EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE U.S.

[Public Notice 2012-0087]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Final Collection; 
Comment Request

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.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before May 21, 2012 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
www.regulations.gov or by mail to Arnold Chow, Export-Import Bank of 
the United States, 811 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20571.
