###### Export-Import Bank

          - [Public Notice 2018-3003]

# AGENCY:

Export-Import Bank of the United States.

# ACTION:

Submission for OMB review and comments request.

# SUMMARY:

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), as 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.

Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), facilitates the finance of the export of U.S. goods and services by providing insurance or guarantees to U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. exports. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance or guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, EXIM enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction insured or guaranteed by EXIM, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from EXIM by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance policy or guarantee, as the case may be.

# DATES:

Comments must be received on or before February 20, 2018 to be assured of consideration.
