EXPORT-IMPORT BANK


Economic Impact Policy

    This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of 
the United States has received an application to guarantee 
approximately $54 in commercial bank financing for the export of 
approximately $54 million in U.S. equipment and services to a hot 
briquetted iron (HBI) plant in Russia. This project is not associated 
with an increase in steel production capacity. The U.S. exports will 
enable the facility to produce approximately 1.4 million metric tons of 
HBI as a steel scrap substitute. Initial production of HBI at this 
facility is expected to commence in 2008.
    Available information indicates that the HBI will be consumed 
primarily in the Ukraine, with smaller amounts being consumed in Russia 
and Holland. 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.

Director, Policy Oversight and Review.
