DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

DOC has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance the following proposal for 

collection of information under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13. 

Bureau: International Trade 

Administration. 

Title: BISNIS FinanceLink. 

Agency Form Number: ITA–4145P. 

OMB Number: 0625–0231. 

Type of Request: Regular Submission. 

Burden: 8. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The International 

Trade Administration’s Business 

Information Service for the Newly 

Independent States offers business 

intelligence and counseling to U.S. 

companies seeking to export or invest in 

the countries of the Former Soviet 

Union. One of the essential components 

of BISNIS’s services is assisting 

companies in locating suitable financing 

for exports. Often, official sources, such 

as the Export-Import Bank of the United 

States, cannot handle all requests for a 

variety of reasons. FinanceLink is an 

internet-based service to facilitate 

contact between exporters and financing 

agencies. Exporters fill out a form giving 

relevant details about the desired 

transaction and submit it via Internet to 

BISNIS; BISNIS will, in turn, distribute 

the information collected to potential 

financing agencies. The intention is to 

provide a service that benefits both 

exporters and financing agencies. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit, voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, 

(202) 395–7340.

collection proposal can be obtained by
