The Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“Program”) extended TRIA through December 31, 2014. The extension required an ongoing analysis of the long-term availability and affordability of insurance for terrorism risk from The President’s Working Group, which most recently submitted a 2010 report updating its 2006 analysis.
