Title: Terrorism Risk Insurance Program—Program Cap on Annual Liability. Abstract: The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (TRIA),1 established the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP),2 which the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Secretary) administers, with the assistance of the Federal Insurance Office.3 Section 103(e) of TRIA sets a limit on the annual liability for insured losses at $100 billion. This section requires the Secretary to notify Congress not later than 15 days after an act of terrorism as to whether aggregate insured losses are estimated to exceed the cap. TRIA, as amended, also requires the Secretary to determine the pro rata share of insured losses under the Program when insured losses exceed the cap, and to issue regulations for carrying this out. In order to meet these requirements, Treasury may need to obtain loss information from involved insurers. This would be accomplished by the issuance of a ‘‘data call’’ to ascertain insurer losses. In the event of the imposition on insurers of a ‘‘pro rata loss percentage’’, it will be necessary to determine compliance when processing insurer claims for payment of the Federal share of compensation. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114–1) (2015 Reauthorization Act) requires insurers participating in the Program to submit to Treasury certain information regarding the operation of the Program. Treasury is presently considering the information that should be collected under the 2015 Reauthorization Act. It is possible that information that will be collected pursuant to this process under consideration might affect the amount of information that would need to be 1 15 U.S.C. 6701 note.

    Title: Terrorism Risk Insurance Program--Program Cap on Annual 
Liability.
    Abstract: The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended 
(TRIA),\1\ established the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP),\2\ 
which the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Secretary) 
administers, with the assistance of the Federal Insurance Office.\3\ 
Section 103(e) of TRIA sets a limit on the annual liability for insured 
losses at $100 billion. This section requires the Secretary to notify 
Congress not later than 15 days after an act of terrorism as to whether 
aggregate insured losses are estimated to exceed the cap. TRIA, as 
amended, also requires the Secretary to determine the pro rata share of 
insured losses under the Program when insured losses exceed the cap, 
and to issue regulations for carrying this out. In order to meet these 
requirements, Treasury may need to obtain loss information from 
involved insurers. This would be accomplished by the issuance of a 
``data call'' to ascertain insurer losses. In the event of the 
imposition on insurers of a ``pro rata loss percentage'', it will be 
necessary to determine compliance when processing insurer claims for 
payment of the Federal share of compensation. The Terrorism Risk 
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-1) (2015 
Reauthorization Act) requires insurers participating in the Program to 
submit to Treasury certain information regarding the operation of the 
Program. Treasury is presently considering the information that should 
be collected under the 2015 Reauthorization Act. It is possible that 
information that will be collected pursuant to this process under 
consideration might affect the amount of information that would need to 
be collected pursuant to this currently approved data collection. 
Treasury will address such issues in connection with any notice that it 
issues concerning data collection under the Terrorism Risk Insurance 
Program Reauthorization Act of 2015. This extension is sought to 
maintain the existing approved data collection in place, consistent 
with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, pending the 
proposal by Treasury of any additional data collection in connection 
with the Program.
