    Reading Time:about 29 minutes

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is proposing a new rule allowing it to exempt certain supervised institutions from filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). This proposed rule aims to give these institutions the flexibility to develop innovative solutions for meeting Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements more efficiently. If enacted, the rule would align the FDIC more closely with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), reducing regulatory burdens for institutions using advanced technologies. The rule outlines procedures for exemption and invites public comments until February 22, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDIC might let some banks skip a special report called a Suspicious Activity Report if they have cool new ways to keep safe money rules while saving time and effort, but there are concerns it might be too tricky or unfair for smaller banks.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on a proposed new information collection regarding small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that have an airworthiness certificate. This collection will require operators and owners to maintain records of all maintenance, status of parts, compliance with airworthiness directives, and inspection status of their aircraft. The FAA estimates that this requirement will apply to around two operators per year, each managing a fleet of 100 UAS, leading to an annual burden of approximately 100 hours for keeping these records. This effort ensures the safety and reliability necessary for UAS operations over people.
