NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule sets standards and the wording to be used in an actuarial opinion and memorandum as required in Section 31A-17-503. The opinion and memorandum are to be filed by all life and fraternal insurance companies along with their annual statements.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments regarding this rule have been received over the past five years.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule needs to be retained because it is an important requirement for financial regulators to gain a comfort level for insurance company reserves and for asset adequacy and liability matching. It is also required by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
