that are published on FinCEN’s website provide guidance to financial institutions and other requestors in complying with applicable BSA regulations. Published administrative rulings have precedential value and may be relied upon by others that are similarly situated.

Administrative ruling requests must be made in accordance with the requirements set out at 31 CFR 1010.711 and may be submitted to administrative.rulings@fincen.gov.
