a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities and

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13.

Bureau: International Trade

Administration.

Title: Business Information Service for

the Newly Independent States (BISNIS)

FinanceLink.

Agency Form Number: N/A.

OMB Number: N/A (number to be

assigned).

Type of Request: Regular Submission.

Burden: 33 hours.

Number of Respondents: 200.

Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The International

Trade Administration’s Business

Information Service for the Newly

Independent States offers business

intelligence and counseling to U.S.

companies seeking to export or invest in

the countries of the former Soviet

Union. One of the essential components

of BISNIS’s services is assisting

companies in locating suitable financing

for exports. Often, official sources, such

as the Export-Import Bank of the United

States, cannot handle all requests for a

variety of reasons. BISNIS’s

FinanceLink is an internet-based service

that will facilitate contact between

exporters and financing agencies. U.S.

exporters fill out a form giving relevant

details about the desired transaction and

submit it via Internet to BISNIS; BISNIS

will, in turn, distribute the information

collected to U.S.-based financing

agencies who have expressed an interest

in receiving such information. The

intention is to provide a service that

benefits both exporters and financing

agencies.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
