EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

FR Document2015-30982

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal Agencies to comment on the proposed information collection, 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 section 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. 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 http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/ files/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), as 
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burden, invites the general public and other Federal Agencies to 
comment on the proposed information collection, 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 section 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. 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 http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib95-10all.pdf.
