Insurance Program (TRIP or the 

Program) under the Terrorism Risk 

Insurance Act, as amended (TRIA or the 

Act). As explained below, Treasury has 

determined that the IMARA for calendar 

year 2021 is $41,705,989,523. 

DATES: The IMARA for calendar year 

2021 is effective January 1, 2021 

through December 31, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

TRIA—which established TRIP—was 

signed into law on November 26, 2002, 

following the attacks of September 11, 

2001, to address disruptions in the 

market for terrorism risk insurance, to 

help ensure the continued availability 

and affordability of commercial 

property and casualty insurance for 

terrorism risk, and to allow the private 

markets to stabilize and build insurance 

capacity to absorb any future losses for 

terrorism events.1 TRIA requires 

insurers to ‘‘make available’’ terrorism 

risk insurance for commercial property 

and casualty losses resulting from 

certified acts of terrorism, and provides 

for shared public and private 

compensation for such insured losses. 

The Program has been reauthorized four 

times, most recently by the Terrorism 

Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization 

Act of 2019.2 The Secretary of the 

Treasury (Secretary) administers the 

Program, with assistance from the 

Federal Insurance Office (FIO).3

TRIA provides for an ‘‘industry 

marketplace aggregate retention 

amount’’ or ‘‘IMARA’’ to be used for 

determining whether Treasury must 

recoup any payments it makes under the

4See TRIA, sec. 103(e)(7); see also 31 CFR part 

50 subpart J (Recoupment and Surcharge 

Procedures). 

5 In 2015, the IMARA was $29.5 billion; it 

increased to $31.5 billion in 2016, $33.5 billion in 

2017, $35.5 billion in 2018, and $37.5 billion in 

2019. See TRIA, sec. 103(e)(6)(B). 

6TRIA, sec. 103(e)(6)(B)(ii) and (e)(6)(C). An 

insurer’s deductible under the Program for any 

particular year is 20 percent of its direct earned 

premium subject to the Program during the 

preceding year. TRIA, sec. 102(7). For example, an 

insurer’s calendar year 2020 Program deductible is 

20 percent of its calendar year 2019 direct earned 

premium. 

7 84 FR 62450 (November 15, 2019) (Final Rule). 

On December 18, 2019, Treasury issued a notice 

that the IMARA calculation for calendar year 2020 

was $40,878,630,900. 84 FR 69462 (December 18, 

2019).

9The figures from the 2019 and 2018 TRIP data 

calls (some figures may not add up on account of 

rounding) were previously reported in the IMARA 

calculation for calendar year 2020. See 84 FR 69462 

(December 18, 2019). Figures from the 2020 TRIP 

data call were previously reported in FIO’s June 

2020 Effectiveness Report, as available at that time 

and rounded. 2020 Effectiveness Report, 11 (Figure 

1). The figures from the 2020 TRIP data call as 

originally reported in June 2020 have been updated 

to include data received by FIO after the reporting 

deadline.

Program. Under the Act, if total annual 

payments by all participating insurers 

are below the IMARA, then Treasury 

must recoup all amounts expended by it 

up to the IMARA threshold. If total 

annual payments by all participating 

insurers are above the IMARA, then 

Treasury has discretionary authority 

(but not the obligation) to recoup all of 

the expended amounts that are above 

the IMARA threshold.4

TRIA provides for a schedule of 

defined IMARA values for calendar year 

2015 through calendar year 2019.5 For 

calendar year 2020 and beyond, TRIA 

states that the IMARA ‘‘shall be revised 

to be the amount equal to the annual 

average of the sum of insurer 

deductibles for all insurers participating 

in the Program for the prior 3 calendar 

years,’’ as such sum is determined 

pursuant to final rules issued by the 

Secretary.6

On November 15, 2019, Treasury 

issued a final rule for calculation of the 

IMARA.7 This rule, which is codified at 

31 CFR 50.4(m)(2), provides that the 

IMARA will be calculated by averaging 

the annual industry aggregate 

deductibles over the prior three 

calendar years, based upon the direct 

earned premium (DEP) reported to 

Treasury by insurers in Treasury’s 

annual data calls. Insurer deductibles 

under the Program are based upon the 

DEP of individual insurers reported to 

Treasury in the prior year (e.g., 2018 

DEP for 2019 calendar year). 

Accordingly, for purposes of 

determining the IMARA for calendar 

2021, Treasury has averaged the 

aggregate insurer deductibles for 

calendar years 2020, 2019, and 2018 (as 

reported to Treasury in each of these 

years), which are based on the reported 

DEP for calendar years 2019, 2018, and 

2017, respectively. 

FIO’s 2020 Report on the 

Effectiveness of the Terrorism Risk 

Insurance Program 8 identified the DEP 

amounts participating insurers reported 

to Treasury in the TRIP-eligible lines of 

insurance in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 

TRIP data calls. For purposes of the 

2021 IMARA calculation, those figures 

are as follows:

Source: 2018–2020 TRIP Data Calls. 

Treasury has used these reported 

premiums to calculate the IMARA for 

calendar year 2021. The average annual 

DEP figure for the combined period of 

2017, 2018, and 2019 is 

$208,529,947,613 [($204,243,550,936 + 

$205,260,038,430 + $216,086,253,473)/3 

= $208,529,947,613]. The average 

aggregate deductible for the prior three 

years is 20 percent of $208,529,947,613, 

which equals $41,705,989,523.10

Accordingly, the IMARA for purposes of 

calendar year 2021 is $41,705,989,523.
