**URGENT NOTICE FOR SURPLUS LINES PRODUCERS**

Effective May 1, 2010, the New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner is transferring the electronic Surplus Lines submissions of forms and payment processing operations to OPTins (Online Premium Tax for Insurance), a product of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC").

The steps to submit your monthly policy filings are very simple and require no formal training. Easy to follow instructions will be provided by the NAIC. There is a set up process at the NAIC which could take up to two weeks. You will log in, upload your filing forms and submit your payment online. Your payments will be handled electronically and will be processed through the NAIC.

The current surplus lines database will only be available through May 10, 2010, after which time all 2010 filings will be transferred to the new OPTins system and will be available for review.

All Surplus Lines Producers will need to contact the OPTins Marketing Team optinsmktg@naic.org or 816.783.8787 with any questions and to register.
