1) Homeowners – The zip codes in the specifications file for excel columns W and X have been
corrected, to be consistent with the LAYOUT file.

The following are not new, but are being re-emphasized with this edition:
1)
For all rate guides, all information must be submitted in one file. There should be ONLY
one file. Clarifying language is made on Page 6, Item 4. Thus the premiums for each guide
should be on their own spreadsheet tab (page), and the contact information must be on another
spreadsheet tab (or page), within the same excel file.
2)
Links and Macros – Please remove all links and macros prior to
submission.
3)
If your company has had no rate or rating rule changes since the last rate guide that
would impact your premiums, please do the following:
a) Verify the contact information from your prior submission;
b) Put your information into the latest format supplied – do not use prior templates.
c) Verify the bycovbycomp tab
d) Make sure company spelling name is same as in the compname tab
