EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES


Economic Impact Policy

    This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of 
the United States has received an application to finance the export of 
eight refurbished U.S. locomotives valued at approximately $14 million 
to Kenya. These locomotives will be dedicated to transport soda ash 
from the production facility to the Kenyan coast. Five of the eight 
locomotives will replace existing 1970 vintage locomotives. The 
remaining three locomotives will be used to meet the buyer's need for 
increased transport capacity resulting from a recent 365,000 metric ton 
per year production expansion, which is scheduled to be commissioned in 
March 2006. Available information indicates that this new production 
will be consumed in India, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East. 
Interested parties may submit comments on this transaction by e-mail to 
[email protected] or by mail to 811 Vermont Avenue, NW., Room 
1238, Washington, DC 20571, within 14 days of the date this notice 
appears in the Federal Register.
