Rules previously issued under the Bank Secrecy Act established new procedures for exemption of transactions of retail and other businesses from the requirement that depository institutions report transactions in currency in excess of $10,000. The interim rule (the "Interim Rule") contained in this document modifies those procedures so that they will also apply to transactions involving money market deposit accounts used for business purposes. The Interim Rule also makes certain technical changes in the exemption procedures. Modification of the exemption procedures is another step in the Department of the Treasury's continuing program to increase the cost- effectiveness of the counter-money laundering policies of the Department of the Treasury.
