EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES

[Public Notice 2016-6025]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

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

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 92-34, Application for Short-Term Letter of Credit 
Insurance Policy.

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as 
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 governments and by absorbing credit risks 
that the private section will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. 
exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price 
and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 
12 U.S.C. 635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for Ex-
Im Bank support.
    This form is used by a financial institution (or broker acting on 
its behalf) in order to obtain approval for non-honoring coverage of 
short-term letters of credit. The information received provides Ex-Im 
Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of 
the eligibility of the applicant and transaction for Ex-Im Bank 
assistance under its programs.
    The application can be viewed at http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib92-34.pdf.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before November 14, 2016 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments maybe submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Michele Kuester, Export Import Bank 
of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20571.
