Sec. 703.106  Certificate of authority to write insurance.

    No corporation, company, association, person, or fund shall write 
insurance under this Act without first having received from the OWCP a 
certificate of authority to write such insurance. Any such certificate 
issued by the Office, after application therefor in accordance with 
these regulations, may authorize the applicant to write such insurance 
in a limited territory as determined by the Office. Any such certificate 
may be suspended or revoked by the Office prior to its expiration for 
good cause shown, but no suspension or revocation shall affect the 
liability of any carrier already incurred. Good cause shall include, 
without limitation, the failure to maintain in such limited territory a 
regular business office with full authority to act on all matters 
falling within the Act, and the failure to promptly and properly perform 
the carrier's responsibilities under the Act and these regulations, with 
special emphasis upon lack of promptness in making payments when due, 
upon failure to furnish appropriate medical care, and upon attempts to 
offer to, or urge upon, claimants inequitable settlements. A hearing may 
be requested by the aggrieved party and shall be held before the 
Director or his representative prior to the taking of any adverse action 
under this section.
