EXPORT-IMPORT BANK 

[Public Notice: 2021–6003] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the 

United States. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and 

comments request. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (EXIM), 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. 

The collection provides EXIM staff with 

the information necessary to monitor 

the borrower’s payments for exported 

goods covered under its short and 

medium-term export credit insurance 

policies. It also alerts EXIM staff of 

defaults, so they can manage the 

portfolio in an informed manner. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 9, 2021 to be assured of 

consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted electronically on 

WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail 

to Mia Johnson, Export-Import Bank of 

the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. 

NW Washington, DC 20571. Form can 

be viewed at https://www.exim.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title and Form Number: EIB 92–29 

Export-Import Bank Report of Premiums 

Payable for Exporters Only. 

OMB Number: 3048–0017. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Need and Use: The ‘‘Report of 

Premiums Payable for Exporters Only’’ 

form is used by exporters to report and 

pay premiums on insured shipments to 

various foreign buyers under the terms 

of the policy and to certify that 

premiums have been correctly 

computed and remitted. Individual 

transactions that an exporter may have 

with the same foreign borrower can be 

sub-totaled and entered as a single line 

item for the specific month provided the 

length of payment term is identical. The 

use of sub-totals reduces the 

administrative burden on the exporter. 

The ‘Report of Premiums Payable for 

Exporters Only’ is used by the Bank to 

determine the eligibility of the 

shipment(s) and to calculate the 

premium due to Ex-Im Bank for its 

support of the shipment(s) under its 

insurance program. 

Affected Public: This form affects 

entities involved in the export of U.S. 

goods and services. 

Annual Number of Respondents: 

2600. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 

minutes.

Estimated annual hours burden: 

1,880,000 hours (160,000 recordkeeping

wool firms incur an average 40 hours 

per firm]. 

Disclosure: 1,720,000 hours [240,000 

hours for determining label content + 

480,000 hours to draft and order labels

Estimated annual cost burden: 

$25,620,000 (solely relating to labor 

costs). 

Abstract: The Wool Products Labeling 

Act of 1939 (Wool Act) prohibits the 

misbranding of wool products. The 

Wool Rules establish disclosure 

requirements that assist consumers in 

making informed purchasing decisions 

and recordkeeping requirements that 

assist the Commission in enforcing the 

Rules. 

As required by section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the 

FTC is providing this opportunity for 

public comment before requesting that 

OMB extend the existing clearance for 

the information collection requirements 

contained in the Commission’s Wool 

Rules. 

Burden Statement 

Staff’s burden estimates for the Wool 

Rules are based on data from the 

Department of Commerce’s Bureau of 

the Census, the International Trade 

Commission, the Department of Labor’s 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and 

data or other input from the main 

industry association, the American 

Apparel and Footwear Association 

(AAFA), and from SICCode.com, which 

specializes in the business classification 

of SIC (Standard Industrial 

Classification) and NAICS (North 

American Industry Classification 

System) codes for business 

identification, verification, and 

targeting. The AAFA, a national trade 

association which represents U.S. 

apparel, footwear and other sewn 

products companies and their suppliers, 

has stated that ‘‘[t]he use of labels on 

textiles and apparels is beneficial to 

consumers, manufacturers, and business 

in general as it allows for the necessary 

flow of information along the supply 

chain.’’ 1 The relevant information 

collection requirements in these rules 

and staff’s corresponding burden 

estimates follow. The estimates address 

the number of hours needed and the 

labor costs incurred to comply with the 

requirements. Staff believes that a 

significant portion of hours and labor 

costs currently attributable to burden 

below are time and financial resources 

usually and customarily incurred by 

persons in the course of their regular 

activity (e.g., industry participants 

already have and/or would have care 

labels regardless of the Rules) and could 

be excluded from PRA-related burden.2

Estimated annual hours burden: 

1,880,000 hours (160,000 recordkeeping 

hours + 1,720,000 disclosure hours). 

Recordkeeping: Staff estimates that 

approximately 4,000 wool firms are 

subject to the Wool Rules’ 

recordkeeping requirements. Based on 

an average annual burden of 40 hours 

per firm, the total recordkeeping burden 

is 160,000 hours. 

Disclosure: Approximately 8,000 wool 

firms, producing or importing about 

600,000,000 wool products annually, 

are subject to the Wool Rules’ disclosure 

requirements. Staff estimates the burden 

of determining label content to be 30 

hours per year per firm, or a total of 

240,000 hours, and the burden of 

drafting and ordering labels to be 60 

hours per firm per year, or a total of 

480,000 hours. Staff believes that the 

process of attaching labels is now fully 

automated and integrated into other 

production steps for about 40 percent of 

all affected products. For the remaining 

360,000,000 items (60 percent of 

600,000,000), the process is semiautomated and requires an average of 

approximately ten seconds per item, for 

a total of 1,000,000 hours per year. 

Thus, the total estimated annual burden 

for all firms is 1,720,000 hours (240,000 

hours for determining label content + 

480,000 hours to draft and order labels 

+ 1,000,000 hours to attach labels). Staff 

believes that any additional burden 

associated with advertising disclosure 

requirements would be minimal (less 

than 10,000 hours) and can be 

subsumed within the burden estimates 

set forth above. 

Estimated annual cost burden: 

$25,620,000, rounded to the nearest 

thousand (solely relating to labor costs). 

The chart below summarizes the total 

estimated costs.

3The wage rate for supervisors of office and 

administrative support workers is based on data 

through May 2019 from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics 

Survey at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ocwage.htm (released on March 31, 2020). 

4The wage rate for correspondence clerks is 

based on recent data from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics 

Survey at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ocwage.htm. 

5For imported products, the labels generally are 

attached in the country where the products are 

manufactured. According to information compiled 

by an industry trade association using data from the 

U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade 

Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau, 

approximately 97.5% of apparel used in the United 

States is imported. With the remaining 2.5% 

attributable to U.S. production at an approximate 

domestic hourly wage of $12 to attach labels, staff 

has calculated a weighted average hourly wage of 

$6.50 per hour attributable to U.S. and foreign labor 

combined. 

6This estimate includes the wage rate for 

correspondence clerks. 

Task Hourly rate Burden hours Labor cost 

Determine label content ............................................................................................................... 3 $29.00 240,000 $6,960,000 

Draft and order labels .................................................................................................................. 4 9.00 480,000 9,120,000 

Attach labels ................................................................................................................................ 5 6.50 1,000,000 6,500,000

Total ...................................................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ 25,620,000 

Staff believes that there are no current 

start-up costs or other capital costs 

associated with the Wool Rules. Because 

the labeling of wool products has been 

an integral part of the manufacturing 

process for decades, manufacturers have 

in place the capital equipment 

necessary to comply with the Rules. 

Based on knowledge of the industry, 

staff believes that much of the 

information required by the Wool Act 

and Rules would be included on the 

product label even absent their 

requirements. Similarly, recordkeeping 

and advertising disclosures are tasks 

performed in the ordinary course of 

business so that covered firms would 

incur no additional capital or other nonlabor costs as a result of the Rules. 

Request for Comments
