The White Paper initiative originated when the NAIC undertook the study of the availability and affordability of auto insurance after the 2013 Federal Insurance Office Regulatory Modernization Report identified insurer data mining activities as a problem manifested by insurance price optimization practices.
The issue of price optimization was initially heard by the NAIC’s Auto Insurance Study Group during December 2013. After comprehensive evaluation, it was decided that, because the topic extends beyond auto insurance and requires a great deal of actuarial expertise, further research on it, as well as its regulatory implications, would best be handled by the Casualty Actuarial and Statistical Task Force–part of the NAIC’s Property and Casualty Committee. The Task Force will ultimately respond to the Auto Insurance Study Group in the form of the White Paper.
