EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES

[Public Notice: 2017-6002]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

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

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 support offered by 
foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private 
sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete 
fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. Under the 
Working Capital Guarantee Program, Ex-Im Bank provides repayment 
guarantees to lenders on secured, short-term working capital loans made 
to qualified exporters. The guarantee may be approved for a single loan 
or a revolving line of credit. In the event that a borrower defaults on 
a transaction guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank the guaranteed lender may seek 
payment by the submission of a claim.
    This collection of information is necessary to determine if such 
claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant working 
capital guarantee. The Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss, Working 
Capital Guarantee is used to determine compliance with the terms of the 
guarantee and the appropriateness of paying a claim. Export-Import Bank
