Information filed shall be in sufficient detail to permit the rating organization to prepare for the commissioner's review and approval, a report showing in the aggregate for all companies premiums earned, losses incurred, and dividends paid the preceding calendar year under policies containing a participating provision, separately by premium size and loss ratio categories, as may reasonably be prescribed by the commissioner.

(c) Information submitted by individual companies pursuant to this section shall be confidential and not subject to public disclosure under any law of this state.
