- The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12A-1.057, F.A.C. (Alcoholic and Malt Beverages), is to delete an unnecessary reference to the Department’s authority to require a surety bond or cash deposit.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.060, F.A.C. (Registration), is to provide when the Department will require a cash deposit, surety bond, or irrevocable letter of credit as a condition for any person to obtain or retain a dealer’s certificate of registration. The proposed amendments: (1) define the terms “person,” “security,” and “tax or fee liability” for purposes of these requirements; (2) provide the qualifying events for which the Department will determine that security will be required for a person to obtain, retain, or renew a dealer’s certificate of registration; (3) provide how the Department will determine the amount of security required; (4) provide that the Department will provide written notice of intent to deny registration or written notice of intent to revoke registration, as applicable, unless security is posted; (5) provide requirements for requesting a conference regarding the requirement to provide security and inform persons of the right to request an administrative hearing; (6) provide that if the Department determines the amount of an existing security is insufficient or the amount of the security is reduced or released, the Department will provide written notification to the person of the revised amount of security required, and that the person notified must provide additional security or request a conference regarding the requirement to provide additional security; (7) provide that if additional security is provided the Department will cancel, surrender, or discharge the previous security; (8) provide that the duration of security required by the Department will not be less than 12 months; (9) provide that, if the person required to provide security ceases operations during the time the security is held, a written request to the Department is required for it to return a cash deposit or to release the surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit; (10) provide that the Department will offset any reimbursement against any outstanding liability of a dealer that ceases business during the term of the security; and (11) provide that the Department may initiate an action to seek a release of moneys from the security held by the Department if a taxpayer is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of its tax or fee liability.
The effect of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.060, F.A.C., will be to provide the requirements and procedures the Department will use when requiring security in the form of a cash deposit, surety bond, or irrevocable letter of credit as a condition to obtaining or retaining a dealer’s certificate of registration, under the authority of Section 212.14(4), F.S.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.097, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), is to adopt, by reference, Form DR-17A, Certificate of Cash Deposit/Cash Bond, and Form DR-29, Application for Refund of Cash Deposit/Cash Bond.

- Granting a variance under Section 120.542, F.S. (SJRWMD FOR #2007-51), to West Melbourne Town Center, LLC (Petitioner). The Petition for Variance was received by SJRWMD on June 29, 2007. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the variance was published in the F.A.W., Vol. 33, No. 29 on July 20, 2007. No public comment was received. This order provides a temporary variance from subparagraph 40C-41.063(1)(c)1. of the Florida Administrative Code and Section 11.1.3 of the Applicant’s Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters (February 1, 2005). These rules provide in pertinent part that a surface water management system may not result in an increase in the amount of water being diverted from the Upper St. Johns River Hydrologic Basin to intercoastal receiving waters. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board’s decision to grant the variance as follows: 1) requiring Petitioner to comply with these rules onsite would create a technological hardship, and 2) Petitioner’s financial contribution to the C-1 Rediversion Project or an Alternative Rediversion Project will accomplish the purpose of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes to prevent harm to the water resources, by facilitating the project's implementation. The C-1 Rediversion Project is a restoration project designed to allow water that would be diverted from the St. Johns River to coastal receiving waters by the Melbourne-Tillman Water Control District canal system to drain once again to the St. Johns River.

At the time of election and annually thereafter, except for business valued under the Residual Standard Nonsmoker Table, the appointed actuary shall certify that:
1. The present value of death benefits over the next ten years after the valuation date, using the anticipated mortality experience without recognition of mortality improvement beyond the valuation date for each class, is less than the present value of death benefits using the valuation basic table corresponding to the valuation table being used for that class.

