Abstract: The information requested enables the financial institution applicant to provide Ex-Im Bank with the information necessary to obtain legislatively required assurance of repayment and fulfills other statutory requirements. The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the insured financial institution provide specific information (industry code, number of employees and annual sales volume) needed to make a determination as to whether or not the exporter meets the SBA's definition of a small business. The insured financial institution already provides a short description of the goods and/or services being exported and the name and address of the exporter. These additional pieces of information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the extent to which its support assists U.S. small businesses. The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the insured financial institution to indicate whether the exporter is a minority-owned business, women-owned business and/or veteran-owned business. Although answers to the questions are mandatory, the company may choose any one of the three answers: Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of "Decline to Answer" allows a company to consciously decline to answer the specific question should they not wish to answer.

Emergency Justfication: Ex-Im Bank has experienced a lapse in its authority. The renewal process had been started, but Ex-Im Bank’s lack of authority has hindered continued progress on the renewal. Ex-Im Bank is requesting reinstatement and to extend the expiry date for form 3048-0019 for a six month period so that Ex-Im Bank can resume operating. Thank you for your kind attention to this request.
