As commenters noted, such a provision is consistent with the statutory language in 31 U.S.C. The aggregate cost of this regulation is reflective of the large number of corporations and other entities that are covered in order to implement the broad scope of the CTA. In particular, while law enforcement agencies may be able to use subpoenas and access public databases to collect information to identify the owners of corporate structures, the 2020 Illicit Financing Strategy explained that [t]here are numerous challenges for federal law enforcement when the true beneficiaries of illicit proceeds are concealed through shell or front companies.[67] These markup elements allow the user to see how the document follows the In those cases, the agency welcomes questions from stakeholders and anticipates addressing their concerns through guidance.

Tax-exempt entities: See, e.g., Tchrepnin [326] This cost may have been significant, especially given that company applicants are less likely to stay in regular contact with associated reporting companies. This estimate is consistent with the statement in the initial BOI reports section that it will take an hour for such entities to collect and review beneficial ownership information. FinCEN totaled the number of entities reported for each year for each jurisdiction.
