     (ii) is unsatisfactory.
     (b) If the commissioner determines the RBC plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the insurer or health organization shall set forth the reasons for the determination, and may propose revisions that will render the RBC plan satisfactory. Upon notification from the commissioner, the insurer or health organization shall:

     (ii) submit the revised RBC plan to the commissioner:
     (A) within 45 days after the notification from the commissioner; or

     (6) Every domestic insurer or health organization that files an RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the commissioner shall file a copy of the RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer or health organization is authorized to do business if:
     (a) the state has an RBC provision substantially similar to Subsection 31A-17-608(1); and
