comment.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), notice is hereby given that a proposed administrative settlement agreement for recovery of past and future response costs (‘‘Proposed Agreement’’) associated with the DuPont-Newport Superfund Site, Newcastle County, Delaware, was executed by the Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) and by the United States Department of Justice (‘‘DOJ’’) pursuant to the authority of the Attorney General of the United States to settle and compromise claims of the United States. The Proposed Agreement is now subject to public comment, after which EPA and DOJ may modify or withdraw their consent if comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Proposed Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The Proposed Agreement would resolve potential EPA claims under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, against E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company and BASF Corporation (‘‘Settling Parties’’). The Proposed Agreement would require Settling Parties to reimburse EPA $178,646.09 for past response costs paid by EPA or DOJ on behalf of EPA and to pay future response costs for the Site.

For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, EPA will receive written comments relating to the Proposed Agreement.

**[Public Notice: 2013–0100]**

**Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request** 

**AGENCY :**  Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

**ACTION :**  Submission for OMB review and comments request.

Form Title: EIB 92–53 Small Business Multi-Buyer Export Credit Insurance Policy Enhanced Assignment of Policy Proceeds.

**SUMMARY :**  The Export Import Bank of the U.S. (Ex-Im Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 U.S.C. 635, et seq.), facilitates the finance of export of U.S.


### 1859 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices

goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of information is used by exporters to convey legal rights to, and describe the duties and obligations that have to be met by their financial institution lender in order to share insurance policy proceeds from Ex-Im Bank approved insurance claims.

The changes that were made to this agreement include language clarifications and changes to the descriptions of the rights and obligations of the parties to the agreement. The changes were made to provide clarity and specificity for exporters/lenders based on issues that have arisen through either exporter/ lender inquiries or interpretations made during processing of claims. The language of the existing agreement frequently results in improper documentation by our lender partners which increases claim processing times and causes significant resource burdens to Ex-Im Bank. The language in the existing agreement also creates the potential for fraud, resulting in losses toEx-Im Bank. Recent changes to the ExIm Bank Charter (12 U.S.C. 635(i)(2)(i) and a–6(b)) mandate that Ex-Im Bank must develop practices to identify, prevent and monitor for potential fraud. Therefore changes to the agreement were required to comply with this mandate and protect the U.S. taxpayer from fraud related loss. In addition, the changes to this agreement protect Ex-Im Bank’s lender partners who are parties to the agreement, allowing us to maintain our relationships with our lender partners, and fulfill our agency mission to finance exports (through our lender partners) and create jobs. Due to the Ex-Im Bank Charter mandate to reduce fraud, the changes in the form need to be immediately disseminated to exporters/lenders so that they can change practices where needed, especially where documentation of export transactions is involved.
