EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE U.S.

[Public Notice 2012-0110]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Final Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review and Comments Request.

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

    Form Title: EIB 11-05 Exporter's Certificate For Loan Guarantee & 
MT Insurance Programs.
SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), 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.
    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 believes that EIB 11-05 requires 
emergency approval in order to continue operation of its long- and 
medium-term financing programs. It is an integral component of the 
programs and is heavily used.
    Lack of an emergency approval of this form would preclude our 
ability to continue operation of its long- and medium-term financial 
institution programs. Ex-Im Bank developed the referenced form to 
obtain exporter certifications regarding the export transaction, 
content sourcing, and their eligibility to participate in USG programs. 
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.
    Accordingly, Ex-Im Bank requests emergency approval of EIB 11-05 in 
order to continue operation of these important export programs. The 
form can be view at: www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib11-05.pdf.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before August 13, 2012 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Export Import Bank, 811 Vermont Ave. 
NW., Washington, DC 20571, Attn: Donna Schneider.
