ment under any other provision of law, the

mine to be reasonable and practicable to ob-
tain and retain information concerning the

maintained in the United States by a foreign
person (other than a foreign entity whose
shares are subject to public reporting require-
ments or are listed and traded on a regulated
exchange or trading market), or a representa-
tive of such a foreign person, that involves a
jurisdiction outside of the United States, 1 or
more financial institutions operating outside

ating outside of the United States, or a pay-
able through account through which any such
transaction may be conducted, as a condition

resentative of such customer) of such finan-
cial institution who is permitted to use, or
whose transactions are routed through, such
payable-through account; and

stitution or domestic financial agency that

ing, a jurisdiction outside of the United States
to be of primary money laundering concern,

retary of State, the Attorney General, and the
Chairman of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, may prohibit, or im-
pose conditions upon, the opening or main-
taining in the United States of a cor-
respondent account or payable-through ac-

AND INFORMATION TO BE
CONSIDERED IN FINDING JURISDICTIONS, INSTITU-
TIONS, TYPES OF ACCOUNTS, OR TRANSACTIONS TO

reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a
jurisdiction outside of the United States, 1 or
more financial institutions operating outside
of the United States, 1 or more classes of
transactions within, or involving, a jurisdic-
tion outside of the United States, or 1 or more
types of accounts is of primary money laun-
dering concern so as to authorize the Sec-
retary of the Treasury to take 1 or more of the
special measures described in subsection (b),
the Secretary shall consult with the Secretary
of State and the Attorney General.
(2) ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS.—In making
a finding described in paragraph (1), the Sec-
retary shall consider in addition such informa-
tion as the Secretary determines to be rel-
evant, including the following potentially rel-
evant factors:
(A) JURISDICTIONAL FACTORS.—In the case
of a particular jurisdiction—
(i) evidence that organized criminal
groups, international terrorists, or entities
involved in the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction or missiles have trans-
acted business in that jurisdiction;
(ii) the extent to which that jurisdiction
or financial institutions operating in that
jurisdiction offer bank secrecy or special
regulatory advantages to nonresidents or
nondomiciliaries of that jurisdiction;
(iii) the substance and quality of admin-
istration of the bank supervisory and
counter-money laundering laws of that ju-
risdiction;
(iv) the relationship between the volume
of financial transactions occurring in that
jurisdiction and the size of the economy of
the jurisdiction;
(v) the extent to which that jurisdiction
is characterized as an offshore banking or
secrecy haven by credible international or-
ganizations or multilateral expert groups;
(vi) whether the United States has a mu-
tual legal assistance treaty with that ju-
risdiction, and the experience of United
States law enforcement officials and regu-
latory officials in obtaining information
about transactions originating in or rout-
ed through or to such jurisdiction; and
(vii) the extent to which that jurisdic-
tion is characterized by high levels of offi-
cial or institutional corruption.
(B) INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS.—In the case of
a decision to apply 1 or more of the special
measures described in subsection (b) only to
a financial institution or institutions, or to
a transaction or class of transactions, or to
a type of account, or to all 3, within or in-
volving a particular jurisdiction—
(i) the extent to which such financial in-
stitutions, transactions, or types of ac-
counts are used to facilitate or promote
money laundering in or through the juris-
diction, including any money laundering
activity by organized criminal groups,
international terrorists, or entities in-
volved in the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction or missiles;
(ii) the extent to which such institu-
tions, transactions, or types of accounts
are used for legitimate business purposes
in the jurisdiction; and
(iii) the extent to which such action is
sufficient to ensure, with respect to trans-
actions involving the jurisdiction and in-
stitutions operating in the jurisdiction,
that the purposes of this subchapter con-
tinue to be fulfilled, and to guard against
international money laundering and other
financial crimes.
(d) NOTIFICATION
OF
SPECIAL
MEASURES
IN-
VOKED
BY
THE SECRETARY.—Not later than 10
days after the date of any action taken by the
Secretary of the Treasury under subsection
(a)(1), the Secretary shall notify, in writing, the
Committee on Financial Services of the House
of Representatives and the Committee on Bank-
ing, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate of
any such action.

provision of this subchapter, for purposes of this
section and subsections (i) and (j) of section 5318,

(1) BANK DEFINITIONS.—The following defini-
tions shall apply with respect to a bank:
Page 470
TITLE 31—MONEY AND FINANCE

precede the comma.
(A) ACCOUNT.—The term ‘‘account’’—
(i) means a formal banking or business
relationship established to provide regular
services, dealings, and other financial
transactions; and
(ii) includes a demand deposit, savings
deposit, or other transaction or asset ac-
count and a credit account or other exten-
sion of credit.
(B) CORRESPONDENT
ACCOUNT.—The term
‘‘correspondent account’’ means an account
established to receive deposits from, make
payments on behalf of a foreign financial in-
stitution, or handle other financial trans-
actions related to such institution.
(C) PAYABLE-THROUGH ACCOUNT.—The term
‘‘payable-through account’’ means an ac-
count, including a transaction account (as
defined in section 19(b)(1)(C) of the Federal
Reserve Act), opened at a depository institu-
tion by a foreign financial institution by
means of which the foreign financial institu-
tion permits its customers to engage, either
directly or through a subaccount, in banking
activities usual in connection with the busi-
ness of banking in the United States.
(2) DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO INSTITUTIONS
OTHER THAN BANKS.—With respect to any fi-
nancial institution other than a bank, the Sec-
retary shall, after consultation with the ap-
propriate Federal functional regulators (as de-
fined in section 509 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act), define by regulation the term ‘‘account’’,
and shall include within the meaning of that
term, to the extent, if any, that the Secretary
deems appropriate, arrangements similar to
payable-through and correspondent accounts.
(3) REGULATORY
DEFINITION
OF
BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP.—The Secretary shall promulgate
regulations defining beneficial ownership of an
account for purposes of this section and sub-
sections (i) and (j) of section 5318. Such regula-
tions shall address issues related to an individ-
ual’s authority to fund, direct, or manage the
account (including, without limitation, the
power to direct payments into or out of the ac-
count), and an individual’s material interest
in the income or corpus of the account, and
shall ensure that the identification of individ-
uals under this section or subsection (i) or (j)
of section 5318 does not extend to any indi-
vidual whose beneficial interest in the income
or corpus of the account is immaterial.
(4) OTHER
TERMS.—The Secretary may, by
regulation, further define the terms in para-
graphs (1), (2), and (3), and define other terms
for the purposes of this section, as the Sec-
retary deems appropriate.
(f) CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.—In any judicial
review of a finding of the existence of a primary
money laundering concern, or of the require-
ment for 1 or more special measures with re-
spect to a primary money laundering concern,
made under this section, if the designation or
imposition, or both, were based on classified in-
formation (as defined in section 1(a) of the Clas-
sified Information Procedures Act (18 U.S.C.
App.),2 such information may be submitted by
the Secretary to the reviewing court ex parte
and in camera. This subsection does not confer
or imply any right to judicial review of any find-
ing made or any requirement imposed under this
section.
