[Public Notice: 2013-6008]


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 92-51 Application for Special Buyer Credit Limit 
Under the Multi-Buyer Export Credit Insurance Policy
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.
    The Application for Special Buyer Credit Limit under the Multi-
Buyer Export Credit Insurance Policy is used by policyholders, the 
majority of whom are U.S. small businesses, who export U.S. goods and 
services. This application provides Ex-Im Bank with the credit 
information necessary to make a determination of eligibility of a 
transaction for Ex-Im Bank support with a foreign buyer credit request 
and to obtain legislatively required assurance of repayment and 
fulfills other statutory requirements.
    The application can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib9251_2-14-13.pdf Application for Special Buyer Credit Limit 
Multi-buyer Credit Insurance Policy.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before March 3, 2014 to be 
assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on 
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Jean Fitzgibbon, Export-Import Bank 
of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20571.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Titles and Form Number: EIB 92-51 Application for Special buyer 
credit Limit Multi-buyer Credit Insurance Policy.
    OMB Number: 3048-0015.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Need and Use: The information requested enables the applicant to 
provide Ex-Im Bank with the information necessary to obtain 
legislatively required assurance of repayment and fulfills other 
statutory requirements.
    This form has been reorganized to present the information in a more 
logical manner. Additionally, questions related to the goods and/or 
services being exported have been removed as Ex-Im Bank already has 
that information. Two general questions, questions about the export 
sale, and questions about the applicant's experience with the proposed 
buyer

[[Page 134]]

have been added to the application form. In order to reduce the burden 
impact on the applicant, many of the questions have been presented as 
Yes/No or check box questions. Including these questions in the 
application form will remove the need for Ex-Im Bank to contact the 
applicant for additional information after the application has been 
submitted.
