A “covered agreement” is an international agreement that relates to the recognition of prudential measures with respect to the business of insurance or reinsurance that achieves a level of protection for insurance or reinsurance consumers that is substantially equivalent to the level of protection achieved under state insurance or reinsurance regulation. Title V of the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Secretary of the Treasury to jointly negotiate a covered agreement on behalf of the United States with one or more foreign governments, authorities, or regulatory entities.
