In an effort to make the filing and record keeping of surplus lines processing information as streamlined as possible, PSLA has clarified the distinctions between "Kind" of insurance and "Class" of operations. Historically, the surplus lines market has been the insurance market in which new creations of insurance coverage are developed. At the same time, we all need to categorize the various kinds of insurance and classes of operations for reporting purposes and to ensure our position with the Insurance Department with respect to the Export List and its ongoing development.

Below is a listing of the "Kinds" of insurance and "Class" of operations to use as a reference guide. Please make all staff members aware of these "standardized" classifications to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of all filings. You will note that on the "Kinds" list, reference is made to a variety of casualty coverage and a variety of property coverage. In addition, we have included three forms of coverage that involve both property and casualty coverages and involve a combined premium (Homeowners, BOP/SMP and Garage Package).

As you know, the Export List contains a variety of kinds of insurance coverage, as well as classes of business or professional operations that are frequently placed in the surplus lines market. As we record the many filings that are sent to us, we also record a variety of additional "Kinds & Classes" beyond the Export List so that we may be able to amend the Export List.

Please note on the Class list that reference is made to business, professional or service operations that have been included along with some unique areas of operations where the surplus lines market plays a major role. Therefore, this list includes specific classes as well as general or miscellaneous classes.

The reason for bringing this information to your attention is because we need you to choose from our predefined Kind & Class List (see below) while preparing your surplus lines filings. Although this issue may not seem too important, the truth is to the contrary. The simple act of using our "Kinds & Classes" will speed up the data entry process greatly and will help to keep the records well organized.

However, since we try to be as accurate as possible in our data recording, we are open to suggested additions to both lists. Our only caution is that we do not want to expand these two lists to the point where we defeat the purpose of "standardization." Therefore, we ask that you do your best to stay within the enclosed lists. The benefit to you is twofold: the more items on the Export List, the less time it will take to complete the filing process and by keeping with our "standardized lists," PSLA can provide you with statistical information based on premium volume in the marketplace.
