(b) Adjustments. An appropriate adjustment may be made to the tables in paragraph (a) of this section to reflect risks (such as substandard risks) incurred under the contract which are not otherwise taken into account.

(c) Special rule where more than 1 table or option applicable. If, with respect to any category of risks, there are 2 or more tables (or options under 1 or more tables) in paragraph (a) of this section, the table (and option thereunder) which generally yields the lowest reserves shall be used to compute reserves under section 807(d)(2) for the contract.

(d) Effective date. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1983, except that the 1985 Commissioners' Individual Disability Tables A and B shall be treated (for purposes of section 807(d)(5)(B) and for purposes of determining the issue dates of contracts for which they shall be used) as if the tables were new prevailing commissioners' standard tables adopted by the twenty-sixth State on December 26, 1989.
