AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review and Comments Request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 11-08 Application for Global Credit Express 
Revolving Line of Credit.
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 Global Credit Express Revolving Line of Credit 
will be used to determine the eligibility of the applicant and the 
transaction for Export-Import Bank assistance under its Working Capital 
Guarantee and Direct Loan Program. Export-Import Bank customers will be 
able to submit this form on paper or electronically.
    This is a new application form for use by small U.S. businesses 
with limited export experience. Companies that are eligible to use the 
Application for Global Credit Express Revolving Line of Credit will 
need to answer approximately 35 questions and sign an acknowledgement 
of the certifications that appear on page 5 of the application form. 
This program relies to a large extent on the exporter's qualifying 
score on the FICO (Fair Issac Corporation) SBSS (Small Business Scoring 
Service). Therefore the financial and credit information needs are 
minimized. This new form incorporates the recently updated standard 
Certifications and Notices section as well as one question about the 
amount of U.S. employment to be supported by this program.
    The application can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/pub/pending/EIB11-08.pdf. Application for Global Credit Express Revolving
