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 guaranteed 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 October 4, 2022 to be
