SUMMARY: The Export-Import Banks 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.
This collection of information is
necessary, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Sec.
635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the
underlying export transaction for Ex-Im
Bank insurance coverage.
The Export-Import Bank has made a
change to the report to have the insured
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 insured financial institution already
provides a short description of the
goods and/or services being exported
and the name and address of the
exporter. 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 insured financial
institution to indicate whether the
exporter is a minority-owned business,
women-owned business and/or veteranowned 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 answer.
