007.04D In reviewing reports made under subsections 007.04A, B, and C, the Director shall give due consideration to the following factors:
(a) The frequency with which an insurer has made apparently unacceptable data reports;

(b) The standards of the statistical agent which the insurer failed; that is, whether the insurer's data would have been acceptable under standards employed by other statistical agents;

(c) Whether errors or omissions were due to human or machine error, or whether they indicated a lack of regard by the insurer in maintaining accuracy and completeness in their data submissions; and

(d) Whether the insurer has taken effective steps to minimize the recurrence of such errors and omissions.
