(2) premiums earned on such coverage;
(3) geographical location of exposures;
(4) pricing of such coverage; (5) the takeup rate for such coverage; (6) the
amount of private reinsurance for acts of
terrorism purchased; and (7) such other
matters as the Secretary considers
appropriate.
In addition, Section 108(h) of TRIA
requires the Secretary to conduct, by
June 30, 2017 and every other year
thereafter, a study of small insurers (to
be defined by the Secretary, as has been
done under 31 CFR 50.4(z))
participating in the Program to identify
any competitive challenges that small
insurers face in the terrorism risk
insurance marketplace. Section 108(h)
also identifies specific matters that
Treasury is required to analyze in the
small insurers study. In addition to the
data that Treasury has previously
collected and will be collecting in the
future, Treasury seeks comments for use
in the study that Treasury must conduct
concerning the participation of small
insurers in the Program.

II. Solicitation for Comments on Small
Insurer Participation in the Program
As discussed above, Treasury will be
collecting certain data from small
insurers as part of its 2021 TRIP Data
Call,2 which Treasury will use (along
with data collected by Treasury during
prior TRIP Data Calls) in connection
with the study. Treasury welcomes
comments concerning small insurer
participation in the Program generally,
and invites responses to the following
particular issues specified in Section
108(h) of TRIA:
(1) Changes to the market share,
premium volume, and policyholder
surplus of small insurers relative to
large insurers.
(2) How the property and casualty
insurance market for terrorism risk
differs between small and large insurers,
and whether such a difference exists
within other perils.
(3) The impact of the Program’s
mandatory availability requirement
under Section 103(c) of TRIA on small
insurers.
(4) The effect of increasing the trigger
amount for the Program under Section
103(e)(1)(B) of TRIA for small insurers.
(5) The availability and cost of private
reinsurance for small insurers.
(6) The impact that state workers’
compensation laws have on small
insurers and workers’ compensation
carriers in the terrorism risk insurance
marketplace.
2 The 2021 TRIP Data Call commenced March 12,
2021. See 86 FR 14179 (March 12, 2021).

In addition, Treasury welcomes
qualitative and quantitative comments
on the following specific topics that
may be relevant to the competitiveness
of small insurers in the terrorism risk
insurance marketplace.
(1) Any potential constraints on the
ability of small insurers to provide
coverage for nuclear, chemical,
biological, and radiological (NBCR)
risks.
(2) Any risk management strategies
and challenges faced by small insurers
in maintaining the ability to pay losses
associated with insured claims that are
not subject to claims for the federal
share of compensation (e.g., losses
below the Program Trigger, within the
insurer deductible, and within the
insurer co- pay share).
(3) The impact, if any, on small
insurer participation in the terrorism
risk insurance marketplace of the 2019
reauthorization of the Program until
December 31, 2027, under the sharing
mechanisms in place as of Calendar
Year 2020.3
(4) The role of small insurers in
covering cyber-related acts of terrorism
under the Program.
(5) The role of small insurers in
covering terrorism risk under the
Program for Places of Worship.4
(6) Any potential issues posed for
small insurers in the terrorism risk
insurance marketplace by market
impacts resulting from the COVID–19
pandemic.
Treasury issued its first two studies of
small insurers under TRIA in June
20175 and June 2019.6 In those studies,
Treasury addressed the statutory issues
identified above, with reference to data
collected by Treasury in the TRIP Data
Calls, as well as other available sources.
Treasury requests further comment on
these issues from interested parties,
particularly with respect to any issue
that an interested party believes may not
be fully evident solely by reference to

Reauthorization Act of 2019, Public Law 116–94,

SUMMARY:

Jkt 253001
Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D.
Veterans Health Care and Benefits
Improvement Act of 2020 (the ‘‘Act’’),
amended 38 U.S.C. 1730A by
prohibiting VA from collecting
copayments from covered Veterans for
the receipt of hospital care or medical
services under laws administered by
VA. Pursuant to the Act, covered
Veteran means a Veteran who is
catastrophically disabled, as defined by
VA, or an Indian or urban Indian (as
defined in section 4 of the Indian Health
Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C.
1603)). Catastrophically-disabled
Veterans have been exempt from certain
copayments pursuant to section 1730A,
since 2010, and this exemption is
further implemented in VA’s copayment
regulations at §§ 17.108, 17.110 and
17.111 of title 38, Code of Federal
Regulations. Veterans who are Indians
or urban Indians will not be eligible for
copayment exemption until January 5,
2022, as section 3002 of the Act does
not take effect until 1 year from the date
of enactment of the Act. In order to
implement section 3002 of the Act, VA
must be able to identify Indian and
urban Indian Veterans in VA’s system of
enrollment during the registration
process to assist with downstream
applications for copayment billing
determinations. This will be a new
business process to collect official
information to recognize Veterans who
are Indians or urban Indians. This tribal
consultation session is seeking input
from tribal governments, Indians and
urban Indians regarding documentation
that can be used by VA’s health care
system to identify those Veterans who
are Indians or urban Indians (as defined
in 25 U.S.C. 1603). Input received
during the tribal consultation session
will be evaluated and as appropriate,
incorporated into any rulemaking and/
or policy for copayment exemptions
under 38 U.S.C. 1730A.
Tribal Consultation Topics
VA seeks responses to the following
questions:
1. In determining whether a Veteran
is a member of an Indian tribe, could
any or all of the following
documentation from the Veteran
provide sufficient documentation?
• Tribal Enrollment Card;
• Certificate of Degree of Indian; or
• Certificate of Indian Blood from an
American Indian/Alaska Native Tribe.
2. What other information and/or
documentation are available for
determining if a Veteran is a member of
an Indian tribe? To the extent possible,
please indicate the source of the
information and/or how the information
and/or documentation would assist VA
PO 00000
Frm 00156
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

in determining if a Veteran is a member
of an Indian tribe.
3. How should VA determine whether
a Veteran is a member of an Indian
tribe? In making this determination,
should VA:
• Require documentation be provided
by the Veteran;
• Require that the Veteran self-certify
that they meet the definition; or
• Should this determination be made
in some other manner?
Signing Authority:
Denis McDonough, Secretary of
Veterans Affairs, approved this
document on March 29, 2021, and
authorized the undersigned to sign and
submit the document to the Office of the
Federal Register for publication
electronically as an official document of
the Department of Veterans Affairs.
