COMMERCIAL UMBRELLA
WAR,  MILITARY ACTION, AND
TERRORISM EXCLUSIONS
STATUS REPORT
APRIL 15, 2003

This is the final report reflecting the status of the revised endorsement
attached to AAIS Bulletin 02-0075. See Bulletin 02-0270 for additional comments.

This status report provides approval information for the revised war, military action, and terrorism exclusions endorsement UM 0311 01 02, which has been filed for use with the AAIS Commercial Umbrella program. An advisory effective date shown below indicates that the filing has been approved or is otherwise available.

This report identifies any special requirements or filing forms that must be included in a company 's adoption of the AAIS filing. Most states have indicated that approval of terrorism exclusions will be granted only to the extent that the exclusions will 'sunset' or be withdrawn shortly after a federal mechanism is established to provide reinsurance for loss caused by acts of terrorism. This "conditional approval" applies to the AAIS's filing and will also apply to each company's adoption.

COMPANY ACTION

Except where noted, each company that is or that becomes affiliated for the Commercial Umbrella/Excess Liability Program and that wishes to adopt the latest war, military action, and terrorism exclusions filing on or after the advisory effective date shown below must do so by establishing an effective date and notifying the Insurance Department in writing. Where required, companies must also include a completed Expedited Filing - Commercial Lines Terrorist Exclusions Application (Exp Filing Application) in their adoption. When completing the application, companies should indicate that the endorsement provides coverage that is at least as broad as the ISO endorsement. While a model application was developed by the NAIC, many states have customized the application to meet their specific state requirements. Refer to the Special State Requirements/Comments column for details.

Contact Larris Larsen, Director of Compliance & State Filings at LarrisL@AAISonline.com or Sue Hiller, Manager, State Filings at SueH@AAISonline.com, if you have questions regarding the action needed to adopt this filing.

On the basis of Ins §1855.5, the Commissioner has determined that rating organization filings for terrorism exclusions will be disapproved as unfair or unreasonable.

However, individual insurers are not statutorily prohibited from filing such exclusions. Company filings must include the required rate and form filing applications and must recognize the rate impact of any change in coverage that results from the proposed exclusions. See Bulletin 02-0270 also.
