DJ US Tsy: Anti-Money Laundering Steps For Metals Dealers

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Metals and jewelry dealers that do more than $50,000 worth of business per year would need to set up an anti-money laundering strategy, under a new proposed rule released Wednesday by the U.S. Treasury.

The proposed rule covers precious metals dealers and refiners, jewelry manufacturers, loose gemstone merchants and retail stores that also act as a dealer in such items. Retail-only stores aren't covered by the rule, nor are dealers that buy or sell less than the $50,000 threshold.

The proposal is part of a series of regulations connected with the Patriot Act, counterterrorism legislation passed shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Businesses covered in the legislation are required to develop a strategy to prevent money laundering and curtail terrorist financing.

Comments are due 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register; Treasury said it expects the rule to be published next week.
