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 loan 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 product
quality. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to
12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant
for Ex-Im Bank assistance. This form is used by an exporter in
order to obtain approval for an Ex-Im Bank direct loan or a
guaranteed working capital line of credit to finance 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 its creditworthiness for Ex-Im Bank assistance
under this direct loan and guarantee program.
