To assist the Secretary in formulating the report, the Federal Insurance Office (FIO) within the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is seeking comments from the insurance sector and other stakeholders on the statutory factors to be analyzed in the report, as well as any other feedback on other issues relating to the effectiveness of TRIP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. 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 that is to be submitted by June 30, 2026 will include an analysis of information that is being collected by Treasury through the 2026 TRIP Data Call, [2 ] as well as data that Treasury collected in prior TRIP data calls. Treasury's data calls are conducted pursuant to TRIA Section 104(h) and obtain information to facilitate Treasury's analysis of the effectiveness of TRIP and the competitiveness of small insurers in the terrorism risk insurance marketplace, [3 ] as well as to assist Treasury more generally in the administration of TRIP.
II. Solicitation for Comments
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:
The overall effectiveness of TRIP;
The availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance, including specifically for places of worship;
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;
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
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 ( printed page 14633) 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:
General Topics
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 should either be deleted or added;
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;
Changes in the property, casualty, and reinsurance markets since the 2024 Program Effectiveness Report that may have affected the pricing, affordability, availability, and take up of terrorism insurance;
Any comments relating to the potential reauthorization of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program beyond the current expiration date of December 31, 2027, including the need for reauthorization or for any potential changes to the Program's requirements or provisions.
Cyber-Related Topics
Terrorism risk insurance issues presented by cyber-related losses, and the impact of TRIP in connection with such exposures, including your views on cyber-related terrorism losses that are included within TRIP and those losses outside of TRIP;
Any potential changes to TRIA or TRIP that would encourage the take up of insurance for cyber-related losses arising from acts of terrorism as defined under TRIA, including, but not limited to the potential modification of the lines of insurance covered by TRIP and revisions to any of the current sharing mechanisms for cyber-related losses, such as, for example, the individual insurer deductible or the federal share percentage.
The availability of reinsurance or capital markets support for cyber-related losses arising from acts of terrorism as defined under TRIA;
Other Topics
How captive insurers access TRIP, including the extent to which they provide coverage on a standalone versus embedded basis;
The extent to which captive insurers accessing TRIP are providing coverage for NBCR terrorism risk only;
The current status of terrorism risk modeling capabilities, and the use of those techniques in the placement of terrorism risk insurance;
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.
Rachel Miller,
Executive Secretary.
