Circular Letter 64-3

WITHDRAWN

TO ALL LICENSED RATING ORGANIZATIONS AND INSURERS MAKING AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE RATE FILINGS

Automobile Insurance Rate Filings under Insurance Law Article VIII

As part of our program to expedite review of rate filings under Article VIII of the Insurance Law, this Department has developed an interrogatory blank for use in connection with automobile liability and physical damage rate filings, which will until further notice be expected to be completed and submitted for consideration with each such filing.

A copy of the interrogatory form is attached.

This interrogatory procedure is, however, not applicable to the rating of individual risks under Insurance Law Section 185(3), or to other procedures which require individual risk filings with this Department, or to rate deviations under Section 185(4).

If after a period of trial the utility of this interrogatory form is established, the Department expects to extend use of it, or of some modification of it, to other rate filings.

Very truly yours,

SAMUEL C. CANTOR

Acting Superintendent of Insurance
