Abstract

EXIM 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 EXIM Bank support. For loan guarantees, the completed form is required to be submitted at time of disbursement and held by either the guaranteed lender or EXIM Bank. For MT insurance, the completed forms are held by the financial institution, only to be submitted to EXIM Bank in the event of a claim filing. EXIM 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 EXIM 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.

Abstract

Section 731 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act, Pub L. No. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) by adding sections 4s(f), 4s(g), and 4s(i), among others. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission promulgated regulations 23.500-23.505, which obligate swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) to develop and retain written swap trading relationship documentation. The final regulations also establish requirements for SDs and MSPs regarding swap confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression. Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression are important, post-trade processing mechanisms for reducing risk and improving operational efficiency. *Note: The collections of information under OMB control numbers 3038-0068, 3038-0083, and 3038-0088 are now consolidated under OMB control number 3038-0088, and OMB control numbers 3038-0068 and 3038-0083 have been withdrawn as of July 5, 2022. Concurrently with this change, the Commission has changed the name associated with OMB control number 3038-0088 to “Swap Documentation.” While the collection has been renewed until June 30, 2025, this amended supporting statement is now submitted to correct the aggregate burden hours for the consolidated collection, and to officially affirm the discontinuance of OMB control numbers 3038-0068 and 3038-0083.

The Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the finance of export 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, EXIM Bank enables U.S. exporters to complete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the export for EXIM Bank assistance. This form will enable EXIM Bank to identify the specific details of the export transaction. These details are necessary for determining the eligibility of disbursements for approval.

Abstract

An SBA Disaster Loan borrower and any contractors, subcontractors, or agents of such borrower, who seek to engage in Disaster-Related Activities without complying with a State or Local Requirement preempted under § 123.803 may do so only where the SBA Disaster Loan borrower has provided to SBA, prior to commencement of Disaster-Related Activities, a certification by the borrower’s builder(s) that the builder has so far, and will in the future, comply with and adhere to any applicable state and local rules and regulations not preempted under § 123.803. Such non-preempted rules and regulations include, but are not limited to, building codes, health and safety requirements, inspection requirements (which may be conducted by local government inspectors or qualified, independent third-party inspectors), and any other processes required to obtain a certificate of occupancy at the completion of Disaster-Related Activities.Emergency Justfication:See attached Emergency Justification Memo. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for a new Information Collection Request (“ICR”). SBA seeks approval by January 28, 2026, to enable immediate collection of a document from SBA Disaster Loan borrowers that includes a certification from their builder(s). This information is essential to the mission of the SBA to ensure the timely and effective delivery of assistance under the Disaster Loan Program authorized under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(b)) (“Disaster Loan Program”) following a Presidentially declared disaster. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii). SBA published an interim final rule on January 29, 2026. This rule preempts certain state and local requirements impacting the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of damaged or destroyed property and associated activities financed by the Disaster Loan Program when such requirements cause delay in the use of SBA Disaster Loan Program proceeds. The rule is necessary to reconcile non-federal requirements that undermine Congress’s objective of rapid housing and business recovery, public health and safety restoration, and economic stabilization after disasters. The rule creates a new information collection to allow for certification of compliance with state and local requirements. Because the rule is effective on January 29, 2026, the use of normal clearance procedures is extremely likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information required under the regulation. As a result, this information must be collected prior to the expiration of the ordinary time periods for notice and comment. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(i). . . Cont'd in memo

Abstract

This is a request to transfer an approved portion of the reporting burden currently in 1845-0116 to 1845-0021. There are no changes to that already approved portion, only the increase of hours for 1845-0021 due to the transfer. This requested action removes from 1845-0116 the information collection sections of the regulations, 685.301 (c) and 685.309 (b), that require reporting William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan Program) borrower information to the Secretary, to the 1845-0021 ICR. By including these reporting requirements in the information collection that manages the regulatory burden for the Direct Loan Program, it will now allow for improved monitoring of any changes in the burden assessment as well as streamlining the number of information collections which the public and the Department must track. See attached for additional explanation.Emergency Justfication:The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) made statutory changes affecting regulations that fall under this collection, 1845- William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations. As a result, the Department must amend 34 CFR 685.205 to conform with the new requirements by going through the rulemaking process, including going through a negotiated rulemaking, proposed and final rulemaking process. Due to the statutory deadlines associated with OBBBA, and the government shutdown, ED was not able to pursue the standard PRA renewal process for this collection. The expiration of this collection will create both confusion and potential harm to loan borrowers and loan servicers if the collection expires. The Department requests an emergency reinstatement for six months to keep this collection current, until the RISE rule is finalized, and the collection is revised accordingly.

Abstract

The Secretary establishes regulations for Federal Pell Grants (Pell Grants or Pell) for Prison Education Programs (PEPs), to implement the statutory requirements in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, that amend the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), to establish Pell Grant eligibility for a confined or incarcerated individual enrolled in a PEP. These regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaking and added new title IV regulations to especially in Subpart P of 34 CFR Section 668. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 added section 484(t) to the HEA to formally establish Pell Grant eligibility for confined or incarcerated individuals, as long as they are enrolled in a PEP as defined under the HEA. The regulations implement the statutory requirements allowing access to Federal Pell Grants for individuals who are confined or incarcerated when enrolled in programs that meet necessary standards. This collection established the burden under regulations at 34 CFR 668.237 - Accreditation requirements. These regulations prescribe program evaluation at the first two additional Prison Education Program (PEP) locations of a participating institution of higher education to ensure institutional ability to offer and implement the PEP in accordance with the accrediting agency's standards. The regulations require the accrediting agency to conduct a site visit no later than one year after the institution has initiated a PEP at its first two additional locations at correctional facilities. Additionally, the regulations require accrediting agencies to review the methodology used by an institution in determining the PEP meets the same standards for substantially similar non-PEP programs offered at the institution.

Abstract

In 2018, HHS designated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus (U.S. NAC) for the United States. The U.S. NAC is located in the Center for Preparedness and Response (CPR). The role of the U.S. NAC is to ensure that the requirements established in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan (GAP) III and IV standards are effectively implemented and maintained in poliovirus- essential facilities. Part of this standard includes emergency planning, the implementation of surveillance following an incident, and the reporting of facility-associated poliovirus events to the U.S. NAC. Risk assessments following an incident are a critical component for adequate application of the GAPIII/GAPIV standard and efficient emergency response. The goal of the project is to collect data in the event of a poliovirus breach of containment - as well as to understand the biosafety practices of facilities working on poliovirus and mitigations strategies in place to reduce risks. These goals are in line with World Health Organization's Global Action Plan (GAP) for Poliovirus containment efforts. This information will assist with meeting the goals of the Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and prevents the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.
