Background TRIA 1 requires participating insurers to make insurance available for losses resulting from acts of terrorism and provides a federal government backstop for the insurers’ resulting financial exposure. TRIA established TRIP within Treasury, and TRIP is administered by the Secretary with the assistance of FIO. TRIA Section 104(h)(2) requires the Secretary to periodically prepare and submit a report to the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate on, among other things, the impact and effectiveness of TRIP (Effectiveness Report). TRIA was reauthorized in December 2019 with an additional requirement that Treasury’s Effectiveness Reports analyze the availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance, including specifically for houses of worship. The Effectiveness Report to be submitted by June 30, 2024 will include an analysis of information that is being collected by Treasury through the 2024 TRIP Data Call,2 as well as data that Treasury collected in prior TRIP data calls. Treasury’s data calls are conducted to obtain information to facilitate Treasury’s analysis of the effectiveness of TRIP and the competitiveness of small insurers in the terrorism risk 1 Public Law 107–297, 116 Stat. 2322, codified at 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 A notice announcing the commencement of the 2024 TRIP Data Call also appears in this issue of the Federal Register.

Solicitation for Comments 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 a meaningful opportunity for stakeholder engagement. In addition, and more generally, such public input may assist the Secretary in the administration of TRIP. Statutory Factors Treasury seeks comments on each of the following factors, which Treasury is required under TRIA Section 104(h)(2) to consider in the Effectiveness Report: 1. The overall effectiveness of TRIP; 2. The availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance, including specifically for places of worship; 3. Any changes or trends relating to the data Treasury collects in its annual TRIP data calls, and the implications of such observations with regard to the effectiveness of TRIP; 4. Whether any aspects of TRIP have the effect of discouraging or impeding insurers from providing one or more lines of commercial property and casualty insurance coverage or coverage for acts of terrorism; and 5. Any impact of TRIP on workers’ compensation insurers in particular. 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, other than those factors specified in TRIA, could have an impact on the effectiveness of the Program, as well as FIO’s administration of TRIP. Treasury accordingly also seeks comments on the following topics: Additional Topics 1. Whether the lines of insurance currently subject to the Program properly identify those areas where TRIP is necessary to ensure the availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance, or whether certain lines of insurance should either be deleted or added; 2. The availability of terrorism risk insurance coverage for losses arising from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological (NBCR) exposures, and the 3 TRIA E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM sec. 108(h). 19MRN1
