SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: CCC Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) Program.
OMB Number: 0551-0004.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2024.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the GSM-102 program is to expand
U.S. agricultural exports by making available export credit guarantees
to encourage U.S. private sector financing of foreign purchases of U.S.
agricultural commodities on credit terms. The CCC currently has
programs operating in at least 144 countries and regions with 95
exporters eligible to participate. Under 7 CFR part 1493, exporters,
foreign financial institutions, and U.S. financial institutions are
required to submit information including the following, as applicable:
(1) information about the exporter, foreign financial institutions, and
U.S. financial institutions for program participation; (2) applications
for payment guarantees; (3) notices of assignment; (4) repurchase
agreements; (5) information regarding the actual export of the
commodity (evidence of export report); (6) notice of default and claims
for loss; and (7) appeals. In addition, each exporter and exporter's
assignee (U.S. financial institution) must maintain records on all
information submitted to CCC and in connection with sales made under
the GSM-102 program. The information collected is used by CCC to
manage, plan, evaluate, and account for government resources. The
reports and records are required to ensure the proper and judicious use
of public funds.
Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for these
collections is estimated to average 0.278 hours per response.
Type of Respondents: U.S. exporters, U.S. financial institutions,
and foreign financial institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 47 per annum.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 86.5 per annum.
Estimated Total Annual Burden of Respondents: 1,130 hours.
