Whenever in the opinion of the Office the principal sum of the indemnity bond filed or the amount of negotiable securities deposited by a self-insurer is insufficient to afford adequate security for the payment of compensation and medical expenses under said Act, the self- insurer shall, upon demand by the Office, file such additional indemnity bond or deposit under the regulations in this part such additional amount of negotiable securities as the Office may require.
