AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.

ACTION: New Submission for OMB review and Final comments request.

    Form Title: EIB 15-04 Exporter's Certificate for Co-Financed Loan, 
Guarantee & MT Insurance Programs.
SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as 
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 uses the referenced form to obtain exporter 
certifications regarding the export transaction, content sourcing, and 
their eligibility to participate in USG programs with respect to co-
financed transactions. 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.
    The information collection tool can be reviewed at: http://www.exim.gov/sites/default/files/pub/pending/eib15-04.pdf.