- Cabinet Meeting Room, Lower Level, The Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida
- This is the Final Public Hearing on the adoption of proposed amendments to Rule 69O-164.030, Florida Administrative Code, published on July 27, 2007 in Vol. 33, No. 30, of the F.A.W., No notice of change was published. This takes the place of the earlier Notice published on October 19, 2007, about the December 18, 2007 Public Hearing.
THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE IS:
69O-164.030 Application of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., to Various Product Designs.
(1) No change.
(2) Application. The list below specifies reserving approaches which the Office regards as being most consistent with the letter and spirit of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C. However, the specified reserving approaches should be modified as needed to comply with the intent of this rule that similar reserves be established for policy designs that contain similar guarantees.
(a) through (h) No change.
(i) A universal life policy guarantees the coverage to remain in force as long as the accumulation of premiums paid satisfies the secondary guarantee requirement.
1. For policies and certificates issued prior to July 1, 2005, and for policies and certificates issued on or after January 1, 2011:
a. through i. No change.
2. For policies and certificates issued on or after July 1, 2005, and prior to January 1, 2007:
a. through i. No change.
3. For policies and certificates issued on or after January 1, 2007, and prior to January 1, 2011:
a. First, the minimum gross premiums (determined at issue) that will satisfy the secondary guarantee requirement must be derived.
b. Second, for purposes of applying paragraphs (7)(b) and (7)(c) of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., the “specified premiums” are the minimum gross premiums derived in sub-subparagraph a.
(I) Consistent with Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., the remaining sub-subparagraphs in this rule should be calculated on a segmented basis, using the segments that Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., defines for the product. Therefore, in the remaining sub-subparagraphs, the term “fully fund the guarantee” should be interpreted to mean fully funding the guarantee to the end of each possible segment. The term “remainder of the secondary guarantee period” should be interpreted to mean the remainder of each possible segment. The total reserve should equal the greatest of all possible segmented reserves.
(II) Additionally, for purposes of applying paragraphs (7)(b) and (c) of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., a lapse rate of no more than 2% per year for the first 5 years, followed by no more than 1% per year to the policy anniversary specified in the following table based on issue age, and 0% per year thereafter may be used. If the duration in the table is less than 5, then a lapse rate of no more than 2% per year may be used through that duration, and 0% per year thereafter.
Issue Age Duration
0-50 30th Policy Anniversary
51-60 Policy Anniversary Age 80
61-70 20th Policy Anniversary
71-89 Policy Anniversary Age 90
90 and over No Lapse
c. Third, a determination should be made of the amount of actual premium payments in excess of the minimum gross premiums. For policies utilizing shadow accounts, this will be the amount of the shadow account. For policies with no shadow accounts but which specify cumulative premium requirements, this excess will be the amount of the cumulative premiums paid in excess of the cumulative premium requirements; the cumulative premium payments and requirements should include any interest credited under the secondary guarantee (with interest credited at the rate specified under the secondary guarantee).
d. Fourth, as of the valuation date for the policy being valued, for policies utilizing shadow accounts, determine the minimum amount of shadow account required to fully fund the guarantee. For policies with no shadow accounts but which specify cumulative premium requirements, determine the amount of the cumulative premiums paid in excess of the cumulative premium requirements that would result in no future premium requirements to fully fund the guarantee; the cumulative premium payments and requirements should include any interest credited under the secondary guarantee (with interest credited at the rate specified under the secondary guarantee). For any policy for which the secondary guarantee cannot be fully funded in advance, solve for the minimum sum of any possible excess funding (either the amount in the shadow account or excess cumulative premium payments depending on the product design) and the present value of future premiums (using the maximum allowable valuation interest rate and the minimum mortality standards allowable for calculating basic reserves) that would fully fund the guarantee. The amount determined above for this sub-subparagraph is to then be divided by one minus a seven percent premium load allowance (0.93). The result from sub-subparagraph c. should be divided by this number, with the resulting ratio capped at 1. The ratio is intended to measure the level of prefunding for a secondary guarantee which is used to establish reserves. Assumptions within the numerator and denominator of the ratio therefore must be consistent in order to appropriately reflect the level of prefunding. The denominator is allowed to be inconsistent only by the amount of the premium load allowance as defined in this sub-subparagraph. As used here, “assumptions” include any factor or value, whether assumed or known, which is used to calculate the numerator or denominator of the ratio.
e. Fifth, compute the net single premium on the valuation date for the coverage provided by the secondary guarantee for the remainder of the secondary guarantee period, using any valuation table and select factors authorized in paragraph (5)(a) of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C. For purposes of calculating the net single premium, a lapse rate subject to the same criteria as the lapse rate used in applying paragraph b. above may be used.
f. Sixth, the “net amount of additional premiums” is determined by multiplying the ratio from sub-subparagraph d. by the difference between the net single premium from sub-subparagraph e. and the basic and deficiency reserve, if any, computed in sub-subparagraph b.
g. Seventh, a “reduced deficiency reserve” should be computed by multiplying the deficiency reserve, if any, by one minus the ratio from sub-subparagraph d., but not less than zero. This “reduced deficiency reserve” is the deficiency reserve to be used for purposes of subparagraph (7)(d)1. of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C.
h. Eighth, the actual reserve used for purposes of subparagraph (7)(d)1. of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., is the lesser of: (1) the net single premium from sub-subparagraph e., and (2) the amount of the excess from sub-subparagraph f., plus the basic reserve and the deficiency reserve, if any, computed in sub-subparagraph b.
(I) Reduce this result by the applicable policy surrender charges, i.e., the account value less the cash surrender value.
(II) Multiply the applicable policy surrender charge by the ratio of the net level premium for the secondary guarantee period divided by the net level premium for whole life insurance.
(III) Calculate both net premiums using the maximum allowable valuation interest rate and the minimum mortality standards allowable for calculating basic reserves. However, if no future premiums are required to support the guarantee period being valued, there is no reduction for surrender charges.
(IV) Multiply this surrender charge by the ratio of the net level premium for the secondary guarantee period divided by the net level premium for whole life insurance. Calculate both net premiums using the maximum allowable valuation interest rate and the minimum mortality standards allowable for calculating basic reserves.
(V) If the resulting amount is less than the sum of the basic and deficiency reserve from sub-subparagraph b., then the basic and deficiency reserves to be used for the purposes of subparagraph (7)(d)1. of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., are those calculated in sub-subparagraph b., and no further calculation is required.
i. Ninth, an “increased basic reserve” should be computed by subtracting the “reduced deficiency reserve” in sub-subparagraph g. from the reserve computed in sub-subparagraph h. This “increased basic reserve” is the basic reserve to be used for purposes of subparagraph 69O-164.020(7)(d)1., F.A.C.
j. Business reserved pursuant to subparagraph (2)(i)3. of this rule must be supported by an asset adequacy analysis specific to this business.
(I) This asset adequacy analysis must be performed pursuant to the requirements of Section 625.121(3), F.S.
(II) Reserves required by subparagraph (2)(i)3. of this rule, plus any additional reserves required by the asset adequacy analysis, shall be the minimum reserves for this business.
(3) No change.

