UCC records may be tendered for filing at the filing office as
				follows.
(A)
			 Electronic filing - XML format.
UCC records, excluding  filing officer statements, may be transmitted
				electronically using the XML format approved by the international association
				of commercial administrators. At the request of an authorized XML remitter, the
				filing office shall identify which versions and releases of the XML format are
				acceptable to the filing office. The filing office publishes an implementation
				guide that prescribes the use of the XML format. The implementation guide shall
				be available to the public upon request. The file date
				and time for a UCC record delivered by this method is the
				date and time that the filing office's UCC
				information management system analyzes the relevant transmission and determines
				that all the required elements of the transmission have been received in a
				required format and are machine-readable.

			 web page data entry. UCC records may be delivered by on-line data entry using
			 the filing office's website on the internet. The file date and time for a UCC record delivered by this

			 required elements of the UCC record in the proper format is acknowledged by the
			 on-line entry system.
