EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 2013-6007]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 10-02 Application for Short-Term Express Credit 
Insurance Policy.
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. 
635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank 
assistance.
    The application tool can be reviewed at: http://exim.gov/pub/pending/eib10_02.pdf.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 19, 2013 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
www.regulations.gov or by mail to Michele Kuester, Export-Import Bank 
of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title and Form Number: EIB 10-02 Application for Short-Term Express 
Credit Insurance Policy.
    OMB Number: 3048-0031.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Need and Use: This form is used by an exporter (or broker acting on 
its behalf) in order to obtain approval for coverage of the repayment 
risk of export sales. The information received allows Ex-Im Bank staff 
to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and the 
creditworthiness of one of the applicant's foreign buyers for Ex-Im 
Bank assistance under its programs.
    This is the application form for use by small U.S. businesses with 
limited export experience. Companies that are eligible to use the 
Express policy will need to answer approximately 20 questions and sign 
an acknowledgement of the certifications that appear on the reverse of 
the application form. This program does not provide discretionary 
credit authority to the U.S. exporter, and therefore the financial and 
credit information needs are minimized. This new form incorporates the 
standard Certification and Notices section as well as two questions 
about the amount of U.S. employment to be supported by this policy. It 
also requests additional information about sales by affiliates, U.S. 
content, and foreign buyers. By requesting this information in the 
application form, Ex-Im Bank will no longer need to separately request 
additional information from the applicant in order to process the 
application.
    Affected Public: This form affects entities involved in the export 
of U.S. goods and services.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.25 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 125 hours.
    Frequency of Reporting of Use: Once per year.
    Government Expenses:
    Reviewing time per year: 1,000 hours.
    Average Wages per Hour: $42.50.
    Average Cost per Year: $42,250 (time*wages).
    Benefits and Overhead: 20%.
    Total Government Cost: $ 51,000.
