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.

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.

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 not subject to the standard fire policy statutes that apply to policies providing property coverage for loss caused by fire. (See the Sample SFP Terrorism Rules Supplement attachment to Bulletin 02-0550 at this Web site).
