RE:
Voluntary Expedited Filing Procedures For
Compliance With The Provisions Of The
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act Of 2002
FROM:
Kenneth G. Vines, Acting Insurance Commissioner
DATE:
December 16, 2002
Background
There has been much uncertainty in the markets for commercial lines property and casualty
insurance coverage in light of the substantial losses experienced by the industry on
September 11, 2001. Soon after the tragic events, many reinsurers announced that they did not
intend to provide coverage for acts of terrorism in future reinsurance contracts. This led to a
concerted effort on behalf of all interested parties to seek a temporary federal backstop to calm
market fears over future terrorist attacks and the ability of the insurance industry to allocate
capital to provide coverage for these unpredictable and potentially catastrophic events. Congress
recently enacted and the President has signed into law, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002
(The Act).
This federal law provides a federal backstop for defined acts of terrorism and
imposes certain obligations on insurers.
The intent of this memorandum is to advise you of certain provisions of the Act that may require
insurers to submit a filing in this state and to inform you regarding a voluntary procedure for
insurers to use to expedite the filing and timely review of the disclosure notices, policy language
and the applicable rates that are discussed in the Act.

insurers to use to expedite the filing and timely review of the disclosure notices, policy language
and the applicable rates that are discussed in the Act.

Section 102(6) of the Act defines âinsurersâ for purposes of the Act. âInsurerâ means any entity
and affiliate thereof--(A) that is--(i) licensed or admitted to engage in the business of providing
primary or excess (surplus lines) insurance in any State; (ii) an eligible surplus line carrier listed
on the Quarterly Listing of Alien Insurers of the NAIC, or any successor thereto; (iii) approved
for the purpose of offering property and casualty insurance by a Federal agency in connection
with maritime, energy, or aviation activity; (iv) a State residual market insurance entity or State
workers' compensation fund; (B) that receives direct earned premium for any type of commercial
property and casualty insurance coverage.
The Secretary of Treasury may extend the Act to
other classes or types of captive insurers and other self-insured arrangements by municipalities
and other entities as well as to group life insurance.
Section 102(12) of the Act states the term âproperty and casualty insuranceâ (A) means
commercial lines of property and casualty insurance, including excess insurance, workers'
compensation insurance, and surety insurance, and (B) does not include crop or livestock
insurance, private mortgage or title insurance, financial guaranty insurance issued by monoline
financial guaranty insurance corporations, medical malpractice, health or life insurance including
group life, flood insurance provided under the National Flood Insurance Act, or reinsurance or
retrocessional reinsurance
nsation insurance, and surety insurance, and (B) does not include crop or livestock
insurance, private mortgage or title insurance, financial guaranty insurance issued by monoline
financial guaranty insurance corporations, medical malpractice, health or life insurance including
group life, flood insurance provided under the National Flood Insurance Act, or reinsurance or
retrocessional reinsurance.
All insurers, as defined in the Act, are required by the Act to participate in the Terrorism
Insurance Program (the Program) and make available coverage for insured losses in all of their
covered commercial lines policies. The term âinsured lossâ means any loss resulting from an act
of terrorism (including an act of war, in the case of workersâ compensation) that is covered by
primary or excess property and casualty insurance issued by an insurer if such lossâ(i) occurs
within the United States; or (ii) occurs in an air carrier (as described in section 40102 of title 49,
United States Code), to a United States flag vessel (or a vessel based principally in the United
States, on which United States income tax is paid and whose insurance coverage is subject to
regulation in the United States), regardless of where the loss occurs, or at the premises of a
United States mission. The Act also advises that insured loss excludes amounts awarded in a
civil action that are attributable to punitive damages. The Act further requires insurers to make
available property and casualty insurance coverage for insured losses that do not differ
materially from the terms, amounts, and other coverage limitations applicable to losses arising
from events other than acts of terrorism.
The Act voids any terrorism exclusions in a contract for property and casualty insurance that is in
force on the date of enactment of this Act to the extent that it excludes losses that would
otherwise be insured losses
rage for insured losses that do not differ
materially from the terms, amounts, and other coverage limitations applicable to losses arising
from events other than acts of terrorism.