The insurer is required to submit an actuarial demonstration with the initial filing for approval demonstrating such incidental compliance.
(b)2. The acceleration is considered incidental if the value of the accelerated benefit is less than 10 percent of the total value of the benefits provided by the life insurance coverage. These values shall be measured as: a. tThe present values of the benefits determined as of the date of issue, determined according to the formula (NSP2-NSP1)/NSP1, applied over a range of underwriting classes and plans at which the benefit is being made available, is not in any case greater than 10%, where; or
1. NSP1 and NSP2 are determined using an effective annual interest rate of 6%.
2. NSP1 is the net single premium for the base policy benefits assuming there is no accelerated death benefit.

(b) The relationship between the premiums if the premiums are separable and fixed at issue.
(c) If a separate premium or cost of insurance (COI) charge is the only charge being charged for the accelerated benefit provided, the ratio of the present value of the accelerated benefit premiums or COI charges over the life of the policy to the present value of the policy premiums or COI charges exclusive of any riders, does not exceed 10%, the present values shall be determined using an effective annual interest rate of 6%.
(d) Upon request of the Office, the insurer shall provide an actuarial demonstration that the accelerated death benefit continues to meet these standards. If it is determined that the accelerated death benefit fails to comply with these standards, the provisions of these rules shall apply.
