EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES

Federal Register Volume 80, Issue 40 (March 2, 2015)

Page Range11194-11194
FR Document2015-04191

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is requesting an emergency approval for form EIB 95-10, Application for Long Term Loan or Guarantee, in order to enhance the identification and classification of small businesses, as well as minority-, woman-, and veteran-owned businesses. The Bank will subsequently proceed with the regular authorization request for this form as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Sec. 635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank support. The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the financial institution provide specific information (industry code, number of employees and annual sales volume) needed to make a determination as to whether or not the exporter meets the SBA's definition of a small business. The financial institution already provides the exporter's name and address. These additional pieces of information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the extent to which its support assists U.S. small businesses. The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the financial institution to indicate whether the exporter is a minority- owned business, women-owned business and/or veteran-owned business. Although answers to the questions are mandatory, the company may choose any one of the three answers: Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of ``Decline to Answer'' allows a company to consciously decline to answer the specific question should they not wish to provide that information. The application can be viewed at www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib95- 10all.pdf

    Form Title: EIB 95-10, Application for Long Term Loan or Guarantee.

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is 
requesting an emergency approval for form EIB 95-10, Application for

classification of small businesses, as well as minority-, woman-, and 
veteran-owned businesses. The Bank will subsequently proceed with the 
regular authorization request for this form as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
    By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and 
guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks 
that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. 
exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price 
and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 
12 U.S.C. Sec. 635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for 
Ex-Im Bank support.
    The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the 
financial institution provide specific information (industry code, 
number of employees and annual sales volume) needed to make a 
determination as to whether or not the exporter meets the SBA's 
definition of a small business. The financial institution already 
provides the exporter's name and address. These additional pieces of 
information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the extent to which 
its support assists U.S. small businesses.
    The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the 
financial institution to indicate whether the exporter is a minority-
owned business, women-owned business and/or veteran-owned business. 
Although answers to the questions are mandatory, the company may choose 
any one of the three answers: Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of 
``Decline to Answer'' allows a company to consciously decline to answer 
the specific question should they not wish to provide that information.
