- 2026-13BWG Modified: This item adds an active status code column to the Cybersecurity Insurance Coverage Supplement, Part 5 and to the Private Flood Insurance Supplement, Parts 2 through 6 to identify the active status for each state. The addition of the active status will allow a user to determine if the policies are being written in the admitted or nonadmitted market. (P)
- 2026-14BWG: This item updates the Schedule P instructions with revisions exposed at the Casualty Actuarial and Statistical (C) Task Force. The revisions primarily clarify reporting requirements and remove incorrect or outdated information. (P)

A new Security ID Type column will be included to disclose which security identifier is being used and all remaining columns will be renumbered. The electronic-only ISIN column will be removed and all references to CUSIP throughout the instructions will be changed to Security Identifier when the instructions are not specifically referring to CUSIP.
