National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or
subsidiaries, with any third-party consultant designated by the
superintendent, with local, state, federal, and international law
enforcement authorities, including members of any supervisory college
described in section three hundred two of this chapter, provided that
the recipient has the authority and agrees to maintain the
confidentiality and privileged status of the document, material or other
information and has verified in writing the legal authority to maintain
confidentiality; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not be
construed as limiting access to records pursuant to article six of the
public officers law, except as provided in paragraph three of subsection
(b) of this section;

(2) may receive documents, materials or information, including
otherwise confidential, privileged, and trade secret documents,
materials or information, from the New York Liquidation Bureau, from the

foreign or domestic jurisdictions, including members of any supervisory
college described in section three hundred two of this chapter, and from

materials or information consistent with this subsection.

(b) (1) No waiver of any applicable privilege or claim of
confidentiality in the documents, materials, or information shall occur
as a result of disclosure to the superintendent under this section or as
a result of sharing as authorized in this section.

(2) The sharing of documents, materials, or information by the
superintendent pursuant to this section shall not constitute a
delegation of regulatory authority or rulemaking, and the superintendent
is solely responsible for the administration, execution, and enforcement
of the provisions of this section.

control of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
