SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Terrorism Risk Insurance Program-Conflict of Interest 
Rebuttal Procedures of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act.
    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) and the Terrorism Risk 
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Pub.L. 110-160) 
authorize the Department of the Treasury to administer and implement 
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program established by the Act. Section 
102 (2) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 defines an 
``affiliate'' with respect to an insurer as ``* * * any entity that 
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the 
insurer''. Section 102 (3) of the Act defines ``Control''. Section 
102(6) defines ``insurer'' to include `` * * * any affiliate thereof''. 
Taken together these definitions comprise one element in calculating 
costs and payments to the insurer under the Program. As such, there 
could be questions as to whether an affiliate relation exists between 
specific insurers. The referenced Regulation sets forth information 
which, if provided by an insurer on its initiative, could rebut 
presumptions that, if not refuted, would lead to a determination that 
an affiliate relationship exists. This clearance action is for the data 
submission specified in 31 CFR 50.8.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved data collection.
    Affected Public: Business/Financial Institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10
    Estimated Average Time per Respondent: 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 400 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 
collections; (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.
