DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice.
SUBJECT CATEGORY:
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); Assistance to Private Sector Property Insurers
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
Each year FEMA is required by the Write-Your-Own (``WYO'') program Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement (``Arrangement'') to notify the private insurance companies (``Companies'') and make available to the Companies the terms for subscription or re subscription to the Arrangement. In keeping with that requirement, this notice provides the terms to the Companies to subscribe or resubscribe to the Arrangement.
SUMMARY:
Private sector property insurers assistance,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Under the Arrangement, approximately 90 private sector property insurers issue flood insurance policies and adjust flood insurance claims under their own names based on the Arrangement with the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) (44 CFR part 62, appendix A). The WYO insurers receive an expense allowance and remit the remaining premium to the Federal Government. The Federal Government pays WYO insurers for flood losses and pays loss adjustment expenses based on a fee schedule. Litigation costs, including court costs, attorney fees, judgments, and settlements, are paid by FIA based on submitted documentation. The Arrangement provides that under certain circumstances reimbursement for litigation costs will not be made. The complete Arrangement is published in 44 CFR part 62, appendix A.
Each year FEMA is required to publish in the Federal Register and make available to the Companies the terms for subscription or re subscription to the Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement. During the 20052006 Arrangement year FEMA published (70 FR 55915, Sept. 23, 2005) notice of the changes to the Arrangement. No changes have been made to the Arrangement since the publication of the previous notice. [[Page 54679]]

20062007 Arrangement year, together with related materials and
