Abstract:
The Export Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the financing of exports of U.S. goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and produce. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank assistance. This form is used by an exporter (or broker acting on its behalf) in order to obtain approval for coverage of the repayment risk of export sales. The information received provides Ex-Im Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and the creditworthiness of one of the applicant's foreign buyers for Ex-Im Bank assistance under its programs. The Export-Import Bank has made a change to the report to have the financial institution provide specific information (industry code, number of employees and annual sales volume) needed to make a determination as to whether or not the exporter meets the SBA's definition of a small business. The financial institution already provides the exporter's name and address. 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 financial institution to indicate whether the exporter 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/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 provide that information.
Emergency Justfication:
Ex-Im Bank has experienced a lapse in its authority. The renewal process had been started, but Ex-Im Bank’s lack of authority has hindered continued progress on the renewal. Ex-Im Bank is requesting reinstatement and to extend the expiry date for form 3048-0031 for a six month period so that Ex-Im Bank can resume operating. Thank you for your kind attention to this request.
