(Provisions 30.6.3., 30.6.5., 30.6.6., 32.2.2. and 32.7.5.; Annexes 30.6.4 and 32.7.5)

The National Insurance and Surety Commission, based on the provisions of Articles 366, fraction II, 372, fractions VI and XLII, 373 and 381 of the Law of Insurance and Surety Companies, and

CONSIDERING

That on May 20, 2013, the Decree approving the National Development Plan 2013-2018 was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which contains the objectives, strategies, indicators and goals that will govern the actions of the Federal Government during the current administration.

That the aforementioned Plan foresees as a general strategy to raise productivity to bring Mexico to its maximum potential, so that government action is oriented around various national goals and cross-cutting strategies, among which is the "Close and Modern Government" strategy.

That the aforementioned cross-cutting strategy establishes that it is imperative to have an efficient government with evaluation mechanisms that allow improving its performance and the quality of services; that simplifies regulations and government procedures, and renders clear and timely accountability to the citizenry, therefore policies and programs must be framed within a public administration oriented to results, which optimizes the use of public resources.

That regulatory improvement is a public policy consisting of the generation of clear norms, simplified procedures and services, as well as effective institutions for their creation and application, which are oriented to obtain the maximum possible value from the available resources and the optimal functioning of the commercial, industrial, productive, service and human development activities of society as a whole, which fosters economic competition, facilitates business development, incentivizes formality and stimulates business activity.

That on April 4, 2013, the "Decree by which the Law of Insurance and Surety Companies is issued and various provisions of the Law on the Insurance Contract are reformed and added" was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, in whose First Article the Law of Insurance and Surety Companies is issued.

That on December 19, 2014, the Single Insurance and Surety Circular was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation with the provisions derived from the Law of Insurance and Surety Companies, systematizing its integration and homogenizing the terminology used, in order to thereby provide legal certainty regarding the regulatory framework to which insurance institutions and mutual insurance societies, surety institutions and other persons and entities subject to the inspection and supervision of the National Insurance and Surety Commission must adhere in the development of their operations.

That in order to comply with the objectives set forth in the "Strategy for Simplification of High-Impact Procedures of the Federal Public Administration" regarding the simplification of administrative burdens faced by individuals as a result of federal regulation, the National Insurance and Surety Commission has deemed it necessary to modify various Provisions and Annexes of the Single Insurance and Surety Circular in order to carry out an exercise of simplification of the procedures provided for in the aforementioned legal norms, eliminating in effect the request for the Unique Population Registry Key (CURP) as one of the requirements thereof.

For the aforementioned reasons, this Commission has resolved to issue the following modification to the Single Insurance and Surety Circular in the following terms:
