EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE U.S.

[Public Notice 2010-0059]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Final Collection; 
Comment Request

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

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

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

    Form Title: Application for Express Insurance.
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 Express Insurance will be used to determine the 
eligibility of the applicant and the creditworthiness of one of the 
applicant's foreign buyers for Export-Import Bank assistance under its 
insurance program. Export-Import Bank customers will be able to submit 
this form on paper.
    This is a new application form for use by small U.S. businesses 
with limited export experience. Companies that are eligible to use the 
Express policy will need to answer approximately 20 questions and sign 
an acknowledgement of the certifications that appear on the reverse of 
the application form. This program does not provide discretionary 
credit authority to the U.S. exporter, and therefore the financial and 
credit information needs are minimized. This new form incorporates the 
recently updated standard Certification and Notices section as well as 
two questions about the amount of U.S. employment to be supported by 
this policy.
    Based upon comments received we have changed the name of this form 
from Application for Short-Term Express Export Credit Insurance Policy 
to Application for Express Insurance.
    The form can be viewed at http://www.exim.gov/pub/pending/EIB10_02.pdf.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before January 13, 2011 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments maybe submitted electronically on http://www.regulations.gov or by mail to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20038 attn: OMB 3048-
xxxx.
