by the procedures within the Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by

with the lead state Commissioner, the insurance

holding company system is not exempt from the group

capital calculation filing,

the NAIC financial standards and accreditation

program, either directly or indirectly through

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance Page 469

the group-wide supervisor, who has determined

such information is satisfactory to allow the

lead state to comply with the NAIC group

supervision approach, as detailed in the NAIC

Financial Analysis Handbook, and
requirements for accreditation under

the NAIC financial standards and accreditation

program, either directly or indirectly through

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance Page 469

the group-wide supervisor, who has determined

such information is satisfactory to allow the

lead state to comply with the NAIC group

supervision approach, as detailed in the NAIC

Financial Analysis Handbook, and

(2) whose non-United States group-wide supervisor

that is not in a reciprocal jurisdiction

recognizes and accepts, as specified by the

commissioner in regulation, the group capital

calculation as the world-wide group capital

assessment for United States insurance groups who

operate in that jurisdiction,

e. notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs c and

d of paragraph 2 of subsection L of this section, a

lead state Commissioner shall require the group

capital calculation for U.S. operations of any non-

where, after any necessary consultation with other

supervisors or officials, it is deemed appropriate by

the lead state Commissioner for prudential oversight

and solvency monitoring purposes or for ensuring the

competitiveness of the insurance marketplace,

f. notwithstanding the exemptions from filing the group

capital calculation stated in subparagraphs a through

d of paragraph 2 of subsection L of this section, the

lead state Commissioner has the discretion to exempt

the ultimate controlling person from filing the annual

group capital calculation or to accept a limited group

capital filing or report in accordance with criteria

as specified by the commissioner in regulation, and

g. if the lead state Commissioner determines that an

insurance holding company system no longer meets one

or more of the requirements for an exemption from

filing the group capital calculation under this

section, the insurance holding company system shall

file the group capital calculation at the next annual

filing date unless given an extension by the lead

state Commissioner based on reasonable grounds shown;

3. The ultimate controlling person of every insurer subject to

registration and also scoped into the NAIC Liquidity Stress Test

Framework shall file the results of a specific year's Liquidity

Stress Test. The filing shall be made to the lead state insurance

commissioner of the insurance holding company system as determined

by the procedures within the Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by

the NAIC:

a. the NAIC Liquidity Stress Test Framework includes

Scope Criteria applicable to a specific data year.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance Page 470

These Scope Criteria are reviewed at least annually by

the Financial Stability Task Force or its successor.

Any change to the NAIC Liquidity Stress Test Framework

or to the data year for which the Scope Criteria are

to be measured shall be effective on January 1 of the

year following the calendar year when such changes are

adopted. Insurers meeting at least one threshold of

the Scope Criteria are considered scoped into the NAIC

Liquidity Stress Test Framework for the specified data

year unless the lead state insurance commissioner, in

consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task

Force or its successor, determines the insurer should

not be scoped into the Framework for that data year.

Similarly, insurers that do not trigger at least one

threshold of the Scope Criteria are considered scoped

out of the NAIC Liquidity Stress Test Framework for

the specified data year, unless the lead state

insurance commissioner, in consultation with the NAIC

Financial Stability Task Force or its successor,

determines the insurer should be scoped into the

Framework for that data year. Regulators wish to

avoid having insurers scoped in and out of the NAIC

Liquidity Stress Test Framework on a frequent basis.
