EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice: 2019-3025]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: New Submission for OMB review and final comments request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 15-04 Exporter's Certificate for Co-Financed Loan, 
Guarantee & MT Insurance Programs.
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. Ex-Im Bank's borrowers, financial 
institution policy holders and guaranteed lenders provide this form to 
U.S. exporters, who certify to the eligibility of their exports for Ex-
Im Bank support. For direct loans and loan guarantees, the completed 
form is required to be submitted at time of disbursement and held by 
either the guaranteed lender or Ex-Im Bank. For MT insurance, the 
completed forms are held by the financial institution, only to be 
submitted to Ex-Im Bank in the event of a claim filing. Ex-Im Bank uses 
the referenced form to obtain exporter certifications regarding the 
export transaction, content sourcing, and their eligibility to 
participate in USG programs with respect to co-financed transactions. 
These details are necessary to determine the value and legitimacy of 
Ex-Im Bank financing support and claims submitted. It also provides the 
financial institutions a check on the export transaction's eligibility 
at the time it is fulfilling a financing request.
    The information collection tool can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib15-04.pdf.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 8, 2020 to be
