EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice: 2015-6006]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Form Title: EIB 92-30 Report of Premiums Payable for Financial 
Institutions Only.

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as 
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.
    This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 
635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the export sales for insurance 
coverage. The Report of Premiums Payable for Financial Institutions 
Only is used 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. Export-Import Bank customers 
will be able to submit this form on paper or electronically.
    The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the 
insured financial institution provide the industry code (NAICS) 
associated with each specific export as well as specific information 
needed to make a determination as to whether or not the exporter meets 
the SBA's definition of a small business. The insured financial 
institution already provides a short description of the goods and/or 
services being exported and the name and address of the exporter. These 
additional pieces of information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track 
what exports it is covering with its insurance policy and the extent to 
which its support assists U.S. small businesses.
    The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the insured 
financial institution to indicate whether the exporter is a minority-
owned business, women-owned business and/or veteran-owned business. 
Although answers to the question are mandatory, the company may choose 
any one of the three answers: Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of 
``Decline to Answer'' allows a company to consciously decline to answer 
the specific question should they not wish to answer.
    The information collection tool can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib92-30.pdf

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 17, 2015 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Michele Kuester, Export-Import Bank 
of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20571.
