In addition, every domestic insurer shall file its RBC Report:
(1) With the NAIC in accordance with the RBC Instructions; and

(2) The risk of adverse insurance experience with respect to the insurer’s liabilities and obligations;
(3) The interest rate risk with respect to the insurer’s business; and
(4) All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC Instructions;
(c) Factors set forth in subsection (b)(1) through (4) of this section shall be determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC Instructions.

(4) All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC Instructions;
(e) The factors set forth in subsection (d)(1) through (4) of this section shall be determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC Instructions.
(f) An excess of capital over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this chapter and the formulas, schedules, and instructions referenced in this chapter is desirable in the business of insurance. Insurers should maintain capital above the RBC Levels required by this chapter.
(g) If a domestic insurer files an RBC Report which in the judgment of the Commissioner is inaccurate, then the Commissioner shall adjust the RBC Report to correct the inaccuracy and shall notify the insurer of the adjustment. An RBC Report so adjusted is an Adjusted RBC Report. The notice shall contain a statement of the reason for the adjustment.
