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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
