This information collection is made
necessary by the provisions of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of
2002 (the Act), the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005
(the Extension Act), the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2007 (the 2007 Reauthorization Act), the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (the
2015 Reauthorization Act), and the Department of Treasury
regulations (31 CFR Part 50) (the Program Rules) for their
implementation. On November 26, 2002, the President signed into law
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-297, 116
Stat. 2322) (TRIA or the Act). The Act’s purposes are to address
market disruptions, ensure the continued widespread availability
and affordability of commercial property and casualty insurance for
terrorism risk, and allow for a transition period for the private
markets to stabilize and build capacity while preserving state
insurance regulation and consumer protections. TRIA has been
reauthorized three times, most recently with the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-1, 129
Stat. 3) (2015 Reauthorization Act), which extended the Program
through December 31, 2020. Title I of the Act establishes a
temporary federal program of shared public and private compensation
for insured commercial property and casualty losses resulting from
an act of terrorism. Section 103 of the Act authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to administer and implement the Program,
including the issuance of regulations and procedures. Pursuant to
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the
Federal Insurance Office assists the Secretary in administering the
Program.

The operation of the Program
depends upon a number of information collections which may need to
be made to determine the right to and amount of Federal payments to
which participating insurers would be entitled. Now that Program
Rules have been adopted to conform the Program with the reforms
enacted in the 2015 Reauthorization Act (see 81 FR 93756 (Dec. 21,
2016)), Treasury seeks to modify existing collections and add new
components in a fashion consistent with existing law. Treasury also
seeks to increase administrative efficiency by consolidating these
information collections under existing information collection OMB
1505-0200. These information collections include the following: •
Commercial Property and Casualty Insurers Submission for Federal
Share of Compensation (Existing OMB No. 1505-0200) • Litigation
Management – Information Collection Regarding Proposed Settlements
(Formerly OMB No. 1505-0196) • Recoupment Provisions of the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (Formerly OMB No. 1505-0207) • Cap on
Annual Liability (Formerly OMB No. 1505-0208) • Certification Data
Call (New) • Monthly Claims Report (New) • Commutations Under Final
Netting Rule (New) • Recordkeeping Requirements for Insurers
Compensated under Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (OMB No.
1505-0197)
