Section 1312. Trusteed surplus of alien insurers; impairment

(a) (1) In
  addition to other requirements of this chapter  every  authorized  alien
  insurer  shall, not later than the first day of March in each year, file
  with the superintendent a statement (herein called a  "trusteed  surplus
  statement"), on a form prescribed by him, showing at last year-end:
    (A)  all  its general state deposits, meaning assets within the United
  States deposited with officers of any state in trust for the security of
  all its policyholders, or policyholders and creditors, within the United
  States;
    (B) all its special state deposits, meaning assets within  the  United
  States deposited with officers of any state in trust for the security of
  its  policyholders,  or  policyholders  and  creditors,  in a particular
  state;
    (C) all its trusteed assets, meaning assets within the  United  States
  held by a trustee or trustees for the security of all its policyholders,
  or policyholders and creditors, within the United States;
    (D)  if  a  life  insurance company, the amount of its policy loans to
  policyholders within the United States, not exceeding the amount of  the
  legal reserve required on each such policy;
    (E)  all its reserves and other liabilities arising out of policies or
  obligations issued, assumed or incurred in the United States; and
    (F) such  further  information  as  may  be  necessary  to  apply  the
  provisions of this section.
    (2)  In determining the net amount of the insurer's liabilities in the
  United States, a deduction may be made: (i) for  reinsurance  on  losses
  with  authorized  insurers,  less  unpaid  reinsurance  premiums, with a
  schedule showing by companies the amount deducted, and (ii) for unearned
  premiums on agents' balances  or  uncollected  premiums  not  more  than
  ninety  days  past due. Any liability on an asset not considered in such
  statement may be applied against such asset.
    (3) No credit shall be allowed in such statement for any special state
  deposit  held  for  the   exclusive   benefit   of   policyholders,   or
  policyholders and creditors, of any particular state except as an offset
  against the liabilities of such alien insurer in such state.
    (4) The accrued interest at date of statement on assets deposited with
  states  and  trustees  shall  be  allowed  in such statement, where such
  interest is collected by the states or trustees.
    (b) (1) Such trusteed surplus statement shall be signed  and  verified
  by  the  United  States  manager,  attorney-in-fact, or a duly empowered
  assistant United States manager, of the  alien  insurer.  The  items  of
  securities  and other property held under trust deeds shall be certified
  to by the United States trustee or trustees. The superintendent  may  at
  any  time  require a further statement of the same kind and of such date
  as he may determine.
    (2) Every report on examination of the  United  States  branch  of  an
  alien  insurer shall include a trusteed surplus statement as of the date
  of examination in addition to the general  statement  of  the  financial
  condition of such United States branch.
    (c)  (1)  The  aggregate value of the insurer's general state deposits
  and trusteed assets  less  the  aggregate  net  amount  of  all  of  its
  liabilities   and  reserves  in  the  United  States  as  determined  in
  accordance with this section shall be known as its "trusteed surplus" in
  the United States. Whenever it appears to the  superintendent  from  any
  such statement or any report that an alien insurer's trusteed surplus is
  reduced  below  the  greater  of the minimum capital required of, or the
  minimum surplus  to  policyholders  required  to  be  maintained  by,  a
  domestic  insurer  licensed  to transact the same kinds of insurance, he
  shall determine the amount of such impairment  and  order  the  insurer,

  through  its  United  States  manager  or  attorney,  to  eliminate such
  impairment within such period as he designates,  not  more  than  ninety
  days  from  service of the order. He may also by order revoke or suspend
  such  insurer's  license or prohibit it from issuing new policies in the
  United States while such impairment exists.
    (2) If at the expiration of such designated period  such  insurer  has
  not   satisfied   the  superintendent  that  such  impairment  has  been
  eliminated, the superintendent may proceed against such insurer pursuant
  to the provisions of article seventy-four of this chapter as an  insurer
  whose  condition is such that its further transaction of business in the
  United States will be hazardous to its policyholders, its  creditors  or
  the public in the United States.
