SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
TRIA 1 requires participating insurers
to make insurance available for losses
resulting from acts of terrorism and
provides a federal government backstop
for the insurers’ resulting financial
exposure. TRIA established TRIP within
Treasury, and TRIP is administered by
the Secretary with the assistance of FIO.
TRIA Section 104(h)(2) requires the
Secretary to periodically prepare and
submit a report to the Committee on
Financial Services of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of
the Senate on, among other things, the
impact and effectiveness of TRIP
(Effectiveness Report). TRIA was
reauthorized in December 2019 with an
additional requirement that Treasury’s
Effectiveness Reports analyze the
availability and affordability of
terrorism risk insurance, including
specifically for houses of worship. The
Effectiveness Report to be submitted by
June 30, 2024 will include an analysis
of information that is being collected by
Treasury through the 2024 TRIP Data
Call,2 as well as data that Treasury
collected in prior TRIP data calls.
Treasury’s data calls are conducted to
obtain information to facilitate
Treasury’s analysis of the effectiveness
of TRIP and the competitiveness of
small insurers in the terrorism risk
1 Public Law 107–297, 116 Stat. 2322, codified at
15 U.S.C. 6701, note. Because the provisions of
TRIA (as amended) appear in a note, instead of
particular sections, of the United States Code, the
provisions of TRIA are identified by the sections of
the law.
2 A notice announcing the commencement of the
2024 TRIP Data Call also appears in this issue of
the Federal Register.

insurance marketplace,3 as well as to
assist Treasury more generally in the
administration of TRIP.
II. Solicitation for Comments
This request for comment will
provide stakeholders the opportunity to
provide qualitative feedback and
analysis that may not be otherwise
observable through the results of the
TRIP data calls. Information and views
of stakeholders on the factors listed
above will assist Treasury in the
formulation of the Effectiveness Report
and provide a meaningful opportunity
for stakeholder engagement. In addition,
and more generally, such public input
may assist the Secretary in the
administration of TRIP.
Statutory Factors
Treasury seeks comments on each of
the following factors, which Treasury is
required under TRIA Section 104(h)(2)
to consider in the Effectiveness Report:
1. The overall effectiveness of TRIP;
2. The availability and affordability of
terrorism risk insurance, including
specifically for places of worship;
3. Any changes or trends relating to
the data Treasury collects in its annual
TRIP data calls, and the implications of
such observations with regard to the
effectiveness of TRIP;
4. Whether any aspects of TRIP have
the effect of discouraging or impeding
insurers from providing one or more
lines of commercial property and
casualty insurance coverage or coverage
for acts of terrorism; and
5. Any impact of TRIP on workers’
compensation insurers in particular.
In addition to seeking comments on
the above factors outlined in Section
104(h)(2) of TRIA, Treasury understands
that other issues and factors in the
insurance market relating to terrorism
risk insurance, other than those factors
specified in TRIA, could have an impact
on the effectiveness of the Program, as
well as FIO’s administration of TRIP.
Treasury accordingly also seeks
comments on the following topics:
Additional Topics
1. Whether the lines of insurance
currently subject to the Program
properly identify those areas where
TRIP is necessary to ensure the
availability and affordability of
terrorism risk insurance, or whether
certain lines of insurance should either
be deleted or added;
2. The availability of terrorism risk
insurance coverage for losses arising
from nuclear, biological, chemical, or
radiological (NBCR) exposures, and the
