The annual statement made to the commissioner pursuant to this section or other provisions of said references shall at least include the substance of that which is required by what is known as the convention blank form adopted from year to year by the national association of insurance commissioners, including any instructions, procedures, and guidelines not in conflict with any provision of this title for completing the convention blank form.(2)
The commissioner may require any insurance company authorized to do business in this state to submit interim financial statements and reports on a monthly or quarterly basis in such form as he prescribes, as deemed necessary in the public interest.(3)
Each domestic, foreign, and alien insurer that is authorized to transact the business of insurance in this state shall on or before March 1 of each year file with the national association of insurance commissioners a copy of its annual statement convention blank, along with such additional filings as prescribed by the commissioner for the preceding year.

Intentionally left blank —Ed.(a)
In preparing the statements required by subsection (1) of this section, all insurance companies shall follow the instructions, procedures, and guidelines of the national association of insurance commissioners. If the initial application of any such instruction, procedure, or guideline would cause a reduction in the total capital and surplus of a domestic insurer of ten percent or more or would cause the capital and surplus of a domestic insurer to fall to or below the company action level as defined by the commissioner by rule, such insurer may, within thirty days after the effective date of such instruction, procedure, or guideline, file with the commissioner a request to phase in the effect of the instruction, procedure, or guideline over a period not to exceed three years or a time period approved by the commissioner.(b)
Any request made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (7) shall include a complete analysis, in a form prescribed by the commissioner, of the impact upon the insurer making the request that is expected to result from application of the subject instruction, procedure, or guideline and, if a phase-in is requested, a description of the insurer’s plan for the phase-in period. The commissioner shall not deny a request for a phase-in except upon notice and the opportunity for a hearing as provided in section 24-4-105, C.R.S.(c)
Any request for a hearing made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (7) shall include a description of the basis on which relief is sought. Upon receiving such a request, the commissioner shall, with regard to the insurer making the request, postpone the effective date of the subject instruction, procedure, or guideline pending the conclusion of the hearing and the taking of final agency action thereon. The hearing shall commence within sixty days after the commissioner receives the request and shall be conducted in accordance with section 24-4-105, C.R.S.(8)
