EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES
[Public Notice 2015-0703]
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 92-30 Report of Premiums Payable for Financial
Institutions Only.
SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is
requesting an emergency approval for form EIB 92-30, Report of Premiums
Payable for Financial Institutions Only, in order to enhance the
identification and classification of small businesses, as well as
minority-, woman-, and veteran-owned businesses. The Bank will
subsequently proceed with the regular authorization request for this
form as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 U.S.C.
Sec. 635(a)(1), to determine eligibility of the export sales for
insurance coverage. The Report of Premiums Payable for Financial
Institutions Only is used to determine the eligibility of the
shipment(s) and to calculate the premium due to Ex-Im Bank for its
support of the shipment(s) under its insurance program. Export-Import
Bank customers will be able to submit this form on paper or
electronically.
The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the
insured financial institution provide the industry code (NAICS)
associated with each specific export as well as specific information
needed to make a determination as to whether or not the exporter meets
the SBA's definition of a small business. The insured financial
institution already provides a short description of the goods and/or
services being exported and the name and address of the exporter. These
additional pieces of information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track
what exports it is covering with its insurance policy and the extent to
which its support assists U.S. small businesses.
The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the insured
financial institution to indicate whether the exporter is a minority-
owned business, women-owned business and/or veteran-owned business.
Although answers to the question are mandatory, the company may choose
any one of the three answers: Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of
``Decline to Answer'' allows a company to consciously decline to answer
the specific question should they not wish to answer.
