ii. Loans, incurred and repaid;

iii. Partial surrenders or withdrawals;

6. For forms that provide a fixed account or other interest option, all interest credits, rates, and the amounts to which such rates apply for the period covered by the report shall be recorded in a periodic report, or transaction or confirmation notice.
i. In the case of policies with "buckets" or "generations" of interest, the Commissioner shall waive the requirement set forth in (a)6 above if:
(1) The report states that the insurer will provide interest rates and crediting methodology to the owner upon request and free of charge; and

(2) The information available upon request shall record all interest rates, together with the amounts to which such rates apply.

ii. Notwithstanding any waiver granted pursuant to (a)6i above, the report shall record the interest rates and credits applied to monies newly allocated to a fixed account option during the reporting period, unless such interest rates and credits are provided by the insurer in a transaction or confirmation notice at the time of allocation; and

7. The report sent after annuitization for variable payments shall provide a reconciliation of annuity payments. The annuity unit values shall be listed by fund, sub-account or division. The units and unit values shall not be listed in the aggregate. For annuitization to fixed payments, no report is required.
