This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Registration | 1.07 | 4,093 | 4,398.6 | $548,507 |

| Total | c 18,318 | 14,047.2 | 1,752,126 | |
| a Hourly burden figures presented here are rounded to the nearest hundredth of an hour for presentation purposes. Total burden figures are produced using unrounded figures for accuracy. | ||||
| b Total costs include (1) labor costs associated with the burden hours presented and (2) non-labor costs for recordkeeping of $0.10 per response associated with storage and technology, which results in a cost per respondent of $0.13 for initial registrations, $0.12 for renewals and re-registrations, and $0.10 for maintenance of an agent list. See Table 1 in the RMSB Renewal Notice for more detail on the number of responses per respondent for each activity. | ||||
| c This estimate represents the expected number of respondents by respondent-response pairs, not the number of unique MSB respondents anticipated in a given year. Because an individual MSB may be subject to more than one type of reporting and/or recordkeeping obligation (itemized as different categories of responses) in a given calendar year, the same MSB may be counted more than once as an expected respondent. See RMSB Renewal Notice at section II. | ||||
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 14,047 hours.[3]
Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
1. FinCEN's estimate of potential respondents is based on a count of MSBs that appear to operate as MSB principals, including but not limited to at least one registration filing within the most recent three calendar years. Because MSB agents are not typically subject to registration requirements, they are generally excluded from the population of expected respondents. See FinCEN, Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Renewal; Comment Request; Renewal Without Change of the Registration of Money Services Businesses Regulation and FinCEN Form 107,91 FR 23348 (Apr. 30, 2026) (RMSB Renewal Notice), at section II.
