Abstract: The Export Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the financing of exports of U.S. goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and produce. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank assistance. This form is used by an exporter (or broker acting on its behalf) in order to obtain approval for coverage of the repayment risk of export sales. The information received provides Ex-Im Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and the creditworthiness of one of the applicant's foreign buyers for Ex-Im Bank assistance under its programs.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The burden to small businesses is reduced largely through elimination of the unnecessary, back-and-forth transmission of paper or hard copy documents whose timeliness through the mail system is inconsistent and that could be lost in transit. Additionally, Ex-Im Bank's regional office staff will be assisting the exporters with the application process and will sometimes enter the application for the customer.
