    Form Title: Competitiveness Report Survey EIB 00-02. OMB 3048-003.
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. Our customers will be able to submit 
this form on paper or electronically.
    The purpose of this survey is to fulfill the statutory mandate 
(Export-Import Act of 1945, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 635) which directs 
the Export-Import Bank to report annually to Congress any action taken 
toward providing export credit programs that are competitive with those 
offered by official foreign export credit agencies.
    The following changes have been made to the survey:
    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 
with Ex-Im Bank in CY 2009 in Part 1, Question 2.
    4. Changed the option ``Never'' to ``N/A'' in Part 2, Questions 1 
and 2.
    5. Removed the option ``N/A'' in ``Other'' in Part 2, Questions 1 
and 2.
    6. Added ``Services'' category to Part 3, Question 3.
    7. Added ``Local Costs'' to Part 3, Question 5.
    We received one comment from the public on our sixty day Federal 
Register Notice. The comment requested that we re-evaluate the length 
of time it takes to complete the form. We have adjusted our estimates 
to address this comment.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before February 11, 2010 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments maybe submitted through http://www.regulations.gov
