Abstract: The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) created the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (Program) to address disruptions in the market for terrorism risk insurance, to help ensure the continued availability and affordability of commercial property and casualty insurance for terrorism risk, and to allow for the private markets to stabilize and build insurance capacity to absorb any future losses for terrorism events. The Program has been reauthorized on a number of occasions, most recently in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015. TRIA requires the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to perform periodic analyses of certain matters concerning the Program. In order to assist the Secretary with this process, TRIA requires insurers to submit on an annual basis certain insurance data and information regarding participation in the Program. Treasury requests stakeholder feedback on the data collection forms proposed for use in the 2017 data collection process, pursuant to 31 CFR 50.51(c). Copies of these forms and associated explanatory materials are available for electronic review at https://www.treasury.gov/​resource-center/​fin-mkts/​Pages/​program.aspx. Treasury also seeks comments from interested parties on issues that Treasury will be analyzing in connection with its next report concerning the Program, which will address the participation of small insurers in the Program, including any competitive challenges such insurers face in the terrorism risk insurance marketplace.

Short Statement: Section 111 of the 2015 Reauthorization Act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury, commencing in the calendar year beginning on January 1, 2016, shall require insurers participating in the Program to submit information regarding insurance coverage for terrorism losses that the Secretary considers appropriate to analyze the effectiveness of the Program. For the first year of data collection, the rules addressing data collection had only been proposed, so Treasury sought emergency clearance and review for the 2016 data collection only, as the normal public review and comment processes would not have permitted the collection of data in time for Treasury to complete a June 30, 2016 Report to Congress. Approval of a collection form for use in CY 2016 only was provided under OMB Control Number 1505-0253. Final rules addressing data collection were published on December 21, 2016. 81 FR 93756 (Dec. 21, 2016). On December 27, 2016, Treasury published a notice in the Federal Register identifying the forms proposed for use in CY 2017 and seeking comment from the public concerning those forms. 81 FR 95310 (Dec. 27, 2016). By the expiration of the comment period on February 27, 2017, Treasury had received seven (7) comments concerning the proposed collection forms, and has made a number of revisions to the forms as originally proposed, as well as to the manner of the reporting required, in response to the comments. It is estimated that between 800 and 1,000 insurance groups or individual insurance entities that meet the Act’s definition of insurer will be required to provide some amount of information in response to the data collection, and the amount of information required will vary based upon the type and size of insurer involved.
