EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 2017-6009]


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 (EXIM), 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, EXIM enables U.S. exporters 
to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. 
This collection of information is necessary to determine eligibility of 
the applicant for EXIM 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 EXIM 
staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the 
eligibility of the applicant and transaction for EXIM 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 February 15, 2018 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV (EIB 92-34) or by mail to Office of Management and 
Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 725 17th Street 
NW, Washington, DC 20038 Attn: OMB-3048-0009.
