Form Title: EIB 10–02 Application for 

Short-Term Express Credit Insurance 

Policy. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is 

requesting an emergency approval for 

form EIB 10–02, Application for ShortTerm Express Credit Insurance Policy, 

in order to enhance the identification 

and classification of small businesses, as 

well as minority-, woman-, and veteranowned businesses. The Bank will 

subsequently proceed with the regular 

authorization request for this form 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 

applicant for Ex-Im Bank assistance. 

The Export-Import Bank has made a 

change to the report to have the 

applicant provide the number of 

employees or annual sales volume. That 

information is needed to determine 

whether or not they meet the SBA’s 

definition of a small business. The 

applicant already provides their name, 

address and industry code (NAICS). 

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 applicant to 

indicate whether it is a minority-owned 

business, women-owned business and/

or veteran-owned 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 provide that information.
