Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 12-01 Medium-Term Master Guarantee Agreement 
Disbursement Approval Request.

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM 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. EXIM Bank has an electronic 
disbursement approval processing system for guarantee lenders with 
transactions documented under Medium-Term Master Guarantee Agreements. 
After an export transaction has been authorized by EXIM Bank and legal 
documentation has been completed, the lender will obtain and review the 
required disbursement documents (e.g., invoices, bills of lading, 
Exporter's Certificate, etc.) and will disburse the proceeds of the 
loan for eligible goods and services. In order to obtain approval of 
the disbursement, the lender will access and complete an electronic 
questionnaire through EXIM Bank's online application system (EXIM 
Online). Using the form, the lender will input key data and request 
EXIM Bank's approval of the disbursement. EXIM Bank's action (approved 
or denied) is posted on the lender's history page.
    The information collected in the questionnaire will assist EXIM 
Bank in determining that each disbursement under a Medium-Term 
Guarantee meets all the terms and conditions for approval.
    The information collection tool can be reviewed at: http://exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib12-01.pdf.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 29, 2019 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Michele Kuester, Export-Import Bank,
