Alternative and Consolidated Registrations
(1)
An authorized insurer may file a registration statement, Form B, on behalf of an affiliated insurer or insurers that are required to register under ORS 732.551 (Registration of insurer members of holding company systems). A registration statement may include information not required by 732.517 (Purpose of ORS 732.517 to 732.546) to 732.592 (Recovery from parent corporation or holding company if domestic insurer ordered into liquidation or rehabilitation) regarding any insurer in the insurance holding company system even if the insurer is not an authorized insurer. In lieu of filing a registration statement on Form B, the authorized insurer may file a copy of the registration statement or similar report that it is required to file in its state of domicile, if:(a)
The statement or report contains information substantially similar to that required to be furnished on Form B; and(b)
The filing insurer is the principal insurer in the insurance holding company system.(2)
The question of whether the filing insurer is the principal insurer in the insurance holding company system is a question of fact, and an insurer filing a registration statement or report in lieu of Form B on behalf of an affiliated insurer shall set forth a brief statement of facts that will substantiate the filing insurer’s claim that it, in fact, is the principal insurer in the insurance holding company system.(3)
With the prior approval of the Director, an unauthorized insurer may follow any of the procedures that could be followed by an authorized insurer under section (1) of this rule.(4)
An insurer may take advantage of the provisions of ORS 732.562 (Consolidated registration) and 732.564 (Registration for affiliated insurers) without obtaining the prior approval of the Director. The Director reserves the right, however, to require individual filings if the Director considers such filings necessary in the interest of clarity, ease of administration or the public good.
