SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00128 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56123 I. Background The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (TRIA or the Act),1 established the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP or Program).2 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,’’ as defined by TRIA. In order for the Program to make payments following a certified ‘‘act of terrorism,’’ the losses from an event must exceed certain thresholds and be in excess of participating insurer deductibles. Only ‘‘acts of terrorism’’ that have been certified as such by the Secretary (in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security) are subject to the compensation provisions of the Program. In the event Treasury does make payments under the Program, it may be required, through surcharges imposed upon all commercial policyholders, to recoup some or all of any amounts expended. Since the inception of the Program in 2002, Treasury has sought and obtained from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approvals for information collections that will be necessary if Treasury needs to process claims for the Federal share of compensation, and potentially recoup amounts expended as required under TRIA.3 Most of these information collections are managed through forms that have been developed by Treasury to permit participating insurers to demonstrate that they are entitled to payments for the Federal share of compensation. In some cases (as explained further in this Notice), the information collection is not subject to a specific form but is based upon circumstances that may develop in the future, in the event the Program is triggered, or might be triggered, by the Secretary’s certification of an act of terrorism. In December 2019, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 extended the Program until December 31, 2027.4 Therefore, to administer the Program, Treasury needs to continue the existing information collections to permit the receipt and 1 15 U.S.C. 6701 note. Because the provisions of TRIA (as amended) appear in a note, instead of particular sections, of the United States Code, the provisions of TRIA are identified by the sections of the law. 2 See 31 CFR part 50. 3 Annual collections of information and data, outside of the claims process, that are required under TRIA are addressed in a separate notice and comment process, under OMB Control No. 1505– 0257. 4 Public Law 116–94, 133 Stat 2534.
