AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

    Form Title: Application for Issuing Bank Credit Limit (IBCL) Under 
Bank Letter of Credit Policy.
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.
    The Application for Issuing Bank Credit Limit (IBCL) Under Bank 
Letter of Credit Policy will be used by entities involved in the export 
of US goods and services.
    We have made the following changes to this application:
    a. Added the following questions:
    1. How many new FTEs in the U.S. do you export to hire this year to 
help obtain and fulfill your export sales covered by this letter of 
credit?
    2. How many existing FTEs in the U.S. do you currently have on 
staff to obtain and fulfill your export sales covered by this letter of 
credit?

[[Page 27556]]

    These two questions have been added in order to better assess the 
impact export financing has on U.S. employment. It is generally 
understood that assisting U.S. exports results in improved U.S. 
employment; the information from these questions will be used to 
quantify the expected benefit from Ex-Im Bank's support.
    Our customers will be able to submit this form on paper or 
electronically. The information collected will provide information 
needed to determine compliance and creditworthiness for transaction 
requests submitted to the Export Import Bank under its long term 
guarantee and direct loan programs.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before July 16, 2010 to be 
assured of consideration.
