OPIC Self Monitoring Questionnaire

For Finance, Insurance and Investment Funds Projects

Please read the following information carefully. This form requests information from OPIC clients, which is required annually by OPIC’s governing legislation. The information provided in this questionnaire will allow OPIC to assess better the impact of OPIC-assisted projects on the U.S. economy, the environment, host country economic development, and workers’ rights conditions associated with OPIC-supported investments.

Complete responses to the collection of information in this form are mandatory, per the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, Section 231(k)(2). Client information contained in this questionnaire will be deemed as privileged or confidential in accordance with OPIC’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations (22 CFR part 706) and will be treated as confidential to the extent permitted by the FOIA. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information unless it displays a valid OMB control number with an expiration date that has not expired.


Instructions:


The Self Monitoring Questionnaire (SMQ) is divided into two sections. Please note that users are required to only complete one section, not both sections.


Section A is to be completed by all OPIC Finance and Insurance projects and by all OPIC Investment Funds and framework agreement/onlending facility subprojects unless otherwise directed by OPIC staff from the Office of Investment Policy (OIP).


Section B is to be completed by Financial Intermediary transactions if directed by OPIC staff from the Office of Investment Policy (OIP). As such, the term “financial intermediary” refers to, but is not limited to, general lending banks, specialized lending institutions, mortgage facilities, microfinance institutions, private equity funds, and other capital market transactions. Where available, please provide information for only OPIC-supported activities – not for the institution as a whole.


The Self Monitoring Questionnaire (SMQ) may be completed online. In order to access the questionnaires, please go to https://www2.opic.gov/smq/login.asp. You will be asked to enter the project type, contract number, and password. The OPIC contract number and passwords are provided annually on the reminder letters sent to you by OPIC staff. If you do not know your contract number and password, please email [email protected] and you will be sent the correct contract number and password related to the project. Alternatively, the Self Monitoring Questionnaire may be emailed or faxed to OIP. In this case, please email the Questionnaire to [email protected] or fax the SMQ to the following number: 202-408-9859.


Please answer all questions as completely as possible. If space is inadequate, please supply additional information on separate sheets of paper and attach them to this form. For all questions, the terms “Project” and “Financial Intermediary” refer to the new investment associated with the OPIC insurance contract and/or finance agreement identified by number above. If this investment is an expansion of an existing enterprise, or otherwise only part of an enterprise, only the incremental effects directly related to and resulting from the new investment should be provided.


Some questions and bolded terms found in the SMQ may not be familiar to users of the questionnaire. As such, please consult the document entitled, “Guidelines for completing the OPIC Self-Monitoring Questionnaire” as complete instructions and definitions of terms are provided. If you do not have a copy of this document, please email [email protected].


Notice: Public reporting burden for this collecting of information is estimated to average three hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to Agency Forms Officer, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, 1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20527; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