The Act voids any terrorism exclusions in a contract for property and casualty insurance that is in
force on the date of enactment of this Act to the extent that it excludes losses that would
otherwise be insured losses. The Act also voids any state approval of any terrorism exclusion
from a contract for property or casualty insurance that is in force on the date of enactment of this
Act to the extent that it excludes losses that would otherwise be insured losses. The Act allows
insurers to âreinstate a preexisting provision in a contract for commercial property and casualty
insurance that is in force on the date of enactment of this Act and that excludes coverage for acts
of terrorism onlyâ if one of two conditions are met. The insurer must have received a written
statement from the insured that affirmatively authorizes such reinstatement or if the insurer has
provided notice to the insured, at least 30 days before any such reinstatement and the insured
fails to pay any increased premium charged by the insurer for providing such terrorism coverage.
Definition of Insured Loss
3
Section 102(5) of the Act provides a definition of insured loss. It states, âthe term âinsured lossâ
means any loss resulting from an act of terrorism (including an act of war, in the case of
workersâ compensation) that is covered by primary or excess property and casualty insurance
issued by an insurer if such lossâ(A) occurs within the United States; or (B) occurs to an air
carrier (as defined in section 40102 of title 49, United States Code), to a United States flag vessel
(or a vessel based principally in the United States, on which United States income tax is paid and
whose insurance coverage is subject to regulation in the United States), regardless of where the
loss occurs, or at the premises of any United States mission.â
As a result of the definition c
an air
carrier (as defined in section 40102 of title 49, United States Code), to a United States flag vessel
(or a vessel based principally in the United States, on which United States income tax is paid and
whose insurance coverage is subject to regulation in the United States), regardless of where the
loss occurs, or at the premises of any United States mission.â
As a result of the definition contained in the Act, there are essentially two distinct types of losses
that a business might face that result from terrorism. One type of loss is the insured loss that is
defined within and covered by the provisions of the Act. For convenience, we will adopt the
moniker of âcertified lossâ to refer to losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism.
The
second type of loss that a business might face is one that does not fit within the definition of
insured loss as described in the Act.
For convenience, we will adopt the moniker of
ânoncertified lossâ to refer to losses resulting from terrorism that is not certified.
The most
significant difference between these losses is that the certified losses will always involve a
foreign person or foreign interest, while the noncertified losses may not.
Please note that the preemption of this stateâs filing law, Wyoming Statute § 26-15-110, applies
only to contract language that is applicable to certified losses. If an insurer intends to reinstate
an exclusion on in-force policies as allowed under the Act, it may only reinstate an exclusion that
previously existed on the policy.
This state has allowed, and will continue to allow, some significant limitations that provide
coverage for acts of terrorism under certain circumstances

only to contract language that is applicable to certified losses. If an insurer intends to reinstate
an exclusion on in-force policies as allowed under the Act, it may only reinstate an exclusion that

This state has allowed, and will continue to allow, some significant limitations that provide
coverage for acts of terrorism under certain circumstances.
For policies providing property
insurance coverage the following limitations apply to noncertified losses:
ï·
Exclusion for acts of terrorism only apply if the acts of terrorism result in industry-wide
insured losses that exceed $25,000,000 for related incidents that occur within a 72 hour
period;
ï·
Exclusions for acts of terrorism are not subject to limitations above if:
o
The act involves the use, release or escape of nuclear materials, or that directly or
indirectly results in nuclear reaction or radiation or radioactive contamination;
o
The act is carried out by means of the dispersal or application of pathogenic or
poisonous biological or chemical materials; or
o
Pathogenic or poisonous biological or chemical materials are released, and it
appears that one purpose of the terrorism was to release such materials.
For policies providing liability insurance coverage the following limitations apply to noncertified
losses:
ï·
Exclusion for acts of terrorism only apply if the acts of terrorism result in industry-wide
insured losses that exceed $25,000,000 for related incidents that occur within a 72 hour
period; or
ï·
Fifty or more persons sustain death or serious physical injury for related incidents that
occur within a 72 hour period.
For purposes of this provision serious physical injury
means:

occur within a 72 hour period.
For purposes of this provision serious physical injury
means:
4
o
Physical injury that involves a substantial risk of death;
o
Protracted and obvious physical disfigurement; or
o
Protracted loss of or impairment of the function of a bodily member or organ.
ï·
Exclusions for acts of terrorism are not subject to limitations above if;
o
The act involves the use, release or escape of nuclear materials, or that directly or
indirectly results in nuclear reaction or radiation or radioactive contamination;
o
The act is carried out by means of the dispersal or application of pathogenic or
poisonous biological or chemical materials; or
o
Pathogenic or poisonous biological or chemical materials are released, and it
appears that one purpose of the terrorism was to release such materials.
Definition of Act of Terrorism
Section 102(1) defines an act of terrorism for purposes of the Act. Section 102(1)(A) states,
âThe term âact of terrorismâ means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United Statesâ(i) to be
an act of terrorism; (ii) to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous toâ(I) human life: (II)
property; or (III) infrastructure; (iii) to have resulted in damage within the United States, or
outside the United States in the case ofâ(I) an air carrier or vessel described in paragraph
he Treasury, in
concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United Statesâ(i) to be
an act of terrorism; (ii) to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous toâ(I) human life: (II)
property; or (III) infrastructure; (iii) to have resulted in damage within the United States, or
outside the United States in the case ofâ(I) an air carrier or vessel described in paragraph
(5)(B); or (II) the premises of a United States mission; and (iv) to have been committed by an
individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part of an
effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the
conduct of the United States Government by coercion.â Section 102(1)(B) states, âNo act shall
be certified by the Secretary as an act of terrorism ifâ(i) the act is committed as part of the
course of a war declared by the Congress, except that this clause shall not apply with respect to
any coverage for workersâ compensation; or (ii) property and casualty insurance losses resulting
from the act, in the aggregate, do not exceed $5,000,000.â Section 102(1)(C) and (D) specify
that the determinations are final and not subject to judicial review and that the Secretary of the
Treasury cannot delegate the determination to anyone.
This state will not allow exclusions of coverage for acts of terrorism that fail to be certified
losses solely because they fall below the $5,000,000 threshold in Section 102(1)(B) on any
policy that provides coverage for certified losses.
Insurers required to file policy forms may
submit language containing coverage limitations for certified losses that exceed $100 billion.
The Act includes a definition of acts of terrorism that is used within this memorandum to mean
certified losses.
Policies subject to policy form filing requirements should also define what
constitutes an act of terrorism for noncertified losses
certified losses.
Insurers required to file policy forms may
submit language containing coverage limitations for certified losses that exceed $100 billion.
The Act includes a definition of acts of terrorism that is used within this memorandum to mean
certified losses.
Policies subject to policy form filing requirements should also define what
constitutes an act of terrorism for noncertified losses. For non-certified losses, this state would
accept the following definition, or one that is more liberal to policyholders:
The phrase ânoncertified act of terrorismâ means a violent act or an act that is dangerous
to human life, property; or infrastructure that is committed by an individual or individuals
and that appears to be part of an effort to coerce a civilian population or to influence the
policy or affect the conduct of any government by coercion, and the act is not certified as
a terrorist act pursuant to the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
Submission of Rates, Policy Form Language and Disclosure Notices
5
Insurers are required to comply with the Act and with state law. Section 106(a)(2)(B) of the Act
states that âduring the period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act and ending on
December 31, 2003, rates and forms for terrorism risk insurance coverage covered by this title
and filed with any State shall not be subject to prior approval or a waiting period under any law
of a State that would otherwise be applicable . . ..â The subsection further notes that rates remain
subject to subsequent regulatory review based on whether a rate is âexcessive, inadequate, or
unfairly discriminatoryâ and other applicable state law. Similarly, policy forms are subject to
subsequent review based on all applicable laws and regulations. Thus, a system is created where
insurers can immediately implement prospective rate changes for coverage of insured losses
related to acts of terrorism as defined in the Act
atory review based on whether a rate is âexcessive, inadequate, or
unfairly discriminatoryâ and other applicable state law. Similarly, policy forms are subject to
subsequent review based on all applicable laws and regulations. Thus, a system is created where
insurers can immediately implement prospective rate changes for coverage of insured losses
related to acts of terrorism as defined in the Act. Policy language for terrorism risk and insurance
covered by the Act (granting coverage or excluding coverage for insured losses) is only exempt
from prior approval or waiting periods to the extent that the policy language relates to insured
losses as defined in the Act. Other policy language changes and related pricing remain subject to
current applicable state law and will be processed in an expedited manner.
If an insurer relies on an advisory organization to file loss costs and related rating systems on its
behalf, no rate filing is required unless an insurer plans to use a different loss cost multiplier than
is currently on file for coverage for certified losses. The rate filing should provide sufficient
information for the reviewer to determine what price would be charged to a business seeking to
cover certified losses.
This state will accept filings that contain a specified percentage of
premium to provide for coverage for certified losses. Insurers may also choose to use rating
plans that take into account other factors such as geography, building profile, proximity to target
risks and other reasonable rating factors. The insurer should state in the filing the basis that it
has for selection of the rates and rating systems that it chooses to apply. The supporting
documentation should be sufficient for the reviewer to determine if the rates are excessive,
inadequate or unfairly discriminatory.
