[Public Notice: 2015 3004]
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. Sec. 635 (a) (1) and 15 U.S.C. Sec. 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

Comments must be received on or before January 8, 2016 to be assured of consideration.
