Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13.
Bureau: International Trade Administration.
Title: BISNIS Finance Link.
Agency Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 0625-0231.
Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Estimated Burden: 33 hours.

Est. Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's Business Information Service for the Newly Independent States offers business intelligence and counseling to U.S. companies seeking to export or invest in the countries of the former Soviet Union. One of the essential components of BISNIS's services is assisting companies in locating suitable financing for exports. Often, official sources, such as the Export-Import Bank of the United States, cannot handle all requests for a variety of reasons. FinanceLink is an internet-based service to facilitate contact between exporters and financing agencies. Exporters fill out a form giving relevant details about the desired transaction and submit it via Internet to BISNIS; BISNIS will, in turn, distribute the information collected to potential financing agencies. The intention is to provide a service that benefits both exporters and financing agencies.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
