Form Title

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as a 
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burden, invites the general public and other Federal Agencies to 
comment on the proposed information collection, as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. By neutralizing the effect of export 
credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign government and by 
absorbing credit risks that the provide section will not accept, Export 
Import Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign 
markets. These collections of information are used by exporters to 
convey legal rights to their financial institution lenders to share 
insurance policy proceeds from Export Import Bank approved insurance 
claims.
