Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-297) authorize the Department of the Treasury 
to administer and implement the temporary Terrorism Risk Insurance 
Program established by the Act. Section 107 contains specific 
provisions designed to manage litigation arising out of or resulting 
from a certified act of terrorism. The Terrorism Risk Insurance 
Extension Act of 2005, (Pub. L. 109-144), added section 107(a)(6) to 
TRIA, which provides that procedures and requirements established by 
the Secretary under 31 CFR 50.82, as in effect on the date of issuance 
of that section in final form [July 28, 2004], shall apply to any 
Federal cause of action described in section 107(a)(1).
    Section 50.82 of the regulations requires insurers to submit to 
Treasury for advance approval certain proposed settlements involving an 
insured loss, any part of the payment of which the insurer intends to 
submit as part of its claim for Federal payment under the Program. The 
collection of information in the notice of proposed settlement in 
Section 50.83 that insurers must submit to implement the settlement 
approval process prescribed by Section 50.82.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit, Federal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Annual Time Per Respondent: 12.86 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,286 hours.
    Requests 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.