Insurers subject to policy form regulation must submit the policy language that they intend to use
in this state within a reasonable time after they are implemented
asis that it
has for selection of the rates and rating systems that it chooses to apply. The supporting
documentation should be sufficient for the reviewer to determine if the rates are excessive,
inadequate or unfairly discriminatory.
Insurers subject to policy form regulation must submit the policy language that they intend to use
in this state within a reasonable time after they are implemented. This state considers 30 days to
be a reasonable time for purposes of completing an expedited filing of policy language. The
policy should define acts of terrorism and both certified and noncertified losses in ways that are
consistent with the Act, state law and the guidance provided in this memorandum.
The
definitions, terms and conditions should be complete and accurately describe the coverage that
will be provided in the policy.
The commissioner requests that the disclosure notices be filed for informational purposes, along
with the policy forms, rates and rating systems as they are an integral part of the process for
notification of policyholders in this state and should be clear and not misleading to business
owners in this state. The disclosures should comply with the requirements of the Act and should
be consistent with the policy language and rates filed by the insurer. Details about the applicable
requirements are contained in the following two paragraphs.
In-force business receives special consideration under the Act. Section 105 (a) voids any
terrorism exclusion on existing policies to the extent that it excludes losses that would otherwise
be insured losses as defined in the Act. It details a process for insurers and policyholders to
reinstate the voided exclusions.
Under that process, an insurer may reinstate a preexisting
provision in a contract that is in force on the date of enactment of this Act and that excludes
coverage for an act of terrorism only if the insurer has received a written statement from the
that would otherwise
be insured losses as defined in the Act. It details a process for insurers and policyholders to
reinstate the voided exclusions.
Under that process, an insurer may reinstate a preexisting
provision in a contract that is in force on the date of enactment of this Act and that excludes
coverage for an act of terrorism only if the insurer has received a written statement from the
6
insured that affirmatively authorizes such reinstatement or if the insured fails to pay any
increased premium charged by the insurer for providing such coverage and the insurer provided
notice, at least 30 days before any such reinstatement as provided in Section 105 of the Act.
There are also disclosures required for new business and renewal business. Although voidance
of contract language is not an issue, insurers must make certain disclosures to policyholders to
remain in compliance with the Act. Section 103(b)(2) requires insurers to provide a clear and
conspicuous disclosure to the policyholder of the premium charged for covered insured losses
and advise that a federal program exists where the federal government will share significant
portions of major insured losses with insurers.
Effect on Workersâ Compensation Insurance Coverage
Treatment of workersâ compensation is slightly different than for other property and casualty
insurance coverages. First, Section 102(1)(B)(i) provides that the federal program will share the
risk of loss for workersâ compensation for acts of war in addition to acts of terrorism.
This
treatment occurs because of the statutory nature of the workersâ compensation program, which
does not provide an exclusion for losses resulting from an act of war. Under Wyoming law there
is no exclusion for workersâ compensation losses resulting from an act of war.
There is no
provision in the Act that would preempt the compulsory coverage aspects of workersâ
compensation insurance policies
This
treatment occurs because of the statutory nature of the workersâ compensation program, which
does not provide an exclusion for losses resulting from an act of war. Under Wyoming law there
is no exclusion for workersâ compensation losses resulting from an act of war.
There is no
provision in the Act that would preempt the compulsory coverage aspects of workersâ
compensation insurance policies. In other respects, however, workersâ compensation coverage is
treated under the Act as any other covered line of insurance. Therefore, the notice requirements
of Section 103(b)(2) and the mandatory âmake availableâ requirements of Section 103(c) apply
to workersâ compensation policies.
In this connection, workersâ compensation insurers are
required to separately state (the amount of) the estimated portion of the premium being charged a
policyholder for acts of terrorism, as defined in the Act. As this stateâs workersâ compensation
law does not have any exclusions for terrorism or war, neither insurers nor policyholders may
use the Actâs procedures to create such an exclusion. With regard to the filing and approval of
rates and forms, workersâ compensation insurers are also covered by the Act, specifically Section
106(a)(2)(B) that waives any state prior approval or time requirements for the first year of the
Act.
Such insurers shall therefore follow the alternative filing procedures established in this
memorandum.
Information for SERFF Filers

your use.
Explanation and Instructions for Terrorism Rate and Form Review
The Act preempts any state prior approval law pertaining to rates or formsâincluding any law
that imposes waiting periodsâprior to use of a rate or form for purposes of terrorism coverage,
as defined by the Act. This preemption remains in effect for the first year of the Act
