RBC instructions;
(2) The notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an Adjusted RBC Report that

(b) In the event of a Company Action Level Event, the insurer shall prepare and submit
to the commissioner an RBC Plan which shall:
(1) Identify the conditions that contribute to the Company Action Level Event;
(2) Contain proposals of corrective actions that the insurer intends to take and would
be expected to result in the elimination of the Company Action Level Event;
(3) Provide projections of the insurer's financial results in the current year and at
least the four (4) succeeding years, both in the absence of proposed corrective actions
and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions, including projections of statutory
operating income, net income, capital and/or surplus. (The projections for both new
and renewal business might include separate projections for each major line of business
and separately identify each significant income, expense and benefit component);
(4) Identify the key assumptions impacting the insurer's projections and the sensitivity
of the projections to the assumptions; and
(5) Identify the quality of, and problems associated with, the insurer's business, including
but not limited to its assets, anticipated business growth and associated surplus

any, in each case.
(c) The RBC Plan shall be submitted within forty-five (45) days of the Company Action
Level Event; or if the insurer challenges an Adjusted RBC Report pursuant to section
38a-72-7 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, within forty-five (45)
days after notification to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing,
rejected the insurer's challenge.
(d) Within sixty (60) days after the submission by an insurer of an RBC Plan to the commissioner,
the commissioner shall notify the insurer whether the RBC plan shall be implemented
or is, in the judgment of the commissioner, unsatisfactory. If the commissioner determines
that the RBC Plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the insurer shall set forth
the reasons for the determination, and may set forth proposed revisions that will
render the RBC Plan satisfactory, in the judgment of the commissioner. Upon notification
from the commissioner, the insurer shall prepare a Revised RBC Plan, which may incorporate
by reference any revisions proposed by the commissioner, and shall submit the Revised
RBC Plan to the commissioner within forty-five (45) days after the notification from
the commissioner; or if the insurer challenges an Adjusted RBC Report pursuant to
section 38a-72-7 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, within forty-five
(45) days after notification to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing,
rejected the insurer's challenge.
(e) In the event of a notification by the commissioner to an insurer that the insurer's
RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan is unsatisfactory, the commissioner may at the commissioner's
discretion, subject to the insurer's right to a hearing under section 38a-72-7 of
the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, specify in the notification that the
notification constitutes a Regulatory Action Level Event.
(f) Every domestic insurer that files an RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the commissioner
shall file a copy of the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the insurance commissioner
in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if:
(1) Such state has an RBC provision substantially similar to section 38a-72-8(a) of the
Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; and
(2) The insurance commissioner of that state has notified the insurer of its request for
the filing in writing, in which case the insurer shall file a copy of the RBC Plan
or Revised RBC Plan in that state no later than the later of:
(A) Fifteen (15) days after the receipt of notice to file a copy of its RBC Plan or Revised
Plan with the state; or
(B) The date on which the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan is filed under subsections (c)
