EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 2015-6010]

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 92-64 Application for Exporter Short Term Single 
Buyer Insurance.

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.
    The ``Application for Exporter Short Term Single Buyer Insurance'' 
form will be used by entities involved in the export of U.S. goods and 
services, to provide Ex-Im Bank with the information necessary to 
obtain legislatively required assurance of repayment and fulfills other 
statutory requirements. 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 
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.
    The application can be reviewed at: www.exim.gov/pub/pending/EIB92-64.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.
