EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 48]

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the

United States (Ex-Im Bank).

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1945, the

Export-Import Bank of the United States

is submitting to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) a

request to review and approve a revised

exporter and banker survey. The

purpose of the survey is to fulfill a

statutory mandate (the Export-Import

Bank Act of 1945, as amended, 12

U.S.C. 635) which directs Ex-Im Bank to

report annually to the U.S. Congress any

action taken toward providing export

credit programs that are competitive

with those offered by official foreign

export credit agencies. The Act further

stipulates that the annual report on

competitiveness should include the

results of a survey of U.S. exporters and

U.S. commercial lending institutions

which provide export credit to

determine their experience in meeting

financial competition from other

countries whose exporters compete with

U.S. exporters.

Accordingly, Ex-Im Bank is requesting

that the proposed survey (EIB No. 00–

02) be sent to approximately 50

respondents, split equally between

bankers and exporters. The revised

survey is similar to the previous survey,

as it asks bankers and exporters to

evaluate the competitiveness of Ex-Im

Bank’s programs vis-a ́-vis foreign export

credit agencies. However, it has been

modified in order to account for newer

policies and to capture enough

information to provide a better analysis

of our competitiveness. In addition,the

survey will be administered

electronically via email, with recipients

encouraged to respond electronically as

well.

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before January 18, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

or requests for additional information to

David Rostker, Office of Management

and Budget, Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Room 10102, New Executive

Office Building, Washington, D.C.

20503, (202) 395–3897.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Carlista D. Robinson, Export-Import

Bank of the U.S., 811 Vermont Avenue,

NW., Washington, DC 20571 (202) 565–

3351.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With

respect to the proposed collection of

information, Ex-Im Bank invites

comments as to:

—Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the

proper performance of the functions

of Ex-Im Bank, including whether the

information will have a practical use;

—The accuracy of Ex-Im Bank’s

estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

—Ways to enhance the quality,

usefulness, and clarity of the

information to be collected, and

—Ways to minimize the burden of

collection of information on those

who are to respond, including

through the use of appropriate

automated electronic, mechanical, or

other technological collection

techniques or other forms of

information technology; e.g.,

permitting electronic submission of

responses.
