C. an estimate of total charges for administering the plan; and

D. other criteria developed by the association and set forth in its operating rules.

Subp. 2. Approval.

The writing carrier selected by the association shall be approved by the commissioner prior to the establishment of a contract with the association and prior to the commencement of its duties pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 62E.13 and part 2740.4400.
