§ 204.2 Scope of this part. This part covers ICA guaranties, which may be made in accordance with this part in furtherance of the purposes of the act and to encourage and facilitate participation by private enterprise in achieving such purposes.

§ 204.3 Applications for guaranties and place of filing. Applications for ICA guaranties should be made in writing to the Investment Guaranties Branch, ICA, Washington 25, D. C. There is no prescribed form of application, but published information on current policies of the guaranty program, including the contents of applications, may be obtained on request from ICA. Each applicant will be notified in writing

when his application has been found to be complete and is accepted for processing.

§ 204.4 Designation of Export-Import Bank of Washington as agent. Export-Import Bank of Washington is hereby designated by the Director as his agent, upon such terms as may be specified by the Director, to issue in its name, and to administer, ICA guaranties.

§ 204.5 Effect of making investment prior to issuance of guaranty.

Accordingly, the making of an investment by an applicant prior to the issuance of a guaranty covering such investment shall be grounds on which the application may be denied. However, after an application has been filed and accepted as complete, the investor may obtain a statement in writing from ICA which will permit him to proceed with the investment without prejudice to the application on the above grounds.
