## Summary

FinCEN is issuing this final rule to adopt as final and with certain limited changes the interim final rule issued on March 26, 2025, which narrowed beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under FinCEN's regulations implementing the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).

In addition, the final rule exempts all U.S. persons from the requirement to update information already provided to FinCEN in connection with obtaining a FinCEN identifier (FinCEN ID).
