31 CFR Part 1010
RIN 1506-AB75

AGENCY:

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Treasury.

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment period.

SUMMARY:

FinCEN is extending the comment period for the referenced notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) it published to amend the existing definition of Huione Group to include, within the definition of that group, H-Pay Service PLC, and adding and defining the term “successor entity,” due to a technological issue with the portal that prevented the public from electronically filing comments to this NPRM for multiple days.

DATES:

Written comments on the NPRM must be submitted on or before August 2, 2026.

ADDRESSES:

Comments must be submitted in one of the following two ways (please choose only one of the ways listed):

Federal E-rulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. If you are reading this document on federalregister.gov, you may use the green “SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT” button beneath this rulemaking's title to submit a comment to the regulations.gov docket.
Mail: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, P.O. Box 39, Vienna, VA 22183. Refer to Docket Number FINCEN-2026-0166 in the submission.

Do not include any personally identifiable information (such as name, address, or other contact information) or confidential business information that you do not want publicly disclosed. All comments are public records; they are publicly displayed exactly as received, and will not be deleted, modified, or redacted. Comments may be submitted anonymously.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On June 25, 2026, FinCEN published an NPRM in the Federal Register seeking comments from interested parties on an amendment of the existing definition of Huione Group to include, within the definition of that group, H-Pay Service PLC, and adding and defining the term “successor entity.” ^[1] However, it came to FinCEN's attention that members of the public were unable to submit comments electronically for six days, from June 25 to June 30, due to a technological issue with the applicable portal. Because an extension will allow additional interested parties to provide comments, FinCEN has determined that it is appropriate in this instance to extend the comment period for an additional six (6) days. Thus, comments on the NPRM may be submitted on or before August 2, 2026.

Dated: July 22, 2026.

Jimmy L. Kirby,

Deputy Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
