0398. Please ensure that your comments 

are submitted within the specified 

comment period. Comments received 

after the closing date will be marked

time permits. It is EPA’s policy to 

include all comments it receives in the 

public docket without change and to 

make the comments available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov, including 

any personal information provided, 

unless a comment includes information 

claimed to be confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http://

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (Ex-Im Bank), 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. By neutralizing the effect 

of export credit insurance and 

guarantees offered by foreign 

government and by absorbing credit 

risks that the provide section will not 

accept, Export Import Bank enables U.S. 

exporters to compete fairly in foreign 

markets. These collections of 

information are used by exporters to 

convey legal rights to their financial 

institution lenders to share insurance 

policy proceeds from Export Import 

Bank approved insurance claims.

The following changes have been

1. Added question—Years in Business 

in Part 1, Question 1. 

2. Removed ‘‘Medium-term Loan’’ as 

an option in Part 1, Question 4. 

3. Added question—How many 

applications did your organization file

Question 2. 

4. Changed the option ‘‘Never’’ to ‘‘N/
