Ex-Im Bank needs to revise the instrument to remove a question, of a sensitive nature, that is no longer needed by the agency. With this substantive change, the agency is required to publish a new 60 and 30-day notice to seek comment on the revised instrument. OMB instructs the agency to resubmit this collection to OMB with the publication of the 30-day notice for a three-year approval of the collection.

The application is used by the insurance broker to register with Ex-Im Bank. The application aprovides Ex-Im Bank with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the broker to receive commission payments under Ex-Im Bank's credit insurance program.
The IC burden has decreased because the Ex-Im Bank has shortened the application form for Brokers and provides a means for the Broker to identify information already submitted to the Bank on previous applications.
