Abstract: The Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the finance of export of U.S. goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, EXIM Bank enables U.S. exporters to complete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for EXIM Bank assistance. 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 Ex-Im Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and transaction for EXIM Bank assistance under its programs.

Short Statement: From time-to-time staff completes a “sample” application form for use in system testing, training, etc. The time it takes for staff to fill out the application form is 30 minutes. If the applicant has their credit information at hand, it should take the respondent 30 minutes as well. For burden calculation purposes, we assumed that it would take on average ½ hour, for respondents to complete the application. We receive, on average over the last four years, 11 applications per year. Thus, the annual burden rate can be calculated as 11 * 1/2 hour = 5.5 hours
