Introduction

This Part implements Article 63 of the Insurance Law. Article 63 authorizes special risks that are jumbo in dimension or exotic in nature to be written in the “free trade zone”. Insurance companies do not have to file the rates and forms with the Insurance Department for risks written in the “free trade zone”.

However, the rates and policy forms used for the special risks still must comply with the governing standards set forth in the Insurance Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Pursuant to Regulation 86, 11 NYCRR Part 16, “special risks” are specifically identified and categorized into two groups; Class (1) and Class (2). Class (2) includes coverages that are:

(i) of an unusual nature, a high loss hazard, or difficult to place; and

(ii) identified on the list set forth in Section 16.12(e) of Regulation 86 or additions thereto made pursuant to Section 16.8(f) of Regulation 86.

Section 16.8(f) establishes procedures for adding Class 2 risks to the regulatory framework. Application may be made to the Superintendent to add a class to the list of eligible Class 2 risks enumerated in Section 16.12(e). If the Superintendent, after review of the application, determines that it should be added to the list, it is published in the State Register, pursuant to Section 16.8(f)(3).

Additions to Class 2 risks are effective on the date specified in the Public Notice that is published in the State Register. The text of Regulation 86 is periodically amended to incorporate the Class 2 risks added via publication in the State Register.

Pursuant to the provisions of section 1111(j)(2) of the Tax Law, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is required to give public notice of the base retail price adjustment calculation and the resulting base retail price of cigarettes for purposes of establishing the prepaid sales tax on cigarettes imposed by section 1103 of the Tax Law. Section 1111(j) of the Tax Law was amended by Chapter 85 of the Laws of 2002 to provide that the base retail price of cigarettes shall be adjusted each year by a factor based upon the manufacturers' list price for a carton of standard brand cigarettes. The base retail price adjustment factor for the period September 1, 2008, through August 31, 2009, is 1.0244. The base retail price adjustment calculation results in a base retail price of cigarettes effective September 1, 2008, as follows:

Package of twenty (20) cigarettes: $5.161 × 1.0244= $5.287

For each additional five (5) cigarettes: $1.290 × 1.0244= $1.321

The base retail price is adjusted annually, to take effect the first day of September.
