    POINTS TO REMEMBER

    Use Of The Bank Target Exception To Reduce Reimbursement ObligationsUnder The Financial Privacy Act

    The reimbursement provision of the Right To Financial PrivacyAct of 1978 12 U.S.C 3415 generally requires the Department toreimburse covered financial institutions for costs incurred bythem in searching for and reproducing protected financial recordsThis provision is generally applicable when access is soughtpursuantto grand jury subpoena See 12 U.S.C 3413i In

    recent case however the U.S Court of Appeals for the FifthCircuit held that no reimbursement is required when the financialinstitution in possession of the records sought is itself thetarget of the investigation because of the overriding applicabilityof the bank target exception of the Financial Privacy Act 12 U.S.C3413h In re Grand Jury Proceedings 636 F.2d 81 84865th Cir 1981 per curiarn

    It should be noted that the bank target exception alsoprovides special mechanism for obtaining customers financialrecords if they are sought pursuant to an investigation directedat someone or some entity other than the customer no reimbursementis required when using this exception For example in anembezzlement investigation government agents may obtain accessto records pertaining to bank accounts of the victims under theexception because the target of the investigation is bank officeror employee and not the customer There are however specialrestrictions upon use of records obtained pursuant to the banktarget exception found at 12 U.S.C 3413h

    To the extent that records can be obtained pursuant to thisexception it should be utilized The only paperwork requiredunder the exception is Certificate of Compliance DOJ Form-461certifying that the exception applies If financial institutionrefuses to produce records voluntarily in this way the recordscan be obtained pursuant to grand jury subpoena or other compulsoryprocess However no reimbursement should be paid in such an eventas the records are properly obtained pursuant to the bank targetexception regardless of whether such additional coercive process isutilized See In re Grand Jury Proceedings supra 636 F.2d at 85-86

    VOL 29 MARCH 27 1981 NO

    Use Of Grand Jury Agents To Search For And Copy Financial Records

    The use of grand jury agents to search for and reproducefinancial records sought pursuant to grand jury subpoena is

    desirable when there is reason to believe that reliance upon bank

    personnel for such search and copying activities would result insubstantial delay to an ongoing grand jury investigationinaccurate or incomplete compliance with the subpoena orsubstantial financial obligations under the reimbursement

    provision of the Right To Financial Privacy Act of 1978 12 U.S.C3415

    Until recently the only judicial authority for use of

    grand jury agents to assist in searching for and copying grand

    jury subpoenaed records covered by the Financial Privacy Act was

    an unpublished district court opinion The U.S Court of Appealsfor the Fifth Circuit has now held however that agents of the

    grand jury may help retrieve and copy financial records subpoenaed

    by the grand jury The court held In pertinent part

    Because the .To Financial Privacy Actexempts disclosure pursuant to grand jury

    subpoena from the notice and challenge provisions of the Act as well as the civil penaltysections the banks argument that it couldnot accept the governments offer to have

    agents of the grand jury examine the recordsfor fear of violating the Act is groundlessThe order of the district court carefullycircumscribed the authority of the grand jury

    agents

    In re Grand Jury Proceedings 636 F.2d 81 86 5th Cir 1981per curiam

    Thus grand jury agents may assist in locating and copying

    bank records encompassed by grand jury subpoena at least in those

    situations where court order has been obtained limiting the

    activities of the agents If such court order is sought the

    following language circumscribing the grand jury agents is suggested

    In searching for and reproducing financialrecords encompassed by the grand jury subpoenasuch agents shall not reproduce summarize orotherwise copy any financial record except for

    those records described in the subpoena and

    shall not disclose or divulge any record describedin the subpoena except as authorized by 12 U.S.C3420 or Rule 6e of the Federal Rules ofCriminal Procedure

    By regulation the Federal Reserve Board has authorizedbank holding companies to sponsor closedend but not openendinvestment companies Closedend investment companies buysecurities for the benefit of their investors but unlike

    openend funds the ordinary mutual funds the closedend fundsdo not stand ready to redeem their shares at market value AnassocIation of mutual funds challenged the Boards regulationon the grounds that the securities activities it permits are not

    closely related to banking as required by the Bank HoldingCompany Act and also violate the Glass-Steagall Act whichgenerally requires the separation of banking from the securitiesbusiness The Supreme Court with three Justices not participating has just upheld the Boards regulation The Court heldthat the activity permitted did not differ significantly frombanks traditional fiduciary services and did not conflict withthe carefully drawn prohibitions of the Glass-Steagall Act

    Under the Depository Institutions Deregulation and MonetaryControl Act of 1980 Congress rendered state usery laws inapplicable to inter alia mortgages made by creditors who lendresidential real estate funds in excess of $1000000 yearThe Act further provides that states may override the federal

    The Fifth Circuit has reversed fee award entered againstthe United States under the 1976 Civil Rights Attorneys FeesAwards Act 42 U.S.C 1988 The court in 21 decisionaccepted our argument that the Act does not waive federal sovereign immunity for fee awards because it neither contains theexpress language necessary to such waiver nor is the waiverof sovereign immunity necessarily implied by the statutory schemeor the legislative history In so concluding the Fifth Circuitjoins the D.C and Third Circuits in refusing to apply 1988 tocivil rights suits brought against the federal government

    STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ACCRUAL OF CAUSEOF ACTION EIGHTH CIRCUIT RULES THAT GOVERNMENTS RIGHT OF ACTION FOR MEDICARE OVERPAYMENTS ACCRUES WHEN FINAL DETERMINATION OFPROVIDERS LIABILITY IS MADE RATHER THANWHEN THE PROVIDERS COST REPORTS ARE AUDITED

    The United States filed suit under 28 U.S.C 1345 torecover overpayments to two Medicare providers The facts werestipulated and on crossmotions for summary judgment the trialcourt ruled that all but one of the governments claims werebarred by the six-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C2415a The court of appeals reversed

    Defendants argued that the governments cause of action forMedicare overpaylnents accrues when the fiscal intermediarycompletes its initial audit of providers annual cost reportwhtch puts the government on notice that an overpayment may havebeen made for particular year The court of appeals howeverruled that the amount of the overpayment or underpayment is notdetermined until an audit is made and the final liability of theprogram is determined in accordance with 42 C.F.R405.454f which is not necessarily the same date the auditis completed but may well occur as we argued at later dateafter the appropriate reimbursement formulas are applied to theraw audit figures and adjustments are made from other costyears Only then does the government know whether indeed thereis any debt owed by the provider and therefore only then doesthe governments cause of action accrue
