**[Public Notice: 2015–6005]**

**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 92–41 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/ pending/EIB92-41.pdf
