SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Equipment Standards Program’s test 

procedures and rulemaking 

determinations. The Committee’s scope 

is to review and make recommendations 

on the: (l) Development of minimum 

efficiency standards for residential 

appliances and commercial equipment, 

(2) development of product test 

procedures, (3) certification and 

enforcement of standards, (4) labeling 

for various residential products and 

commercial equipment, and (5) specific 

issues of concern to DOE as requested 

by the Secretary of Energy, the Assistant 

Secretary for Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, and the Buildings 

Technologies Office’s Director. 

To facilitate the functioning of the 

Committee, working group (i.e., 

subcommittees) may be formed with the 

approval of the Department of Energy. 

The objectives of the working groups are 

to make recommendations to the parent 

committee with respect to particular 

matters related to the responsibilities of 

the parent committee. Such working 

groups may not work independently of 

the chartered committee and must 

report their recommendations and 

advice to the full committee for full 

deliberation and discussion. 

Subcommittee members are appointed 

with DOE approval. 

DOE is hereby soliciting nominations 

for members of the Appliance Standards 

and Rulemaking Federal Advisory

to be continuing in nature. Members 

will be selected with a view toward 

achieving a balanced committee of 

experts in fields relevant to energy

equipment standards to include DOE, as 

well as representatives of industry

associations representing 

manufacturers, component 

manufacturers and related suppliers, 

and retailers), utilities, energy 

efficiency/environmental advocacy 

groups and consumers. Committee 

members will serve for a term of three 

years or less and may be reappointed for 

successive terms, with no more than 

two successive terms. Appointments

to ensure continuity in the functioning 

of the Committee. Some Committee 

members may be appointed as special 

Government employees, experts in 

fields relevant to energy efficiency and 

appliance and commercial equipment 

standards; or as representatives of 

industry (including manufacturers and 

trade associations representing 

manufacturers, component 

manufacturers and related suppliers, 

and retailers), utilities, energy 

efficiency/environmental advocacy 

groups and consumers. Special 

Government employees will be subject 

to certain ethical restrictions and such 

members will be required to submit 

certain information in connection with 

the appointment process. 

Members of the Committee will serve 

without compensation; however, each 

member may be reimbursed in 

accordance with Federal Travel 

Regulations for authorized travel and 

per diem expenses incurred while 

attending Committee meetings.

electronically, but not by both methods. 

Should more information be needed, 

DOE staff will contact the nominee, 

obtain information from the nominee’s 

past affiliations or obtain information 

from publicly available sources, such as 

the internet. A selection team will 

review the nomination packages. This 

team will be comprised of 

representatives from several DOE 

Offices. The selection team will seek 

balanced viewpoints and consider many 

criteria, including: (a) Scientific or 

technical expertise, knowledge, and 

experience; (b) stakeholder 

representation; (c) availability and 

willingness to serve; and (d) skills 

working in committees, working groups 

and advisory panels. The selection team 

will make recommendations regarding 

membership to the Secretary of Energy 

for review and selection of Committee 

members. 

Nominations are open to all 

individuals without regard to race, 

color, religion, sex, national origin, age, 

mental or physical handicap, marital 

status, or sexual orientation. To ensure 

that recommendations to the Committee 

take into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by DOE, 

membership shall include, to the extent 

practicable, individuals with 

demonstrated ability to represent the 

needs of women and men of all racial 

and ethnic groups, and persons with 

disabilities. Please note, however, that 

Federally-registered lobbyists and 

individuals already serving on another 

Federal advisory committee are 

ineligible for nomination.

Form Title: EIB 92–41 Application for 

Financial Institution Short-Term, 

Single-Buyer Insurance. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Banks 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. Sec. 

635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the 

underlying export transaction for Ex-Im 

Bank insurance coverage. 

The Export-Import Bank has made a 

change to the report to have the insured 

financial institution provide specific 

information (industry code, number of 

employees and annual sales volume) 

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 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 veteranowned business. Although answers to 

the questions 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/

This collection of information is

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
