Status report on compliance with the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002
and related state regulatory policies

Regarding "certified" commercial losses
For an act of terrorism to be certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (and thus trigger coverage under the federal Terrorism Reinsurance Program), it must cause more than $5 million in losses and be inspired, directed, and/or carried out on behalf of a foreign person or interest.

IN FORCE BUSINESS  - Use the endorsements and rating information shown below only when the insured accepts the offer of coverage for certified terrorism loss.

NEW AND RENEWAL BUSINESS

With respect to the original AAIS War, Military Action, and Terrorism Exclusions (CL 0468, AP 0686, BP 0674, GL 0985, GS 0194,  FL 0450,  FO 0450, and GL 0990), which were distributed as attachments to Bulletins 02-0158 and 02-0224:

On December 10, 2002, the Alaska Division of Insurance issued Bulletin B 02-20 detailing requirements for compliance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. Contrary to guidance provided by most other states and the NAIC, this state will no longer allow the use of any previously approved War and Terrorism exclusions. Companies should immediately discontinue using these exclusions on all new and renewal policies.

In discussing these exclusions, the bulletin states:

By order R 02-08, the Director of the Alaska Division of Insurance is withdrawing approval of existing terrorism exclusions containing these limitations. Therefore, an insurer may not apply these exclusions for non-certified losses to new and renewal business. Exclusions for non-certified losses will be re-evaluated. Exclusions for non-certified losses must be filed with and approved by the division before they may be used.

Regarding "non-certified" commercial losses
Non-certified terrorism losses are all commercial losses from acts of terrorism that are not certified as such by the Secretary of the Treasury, and thus not covered by the federal reinsurance program. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, acts inspired, directed, and/or carried out by domestic U.S. groups or individuals.

Endorsements

Companies that have granted AAIS filing authority for forms and endorsements can adopt the endorsements without notifying the insurance department.

Rules Supplement

Companies that have granted AAIS filing authority for rules can adopt the manual supplement without notifying the insurance department if they intend to use it without change.

Comments:

Manual rules that address the use of the various terrorism endorsements were filed in conjunction with the endorsements that exclude loss caused by non-certified acts of terrorism. (See the Sample NSFP Terrorism Rules Supplement attachment to Bulletin 02-0550 at this Web site).
