EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE U.S.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Final Collection; Comment 

Request 

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

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review 

and Comments Request. 

Form Title: Application for Long 

Term Loan or Guarantee (EIB 95–10). 

SUMMARY: Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank is 

requesting an emergency approval for 

form EIB 95–10 Application for Long 

Term Loan or Guarantee, OMB 3048– 

0013, because the Export Import Bank 

Reauthorization Act of 2012 has placed 

additional reporting requirements on 

the Bank. 

By neutralizing the effect of export 

credit insurance and guarantees offered 

by foreign governments and by 

absorbing credit risks that the private 

section will not accept, Ex-Im Bank 

enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly 

in foreign markets on the basis of price 

and product. This collection of 

information is necessary, pursuant to 12 

USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine 

eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im 

Bank Assistance. 

The collection will provide 

information needed to determine 

compliance and creditworthiness for 

transaction requests submitted to Ex-Im 

Bank under its long-term guarantee and 

direct loan programs. The form is 

currently used to make a credit decision 

on approximately 85 export transactions 

per year in divisions dealing with 

aircraft, structured finance, and trade 

finance. 

The application can be viewed at 

www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib95- 

10.pdf. 

DATES: Comments should be received on 

or before March 18, 2013 to be assured 

of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments maybe submitted 

electronically on 

WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail 

to Michele Kuester, Export Import Bank 

of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave.
