Export-Import Bank of the United States.

Notice.

Summary
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) provides a variety of export credit insurance policies to exporters and institutions financing exports. The forms covering these policies are the applications for insurance which incorporate questionnaires and certificates. They provide information which allows the Bank to obtain legislatively required reasonable assurance of repayment and they fulfill other statutory requirements. The forms, with the exception of EIB Form 92-48, have no change in content or purpose; they require only a three-
year extension. EIB Form 92-48 is in the process of being revised to include Ex-Im Bank guidelines describing standards of creditworthiness for foreign obligors and, under certain circumstances, the new form will require demonstration that such standards are met. The revisions to EIB 92-48 will probably result in a longer response time.
