ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) 
provides a variety of export credit insurance policies to exporters and 
institutions financing exports. The forms covering these policies are 
the applications for insurance which incorporate questionnaires and 
certificates. They provide information which allows the Bank to obtain 
legislatively required reasonable assurance of repayment and they 
fulfill other statutory requirements. The forms, with the exception of 
EIB Form 92-48, have no change in content or purpose; they require only 
a three-

year extension. EIB Form 92-48 is in the process of being revised to 
include Ex-Im Bank guidelines describing standards of creditworthiness 
for foreign obligors and, under certain circumstances, the new form 
will require demonstration that such standards are met. The revisions 
to EIB 92-48 will probably result in a longer response time.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before April 12, 1999.
