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 is submitting the data collection forms
proposed for use in the 2019 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.

There are no changes to the per
response burden estimates as provided in connection with the CY
2019 data collection. The number of anticipated responding insurers
has been modified upward based upon the experience in the CY 2018
data collection in terms of the number of insurers actually
required to respond. Treasury will continue to collect information
concerning the burden associates with the data production, and will
use such information in evaluating future collection requirements.
In addition, the utilization of a consolidated data collection
approach with state insurance regulators reduces total burdens upon
insurers required to report terrorism risk insurance data.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;

(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and

number;
