(D) At the level at which legal liability for failing in the duties of general corporate governance would occur.

(b) An insurer or insurance group that determines the level at which the insurer or insurance group provides information in the corporate governance annual disclosure under paragraph (a)(B), (C) or (D) of this subsection shall indicate which criteria the insurer or insurance group used for the disclosure and explain any subsequent changes in the level at which the disclosure occurs.
