					 submitted to LAIVS at least once a calendar month that includes specified

					 liability coverage. Insurance providers who are not hosting a web service or
					 whose web services do not support VIN broadcasting must provide BOB data on a
					 weekly basis.
Decryption Error File
-this file will be
					 generated if a PGP decryption error occurs. Decryption errors can happen for
					 the following reasons: the file sent by insurance provider was not encrypted,
					 the file sent by insurance provider was improperly encrypted, or the file sent
					 by insurance provider was encrypted using the wrong PGP key.
DPS
-Louisiana Department of Public
					 Safety.
Fleet Policy
-a policy insuring a business
					 with a fleet of five or more vehicles registered in Louisiana for which VIN
					 information is not maintained on each vehicle. However, if the insurance
					 provider does maintain the VIN of each vehicle within the fleet, the filing
					 must be reported on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis.

					 network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host
					 over a TCP-based network.

					 Motor Vehicle Administration.

					 National Association of Insurance Commissioners to licensed and affiliated

					 Vehicles.
Reject File
-this file will be generated if
					 LAIVS cannot read the file or if the file is improperly formatted and the whole
					 file is being rejected. The file may be rejected for the following reasons: the
					 file is not formatted properly, the trailer has a non-zero record count but
					 detail records of the file are missing, the length of each record (line) is not
					 up to the length specified in the guide, the end of a record missing carriage
					 return and line feed (Hexadecimal 0D 0A).
Row Error File
-row error files are
					 generated when the overall file format sent by the insurance provider is okay
					 but some of the rows have errors including mandatory fields missing and invalid
					 field formats. The row error file will contain only the records that are in
					 error The remaining records sent with the original file will be processed by
					 LAIVS and will not appear in the file. Each error record will have the original
					 row sent by the insurance provider followed by a 3 digit Error Code. The format
					 of the Error Code will be E followed by the Field ID of the invalid/missing
					 field. For example, the Error Code for a row with an invalid NAIC number will
					 be "E02".
VIN Broadcasting
-if the VIN in the
					 verification request message matches an insured vehicle but the policy number
					 in the request does not match the insurance policy number, then the insurance
					 providers web service should be able to indicate that the vehicle is covered.
					 This is known as "VIN broadcasting" or "unknown carrier request".
VIN No-Match File
-the VIN No-Match files
					 are generated if any of the VINs submitted by the insurance provider do not
					 match VINs of vehicles registered in LA. The VIN No-Match file will include all
					 the records where the VIN did not match. Each record will have the original row
					 sent by the insurance provider followed by "E05", the 3 digit error code
					 indicating VIN mismatch.
