Abstract: The information collected through the OPIC-247 form enables OPIC to comply with its congressional mandate to manage the program in a prudent manner. The OPIC-247 will only be used in conjunction with a completed application for OPIC financing, thereby reducing the burden on the investor to fill out duplicative information concerning developmental effects of the project already requested in the application for OPIC financing.
