SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), 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. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 
12 U.S.C. Sec. 635(a)(1), to determine whether or not a company has a 
good payment history.
    This form will enable EXIM to make a credit decision on a foreign 
buyer credit limit request submitted by a new or existing policy 
holder. Additionally, this form is used by those EXIM policy holders 
granted delegated authority to commit the Bank to a foreign buyer 
credit limit.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before April 8, 2019 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
www.regulations.gov (EIB 99-14) or by email to [email protected], or 
by mail to Mia L. Johnson, Export-Import Bank of the United States, 811 
Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20571. The form can be viewed at http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib99-14.pdf.
