EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 84]

 
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

ACTION: Notice of request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank, as a 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. Our 
customers will be able to submit this form on paper or electronically. 
The form has been updated in the following ways:
     The application now accommodates requests for Finance 
Lease Guarantee coverage. Information on Lessees and Lessors is 
requested in those circumstances.
     The application accommodates requests for Foreign Dealer 
Insurance policies. A separate one-page attachment (Attachment IV) is 
required when the applicant requests this coverage.
     The format has been changed so that it accords with the 
on-line version of the form which will be made available later in 2006. 
Formatting changes include:

--The names of the applicant and broker have been moved up to the first 
item.
--Section 1 has been relabeled ``General Questions'' instead of 
``Financing Type Requested''.
--Requests for Special Coverages have been moved up in front of the 
Participants section.

     Information about a new participant, the agent, is now 
requested. Gathering this information helps Ex-Im Bank evaluate the 
creditworthiness of the transaction.
     Legal certifications have been updated.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before June 6, 2006 to 
be assured consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments and requests for additional information 
to Angela Beckham, Export-Export Bank of the U.S., 811 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20571, (202) 565-3418.

Guarantee, EIB-03-02.
    OMB Number: 3048-0014.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Need and Use: The information requested enables the applicant to 
provide Ex-Im Bank with the information necessary to obtain 
legislatively required assurance of repayment and fulfills other 
statutory requirements.

of U.S. goods and services.
