IN FORCE BUSINESS - Use the endorsements shown below to indicate that coverage is provided for certified terrorism loss.

Company Action:
Endorsements (All programs listed except Inland Marine Guide and Commercial Output - XL)
Affiliated companies can adopt the endorsements by establishing an effective date and submitting the necessary reference filing(s) to the Texas Department of Insurance.
 
In addition, due to special Texas guidelines, the AAIS Farmowners and Farm Umbrella endorsements were placed on file for use with commercial farm risks only (i.e., filed as commercial multi-peril and used when form GL-610 or UM 0610 is attached). Companies will need to file separate adoptions if they also wish to use the endorsements when writing personal farm risks (with form GL-2 or UM 0002).
 
Endorsements (Commercial Output-XL)
Affiliated companies can adopt the endorsements without notifying the Texas Department of Insurance. Forms and endorsements used with policies for "large risks" are not subject to filing requirements, in accordance with Article 5, 13-2; Section 8(f) of the Insurance Code.
Endorsements (Guide Classes - Electronic Data Processing and Fine Arts Floater Only )
Affiliated companies can adopt the endorsements by establishing an effective date and submitting the necessary reference filing(s) to the Texas Department of Insurance.
Endorsements (All Guide Classes Other Than Electronic Data Processing and Fine Arts Floater)
There is no requirement to file the "non-regulated classes", as defined by the Texas Department of Insurance, when writing coverage for these classes on a monoline basis. Companies affiliated for AAIS's Inland Marine Guide (non-filed classes) can adopt the endorsements for use with monoline policies, effective immediately, without notifying the Insurance Department or taking any additional filing action.
 
Endorsements for non-regulated Inland Marine Guide classes written as part of a package policy must be filed with, and approved by, the Texas Department of Insurance. Refer to Texas statute §5.9101.(f) for additional information regarding filing requirements.
 
 
Rating Information and Rules (All programs listed except Inland Marine Guide and Umbrellas)
Affiliated companies can adopt the rating information and/or rules by establishing an effective date and submitting the necessary reference filing(s) to the Texas Department of Insurance. However, the following guidelines must also be followed for rating information filings:
 
1. Companies must attest that no rate changes have been taken since 9/11/2001 to account for terrorism or an increased exposure to terrorism.
 
2. Companies must attest that increased costs for reinsurance as a result of terrorism or an increased exposure to terrorism have not been passed on to their policyholders through increased rates, deviations, loss costs, or loss cost multipliers.
 
3. If a company has implemented any rate change(s) since 9/11/2001, they must provide the date(s) and amount(s) of their rate change(s) along with their attestations from the above items.
 
4. Companies filing surcharges may be required to submit actuarial support for the surcharges.

Regarding "non-certified" commercial losses
Non-certified terrorism losses are all commercial losses from acts of terrorism that are not certified as such by the Secretary of the Treasury, and thus not covered by the federal reinsurance program. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, acts inspired, directed, and/or carried out by domestic U.S. groups or individuals.
