Download as PDF 18474 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 30, 2022 / Notices 5. Any impact of TRIP on workers’ compensation insurers in particular. 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 meaningful opportunity for stakeholder engagement. In addition, and more generally, such public input may assist the Secretary in the administration of TRIP. 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, in addition to those factors specified in TRIA, could have an impact on the effectiveness of the Program. Treasury accordingly also seeks comments on the following topics: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES General Questions 1. Whether any lines of insurance or coverages within certain lines of insurance currently subject to the Program no longer require the support of TRIP to ensure the availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance; 2. Whether any lines of insurance or coverages within certain lines of insurance currently not subject to the Program should be included within TRIP to promote the availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance; 3. Whether, and in what fashion, insurance market changes associated with the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic have also affected the market for terrorism risk insurance; 4. The availability of terrorism risk insurance coverage for losses arising from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological (NBCR) exposures, and the availability of reinsurance or capital markets support for such terrorism risk insurance; Cyber-Related Questions 5. The current state of the cyber insurance market, including the scope of coverage available, the availability and affordability of such coverage, and the effect of ransomware-related losses on the market; 6. Terrorism risk insurance issues presented by cyber-related losses, and the impact of TRIP in connection with such exposures, including views on cyber-related terrorism losses that are included within TRIP and those losses outside of TRIP; 7. Any potential changes to TRIA or TRIP that would encourage the take up VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:14 Mar 29, 2022 Jkt 256001 of insurance for cyber-related losses arising from acts of terrorism as defined under TRIA, including but not limited to the modification of the lines of insurance covered by TRIP and revisions to the current sharing mechanisms for cyber-related losses; 8. The availability of reinsurance or capital markets support for cyber-related losses arising from acts of terrorism as defined under TRIA; Other Questions 9. The manner in which captive insurers access TRIP, including the extent to which coverage is provided on a standalone versus embedded basis, or for NBCR risks only, and the reasons behind such choices; 10. The current status of terrorism risk modeling capabilities, and the use of those techniques in the placement of terrorism risk insurance; 11. Given the increasing availability of more granular information than state or metropolitan level information (such as ZIP code level or geocoded information), please provide views on how FIO could leverage such information to further augment its analysis of the terrorism risk insurance market and TRIP, particularly since the immediate physical impact of individual terrorism-related events may be localized; and 12. Any other issues relating to TRIP, terrorism risk insurance, or reinsurance that may be relevant to FIO’s assessment of the effectiveness of TRIP in the report. Steven E. Seitz, Director, Federal Insurance Office.
