EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice: 2017-6013]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

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.
    This collection of information is necessary to determine 
eligibility of the export sales for insurance coverage. The Report of 
Premiums Payable for Financial Institutions Only is used to determine 
the eligibility of the shipment(s) and to calculate the premium due to 
EXIM for its support of the shipment(s) under its insurance program. 
EXIM customers will be able to submit this form on paper or 
electronically.
    By neutralizing the effect of export credit support 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. Under the Working 
Capital Guarantee Program, EXIM provides repayment guarantees to 
lenders on secured, short-term working capital loans made to qualified 
exporters. The guarantee may be approved for a single loan or a 
revolving line of credit.
    In the event that a buyer defaults on a transaction insured by EXIM 
the insured exporter or lender may seek payment by the submission of a 
claim.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 15, 2018 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20038, Attn: OMB 3048-10-
03.
