This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Kankakee VOR, which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the VOR MON Program. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15. Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS 16:51 Nov 09, 2020 Jkt 253001 Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g); 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) 1 was enacted following the attacks on September 11, 2001 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 help private markets stabilize and build insurance capacity to absorb any future losses for terrorism events. TRIA requires insurers to ‘‘make available’’ terrorism risk insurance for commercial property and casualty losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism (insured losses) and provides for shared public and private compensation for such insured losses. Under TRIA, the Secretary of the Treasury administers the Program, with the assistance of FIO. The Program was originally scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2005, but it was extended several times between 2005 and 2015.2 Most recently, on December 20, 2019, President Trump 1 15 U.S.C. 6701 note. Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, Public Law 109–144, 119 Stat. 2660; Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, Public Law 110–160, 121 Stat.1839; Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, Public Law 114–1, 129 Stat. 3. 2 Terrorism PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 signed into law the 2019 Reauthorization Act.3 Section 502 of that Act extends the Program’s termination date to December 31, 2027. The risk-sharing mechanisms for calendar year 2020 remain constant for the entire reauthorization period, and are not modified by the 2019 Reauthorization Act.4 Treasury is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking to align certain dates in the Program regulations with the 2019 Reauthorization Act. Treasury is also taking this opportunity to update links to the Program website in the regulations. Treasury is also proposing several changes in response to a recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) addressing certain sources of risk and uncertainty related to the Program.5 In the report, GAO indicated that, based upon its engagement with stakeholders during the preparation of the report, some uncertainty may exist about how Treasury would factor in policyholder retention amounts in calculating ‘‘property and casualty insurance losses’’ versus ‘‘insured losses’’ to determine the Program certification threshold, Program Trigger, and Program Cap.6 GAO recommended that Treasury provide further clarification to ‘‘prevent uncertainty in the insurance market and potential litigation following a terrorist event that could delay insurance payments and economic recovery.’’ 7 Treasury agrees that the reduction of uncertainty is an important goal. Accordingly, Treasury proposes certain rule changes designed to clarify how Treasury will apply these defined terms to effectuate the intent and goals of the Program. Treasury is also proposing certain changes based on previous Treasury guidance regarding cyber coverage. In December 2016, Treasury issued interim guidance confirming that certain standalone cyber coverage written in a TRIPeligible line of insurance was within the scope of the Program, such that insurers were obligated to adhere to the ‘‘make available’’ and disclosure requirements under TRIA for such coverage.8 3 Public Law 116–94, 133 Stat. 2534, Title V. sec. 103(e)(1)(B)(vi). 5 GAO, Terrorism Risk Insurance: Program Changes Have Reduced Federal Fiscal Exposure (GAO–20–348) (April 2020), https://www.gao.gov/ assets/710/706243.pdf. 6 Id. at 18–19. 7 Id. at 19. 8 Guidance Concerning Stand-Alone Cyber Liability Insurance Policies Under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, 81 FR 95312 (Dec. 27, 2016) (Cyber Guidance), https:// www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/27/ 2016-31244/guidance-concerning-stand-alone4 TRIA, E:\FR\FM\10NOP1.SGM 10NOP1
