1. Who is required to respond to this data call?

Only companies who are licensed to write personal property (“personal”) and/or commercial property (“commercial”) insurance coverage in South Carolina and actively wrote over $1 million in premium for such policies in any one previous calendar year beginning in 2006 are required to respond.

• Agents: No response is expected from any agents
• Commercial Lines: Includes Business Owners Policy (BOP) and Special Multi Peril (SMP)
• Personal Lines: Includes dwelling, tenant, condo, and mobile-homeowners
• Surplus Lines: No response is currently required from surplus lines insurers

2. How should total written premium be calculated to determine whether or not the company exceeds the $1 million threshold for eligibility?

Please use all policies written in South Carolina (not just the wind pool territory) and calculate personal and commercial separately. For personal please use annual statement line 040 homeowners and for commercial please use lines 051 commercial multiple peril (non-liability).

3. Is a reply necessary if the company is under the $1 million threshold for both "personal" and "commercial"?

No, a response is not necessary, - even a null (all zeros) spreadsheet. An email indicating such ("N/A: under $1M for both Personal and Commercial") will be accepted, but is not necessary, either.

4. Is a reply necessary if the company is over the $1 million threshold for either personal or commercial and none of the policies written were in the wind pool territory?

Yes, please reply with a null (all 0s) spreadsheet for that tab (personal and/or commercial) and indicate such ("over $1 million, but none in the wind pool") in the spreadsheet.

5. If the company wrote less than the $1 million threshold in 2006 and more than the $1 million threshold in 2007 for personal and/or commercial, is a response necessary to the data call in 2008?

Yes, only companies who wrote less than $1 million in 2006 and 2007 for both lines are not required to respond.
