(a) When reviewing each filing under this division, TDI may request additional supplementary rating information and supporting information.
(b) To be considered fully responsive to a request for information, an insurer's responses must:
  (1) fully address all of the requests and questions in a manner that is clear and in sufficient detail to allow a qualified actuary to understand and evaluate the material and any explanations provided;
  (2) contain appropriate supporting data and calculations, including material assumptions, with sufficient narrative to clearly explain the methodology used, the nature and source of the data, and any conclusions drawn; and
  (3) provide an explanation of any apparent anomalies in the data and how the insurer mitigated or accounted for them in arriving at the proposed rates and rules.
(c) TDI may request that an insurer file a comprehensive set of rates, rating manuals, rules, fees, and all other supplementary rating information when filing a revision to previously filed rates, rating manuals, rules, fees, and all other supplementary rating information.
(d) For each filing under Insurance Code Chapter 2251, TDI may request additional supplementary rating information and supporting information five times each. The insurer must respond by the date specified in the request. Correspondence requesting information that should have been included in the response, or clarifications of the information included in the response, will not constitute a new request for information.
(e) Requests that are necessary to make the filing complete are not a request for information under subsection (d) of this section. Examples of this type of request include:
  (1) requests for information required by §5.9310 of this title (relating to Property and Casualty Transmittal Information and General Filing Requirements);
  (2) requests for information required by §5.9334 of this title (relating to Requirements for Rate and Rule Filing Submissions); and
  (3) requests arising from discrepancies in the filing.
