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.

Company action:

Endorsements

Companies that have granted AAIS filing authority for forms and endorsements can adopt the endorsements by notifying the insurance department in writing of their intent and including the necessary filing fees. Companies that choose not to adopt a filing must notify the insurance department as soon as possible and include the appropriate filing fees.

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.

However, companies that choose to depart from the AAIS filed rules must notify the insurance department in writing as soon as possible.

Companies that choose not to adopt the rules are not required to notify the insurance department.

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. The rules filed in this state indicate that the Commercial Inland Marine program (Filed Classes) is subject to the Standard Fire Policy statutes that apply to policies providing property coverage for loss caused by fire. Accordingly, the sample SFP Terrorism Loss Rules Supplement shown with Bulletin 02-0550 at this web site is not entirely consistent with the Supplement filed in this state.
