          - [Public Notice 2012-0087]

# AGENCY:

Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

# ACTION:

Submission for OMB review and comments request.

*Form Title:*                     EIB 94-07 Exporters Certificate for Use with a Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy.                

# 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. 

Ex-Im Bank is requesting an emergency approval of Ex-Im Bank form EIB 94-07, Exporter's Certificate For Use With A Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy. Ex-Im Bank's financial institution policy holders provide this form to U.S. exporters, who certify to the eligibility of their exports for Ex-Im Bank support. The completed forms are held by the financial institution policy holders, only to be submitted to Ex-Im Bank in the event of a claim filing. A requirement of Ex-Im Bank's policies is that the insured financial institution policy holder obtains a completed Exporter's Certificate at the time it provides financing for an export. Ex-Im Bank believes that EIB 94-07 requires emergency approval in order to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs. It is an integral component of the program and is heavily used. Lack of an emergency approval of this form would preclude our ability to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs.

                        The Exporters Certificate for Use with a Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy is a requirement of Ex-Im Bank's policies. The form can be viewed at                         *www.exim.gov/​pub/​pending/​eib94-07.pdf.*
