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 finance of export 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 complete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the export for Ex-Im Bank assistance. This form will enable Ex-Im Bank to identify the specific details of the export transaction. These details are necessary for determining the eligibility of claims for approval. Ex-Im Bank staff and contractors review this information to assist in determining that an export transaction, on which a claim for non-payment has been submitted, meets all of the terms and conditions of cover.

ICR Summary of Burden

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

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual number of responses has changed (as the number originally reported was based on the number of deals, not the number of respondents). The government reviewing time has also changed because it is now based on the amount of time required to review each response as opposed to an average time to review the responses provided for each deal. The end result is that the reviewing time per year is nearly the same – it was 68 hours and it now is 67 hours. There is however an increase in the total cost to the government as the cost methodology being used has changed and resulted in an increased cost per hour of review. The direct costs to the public were entered erroneously in the previous submission and were corrected in this submission.
