*Title:*                     Terrorism Risk Insurance Program—Recordkeeping Requirements for Insurers Compensated Under the Program.                 

*Abstract:*                     Sections 103(a) and 104 of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-297) (as extended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, Pub. L. 109-144) authorize the Department of the Treasury to administer and implement the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program established by the Act. In 31 CFR part 50, subpart F (Sec. 50.50-50.55) Treasury established requirements and procedures for insurers that file claims for payment of the Federal share of compensation for insured losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism under the Act. Section 50.60 allows Treasury access to records of an insurer pertinent to amounts paid as the Federal share of compensation for insured losses in order to conduct investigations, confirmations and audits. Section 50.61 requires insurers to retain all records as are necessary to fully disclose all                           ( print page 11087)                        material matters pertaining to insured losses. The collection of information addressed in this notice is the recordkeeping requirement in § 50.61.                 

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of currently approved collection.                 

*Affected Public:*                     Business or other for-profit, Federal Government.                 

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     100.                 

*Estimated Time per Respondent:*                     8.3 hours.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     833 hours.                 

*Request for Comments:*                     An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB control number. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance and purchase of services to provide information.
