Treasury’s Federal Insurance Office Requests Voluntary Data from Insurers
Regarding Participation in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
3/4/2016

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Federal Insurance Office (FIO) today published a notice in the Federal Register requesting that insurers
voluntarily submit certain insurance data and information regarding their participation in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP). Section 111 of the Terrorism
Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to require insurers to submit information about their participation in TRIP
and to submit a report to Congress addressing the overall effectiveness of TRIP. For this first collection of information under the law, FIO is requesting, and not
requiring, that insurers submit certain insurance data in order to assist with the development of the report.
“Since it was first established in 2003, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program has worked to ensure that American businesses have access to affordable terrorism
insurance, ultimately helping to promote economic growth and employment opportunities for American workers,” said Michael McRaith, Director of the FIO. “Input
from our many stakeholders has been critical to implementing TRIA in an efficient and effective manner that meets the statutory objectives and this Federal Register
notice will further that objective.”
FIO, which was established within Treasury by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, monitors all aspects of the insurance sector, and
assists the Secretary in administering TRIP.
