EXPORT-IMPORT BANK
[Public Notice 2015-6004]
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 84-01 Joint Application for Export Working Capital
Guarantee.
SUMMARY: This is a joint application form for working capital loan
guarantees provided by Ex-Im Bank and the Small Business
Administration. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant
to 12 U.S.C. 635(a)(1) and 15 U.S.C. 636(a)(14), to determine
eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank or SBA assistance.
The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the
applicant provide the number of employees or annual sales volume. That
information is needed to determine whether or not they meet the SBA's
definition of a small business. The applicant already provides their
name, address and industry code (NAICS). These additional pieces of
information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the extent to which
its support assists U.S. small businesses.
The other change that Ex-Im Bank has made is to require the
applicant to indicate whether it is a minority-owned business, women-
owned business and/or veteran-owned business. Although answers to the
questions are mandatory, the company may choose any one of the three
answers: Yes/No/Not Disclosed. The option of ``Not Disclosed'' allows a
company to consciously decline to answer the specific question should
they not wish to provide that information.
The application tool can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib84-01.pdf.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 27, 2015 to be
assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV or by mail to Michele Kuester, Export-Import Bank
of the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20571.
