BULLETIN 350
Statistical Reports Required of Insurers Using the
2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Table
The purpose of this Bulletin is to notify insurers of the Superintendent’s decision to waive the
mortality experience reporting requirements for year 2007 for all insurers using the 2001 CSO
Preferred Class Structure Table.
Article VII, § 4(C) of Rule 340, “Mortality Tables for Use in Determining Minimum Reserves
and Nonforfeiture Benefits,” requires every authorized insurer using the 2001 CSO Preferred
Class Structure Table to file annual statistical reports with the Superintendent, the NAIC, or with
a statistical agent acceptable to the Superintendent, showing mortality and such other
information as the Superintendent may deem necessary or expedient for the administration of the
rule.
Section 4(C) also gives the Superintendent the discretion to exempt any company from the
reporting requirement. For reporting year 2007, because preparations for a national reporting
mechanism are still in progress, the Superintendent exempts all companies using the 2001 CSO
Preferred Class Structure Table from filing the statistical reports required by Rule 340, Article
VII, § 4(C).
