1	M.(1)  Group capital calculation.  Except as provided in Paragraph (2) of this
2 Subsection, the ultimate controlling person of every insurer subject to registration
3 shall concurrently file, with the registration, an annual group capital calculation as
4 directed by the lead state commissioner.  The report shall be completed in
5 accordance with the NAIC group capital calculation instructions, which may permit
6 the lead state commissioner to allow a controlling person that is not the ultimate
7 controlling person to file the group capital calculation.  The report shall be filed with
8 the lead state commissioner of the insurance holding company system as determined
9 by the commissioner in accordance with the procedures within the Financial
10 Analysis Handbook adopted by the NAIC.
11	(2)  The following insurance holding company systems are exempt from
12 filing the group capital calculation:
13	(a)  An insurance holding company system that has only one insurer within
14 its holding company structure, that only writes business and is only authorized in its
15 domestic state, and assumes no business from any other insurer.
16	(b)  An insurance holding company system that is required to perform a
17 group capital calculation specified by the federal reserve.  The lead state
18 commissioner shall request the calculation from the federal reserve under the terms
19 of information sharing agreements in effect.  If the federal reserve cannot share the
20 calculation with the lead state commissioner, the insurance holding company system
21 is not exempt from the group capital calculation filing.
22	(c)  An insurance holding company system with a supervisor whose group-
23 wide supervisor is not based in the United States and is located within a reciprocal
24 jurisdiction as described in R.S. 22:651(F) that recognizes the U.S. state regulatory
25 approach to group supervision and group capital.
26	(d)  An insurance holding company system that meets all of the following
27 criteria:
28	(i)  It provides information to the lead state that meets the requirements for
29 accreditation under the NAIC financial standards and accreditation program, either

1 directly or indirectly through the group-wide supervisor, who has determined such
2 information is satisfactory to allow the lead state to comply with the NAIC group
3 supervision approach, as detailed in the NAIC Financial Analysis Handbook.
4	(ii)  The group-wide supervisor not based in the United States, that is not in
5 a reciprocal jurisdiction, recognizes and accepts, as specified by the commissioner
6 in regulation, the group capital calculation as the world-wide group capital
7 assessment for United States insurance groups who operate in that jurisdiction.
8	(3)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Subparagraphs (2)(c) and (d) of this
9 Subsection, a lead state commissioner shall require the group capital calculation for
10 United States operations of any insurance holding company system not based in the
11 United States if, after any necessary consultation with other supervisors or officials,
12 it is deemed appropriate by the lead state commissioner for prudential oversight and
13 solvency monitoring purposes or for ensuring the competitiveness of the insurance
14 marketplace.
15	(4)  Notwithstanding the exemptions from filing the group capital calculation
16 in Subparagraphs (2)(c) and (d) of this Subsection, the lead state commissioner has
17 the discretion to exempt the ultimate controlling person from filing the annual group
18 capital calculation or to accept a limited group capital filing or report in accordance
19 with the criteria as specified by the commissioner through rules and regulations.
20	(5)  If the commissioner determines that an insurance holding company
21 system no longer meets one or more of the requirements for an exemption from
22 filing the group capital calculation pursuant to this Section, the insurance holding
23 company system shall file the group capital calculation at the next annual filing date,
24 unless given an extension by the commissioner based on reasonable grounds shown.
25	N.(1)  Liquidity stress test.  The ultimate controlling person of every insurer
26 subject to registration and scoped into the NAIC liquidity stress test framework shall
27 file the results of its liquidity stress test.  The filing shall be made to the lead state
28 insurance commissioner of the insurance holding company system as determined by
29 the procedures within the Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by the NAIC.

1	(2)  The NAIC liquidity stress test framework includes scope criteria
2 applicable to a specific data year.  These scope criteria are reviewed at least annually
3 by the financial stability task force or its successor.  Any change to the NAIC
4 liquidity stress test framework or to the data year for which the scope criteria are to
5 be measured shall be effective on the first of January of the year following the
6 calendar year such changes are adopted.  Insurers meeting at least one threshold of
7 the scope criteria are considered scoped into the NAIC liquidity stress test
8 framework for the specified data year, unless the lead state insurance commissioner,
9 in consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or its successor,
10 determines the insurer should not be scoped into the framework for that data year. 
11 Similarly, insurers that do not meet at least one threshold of the scope criteria are
12 considered scoped out of the NAIC liquidity stress test framework for the specified
13 data year, unless the lead state insurance commissioner, in consultation with the
14 NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or its successor, determines the insurer should
15 be scoped into the framework for that data year.
16	(3)  The lead state commissioner, in consultation with the NAIC Financial
17 Stability Task Force or its successor, shall address concerns regarding regulators
18 wishing to avoid being scoped in and out of the NAIC liquidity stress test framework
19 on a frequent basis.
20	(4)  The performance of, and filing of the results from, a specific year's
21 liquidity stress test shall comply with the NAIC liquidity stress test framework
22 instructions and reporting templates for that year and any lead state insurance
23 commissioner determinations, in conjunction with the NAIC Financial Stability Task
24 Force or its successor, provided within the framework.
25	O.  Violations.  The failure to file a registration statement or any summary
26 of the registration statement or enterprise risk filing required by this Section within
27 the time specified for filing shall be a violation of this Section.
28	N. P.(1)  Incorporation by reference.  Any information contained in any
29 financial statement, annual report, proxy statement, statement filed with a

4 documents currently on file with the commissioner which were filed within three
5 years need not be attached as exhibits, but shall be referred to if not so attached.  All
6 references to information contained in exhibits or in documents duly filed shall
7 clearly identify the material and specifically indicate that the material is to be
8 incorporated by reference to the item.  No materials shall be incorporated by
9 reference in any instance that the incorporation would render the statement
10 incomplete, unclear, or confusing.
11	(2)  If a filing requires a summary or outline of the provisions of any
12 document, only a brief statement shall be made as to the pertinent provisions of the
13 document.  In addition to the brief statement, the summary or outline may
14 incorporate, by reference, particular parts of any exhibit or document currently on
15 file with the commissioner which was filed within three years and may be included
16 in its entirety by the reference.  In any case where If two or more documents required
17 to be filed as exhibits are substantially identical in all material respects except as to
18 the parties, the dates of execution, or other details, a copy of one of the documents
19 shall be filed with a schedule identifying the omitted documents and setting forth the
20 material details in which such documents differ from the documents filed.
