NOTICE: NOTICES
DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before January 19, 2005, to be assured of consideration.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The Export-Import 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 required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The purpose of the survey is to fulfill a statutory mandate (The ExportImport Bank Act of 1945, as amended 12 U.S.C. 635) which directs ExIm Bank to report annually to the U.S. Congress any action taken toward providing export credit programs that are competitive with those offered by official foreign export credit agencies. The Act further stipulates that the annual report on competitiveness should include the results of a survey of U.S. exporters and U.S. commercial lending institutions which provide export credit to determine their experience in meeting financial competition from other countries whose exporters compete with U.S. exporters. Accordingly, ExIm Bank is requesting that the proposed survey (EIB No. 0002) be administered via its Web site to exporters and bankers that use ExIm Bank's medium and longterm programs, requesting them to evaluate the competitiveness of ExIm Bank's programs vis[aacute]vis foreign export credit agencies.
