DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
BUREAU OF THE FISCAL SERVICE
WASHINGTON, DC 20227

August 18, 2022
TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF POOLS AND ASSOCIATIONS RECOGNIZED BY THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY:
The Treasury Department annually examines the December 31, financial statements of surety companies
holding Certificates of Authority from the Treasury. As a result of this examination, an underwriting
limitation is established for each company, based on the reported Policyholders' Surplus. When
establishing a company's underwriting limitation, adjustments may be made to its surplus based on
reinsurance (as reported on Schedule F) that has been placed with companies, pools and associations
not recognized by Treasury. This disallowance applies even if the reinsurance does not cover surety
bonds and regardless of whether the United States is involved.
The Treasury recognizes pools and associations as Admitted Reinsurers to the extent of the
percentage of participation by Treasury authorized companies in each association.
In the past, some companies holding a Certificate of Authority have reported reinsurance ceded to your
association in the Schedule F of their financial statement. In order for these companies to continue to
receive credit for such reinsurance, the Treasury needs the names of the member companies of your
association and their percentage of participation. Please use the attached form to report
participants and their percentages. Information in any other format may not be accepted by this
office. This enclosure is also available for downloading from our internet address listed below. For
future mailings, you can provide us with your company name and email address by sending it to
[email protected]. Please state on the Subject line, “Pools and Associations”.
If you wish Treasury recognition of your pool or association to continue, please indicate on the
enclosure, the respective company's percentage of participation as a member of your pool or
association and return to this office, by August 26, 2022. Also independent loss reserve certifications
should be provided as soon as they are available for 2020 reporting purposes. The attached form should
be completed and emailed to:
[email protected]
If you do not wish Treasury recognition of your pool or association to continue, please contact
Aaron Conley at (304) 480-7788 or email at [email protected]. The list of recognized
Pools and Associations will be published as of September 30, 2022. It is, therefore, essential that the
requested information be submitted on time.
Sincerely,

Bobbi S.
