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 disbursements for approval. Previously there were no
forms to collect this disbursement information. Hardcopy commercial
documents and our Form of Exporter's Certificate (OMB 3048-0043)
were submitted for Ex-Im Bank to retrieve the information. This
process changed in 2001 for the MT MGA to begin collecting the
information electronically and discontinue the need for hardcopies
to be submitted to Ex-Im Bank. In 2012 Ex-Im Bank decided to change
the computer program that the electronic collection process was
using and to add the CGF program to the electronic process.
Therefore, we designed the various screens necessary to collect the
disbursement information under the new computer program and are
submitting them to OMB for approval.
