(2) Substitute a mortality table which is of the same blend as used in subrule 42.3(1) above but applied to form a blend of the 1980 CET Table (M) and the 1980 CET Table (F) for the 1980 CET Table for use in determining minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.

(3) The following tables, as developed and revised by the Society of Actuaries and adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners shall be considered as the basis for acceptable gender-blended mortality tables:

a. 100 percent male 0 percent female, for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-A" and "1980 CET-A" tables.

e. 40 percent male 60 percent female, for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-E" and "1980 CET-E" tables.

f. 20 percent male 80 percent female, for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-F" and "1980 CET-F" tables.

Such group conversions issued on or after January I, 1986, shall use mortality tables based on the blend of lives by gender expected for such policies if the group conversion policy is considered to be controlled by the decision in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris.
