Abstract: Ex-Im Bank is requesting an emergency approval of Ex-Im Bank form EIB 94-07, Exporter's Certificate For Use With A Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy. Ex-Im Bank's financial institution policy holders provide this form to U.S. exporters, who certify to the eligibility of their exports for Ex-Im Bank support. The completed forms are held by the financial institution policy holders, only to be submitted to Ex-Im Bank in the event of a claim filing. A requirement of Ex-Im Bank's policies is that the insured financial institution policy holder obtains a completed Exporter's Certificate at the time it provides financing for an export. Ex-Im Bank believes that EIB 94-07 requires emergency approval in order to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs. It is an integral component of the program and is heavily used. Lack of an emergency approval of this form would preclude our ability to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs.

Emergency Justfication: Emergency Justification for EIB 94-07 – Exporter’s Certificate for Use with a Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy. Ex-Im Bank is requesting an emergency approval of Ex-Im Bank form EIB 94-07, Exporter’s Certificate for Use with a Short Term Export Credit Insurance Policy. Ex-Im Bank’s financial institution policy holders provide this form to U.S. exporters, who certify to the eligibility of their exports for Ex-Im Bank support. The completed forms are held by the financial institution policy holders, only to be submitted to Ex-Im Bank in the event of a claim filing. A requirement of Ex-Im Bank’s policies is that the insured financial institution policy holder obtain a completed Exporter’s Certificate at the time it provides financing for an export. Ex-Im Bank believes that EIB 94-07 requires emergency approval in order to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs. It is an integral component of the program and is heavily used. Ex-Im Bank developed the referenced form to obtain exporter certification regarding the export transaction, U.S. content, non-military use, non-nuclear use, compliance with Ex-Im Bank’s country cover policy, and their eligibility to participate in USG programs. These details are necessary to determine the legitimacy of claims submitted. It also provides the financial institution policy holder a check on the export transaction’s eligibility, at the time it is fulfilling a financing request. Lack of an emergency approval of this form would preclude our ability to continue operation of its short term financial institution programs. Without this form, it would be impossible for financial institution policy holders to comply with the requirements of their policies. Further it would not be prudent to delete this requirement, from the policies, as this could possibly lead to support of exports that do not align with Ex-Im Bank’s mandates and USG requirements. This would adversely impact Ex-Im Bank’s ability to finance small business exporters and its overall mission to support U.S. exports and maintain U.S. jobs. Accordingly, Ex-Im Bank requests emergency approval of EIB 94-07 in order to continue operation of this important export program.
