Mission Statement
The Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance (FACI) provides advice and recommendations to assist FIO in carrying out its statutory authority.
The FIO was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The FIO's authority extends to all lines of insurance except health insurance, long-term care insurance (except that which is included with life or annuity insurance components), and crop insurance.
The FACI shall provide its advice and recommendations directly to the FIO. The FACI will conduct its work in coordination with the FIO.
