    B.  In the event of a Company Action Level Event, the insurer shall, unless otherwise directed by the Commissioner, prepare and submit to the Commissioner an RBC Plan which shall include the following five elements:

    1.  Conditions which contribute to the Company Action Level Event;

    2.  Proposals of corrective actions which the insurer intends to take and which would be expected to result in the elimination of the Company Action Level Event;

    3.  Projections of the insurer's financial results in the current year and at least the four (4) succeeding years, both in the absence of proposed corrective actions and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions, including projections of statutory operating income, net income, or capital and surplus.  Unless the Commissioner otherwise directs, the projections for both new and renewal business shall include separate projections for each major line of business and separately identify each significant income, expense and benefit component;

    4.  The key assumptions impacting the insurer's projections and the sensitivity of the projections to the assumptions; and

    D.  Within sixty (60) days after the submission by an insurer of an RBC Plan to the Commissioner, the Commissioner shall notify the insurer whether the RBC Plan shall be implemented or is, in the judgment of the Commissioner, unsatisfactory.  If the Commissioner determines the RBC Plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the insurer shall set forth the reasons for the determination, and may set forth proposed revisions which will render the RBC Plan satisfactory, in the judgment of the Commissioner.  Upon notification from the Commissioner, the insurer shall prepare a Revised RBC Plan, which may incorporate by reference any revisions proposed by the Commissioner, and shall submit the Revised RBC Plan to the Commissioner:

    1.  Within forty-five (45) days after the notification from the Commissioner; or

    F.  Every domestic insurer that files an RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the Commissioner shall file a copy of the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if:

    1.  The state has an RBC provision substantially similar to subsection A of Section 1531 of this title; and

    a.fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the request to file a copy of its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the state, or
