FACI is a committee composed of various state government officials, insurance professionals and consumer advocates that advises the U.S. Treasury's Federal Insurance Office (FIO). The FIO monitors the U.S. insurance sector and the extent to which traditionally underserved communities and consumers have access to affordable non-health insurance products. It also helps administer the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program and advises the Treasury Secretary on national and international insurance matters.
