    Mr. Arcuri, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 862]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 862, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 4299, 
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 
2007, under a closed rule. The rule provides one hour of debate 
in the House equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial Services. 
The rule waives all points of order against consideration of 
the bill except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 
The rule waives all points of order against provisions of the 
bill. This waiver does not affect the point of order available 
under clause 9 of rule XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). The 
rule provides that the bill shall be considered as read. The 
rule provides one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Finally, the rule provides that during consideration of 
H.R. 4299, the Chair may postpone further consideration to a 
time designated by the Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against H.R. 
4299 and its consideration (except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any points of 
order against the bill or its consideration. The waiver of all 
points of order against the bill and its consideration (except 
those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI) is prophylactic 
in nature.
