				  under §

				  96.40 of this title, a transition property
				  notice is filed upon receipt by the filing officer with the filing fee and the

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The following grounds are the sole grounds for the filing
					 officer's refusal to accept a transition property notice for filing. As used
					 herein, the term "legible" is not limited to refer only to written expressions
					 on paper: it requires a machine-readable transmission for electronic
					 transmissions and an otherwise readily decipherable transmission in other
					 cases.
(1) Grantor or Assignor Name
				  and Address. An initial transition property notice or an amendment that
				  purports to add a grantor or assignor under §
										RSA
				  96.42 of this title shall be refused if the
				  document fails to include a legible grantor or assignor name and address for a
				  grantor, in the case of an initial transition property notice, or for a grantor
				  or assignor purporting to be added in the case of such an amendment. If the
				  document contains more than one grantor or assignor name or address and some
				  names or addresses are missing or illegible, the filing officer shall index the
				  legible name and address pairings, and provide a notice to the submitter
				  containing the file number of the document, identification of the grantor or
				  assignor name(s) that was (were) indexed, and a statement that grantors or
				  assignors with illegible or missing names or addresses were not
				  indexed.
(2) Financing Party or
				  Assignee Name and Address. An initial transition property notice, an amendment
				  purporting to add a financing party or assignee of record, or an assignment,
				  that is required to name a financing party or assignee of record under §
										RSA
				  96.42 of this title shall be refused if the
				  document fails to include a legible financing party or assignee of record name
				  and address if the document contains more than one financing party or assignee
				  name or address and some names or addresses are missing or illegible, the
				  filing officer shall refuse the transition property notice document.
(3) Lack of Identification of Initial
				  Transition Property Notice Filing. A transition property notice other than an
				  initial transition property notice shall be refused if the document does not
				  provide a file number of a transition property notice in the UCC information
				  management system that has not lapsed.
(4) Other Required Information. A transition
				  property notice that does not identify itself as an original transition
				  property notice or another type of transition property notice shall be
				  refused.
(5) Fee. A document shall
				  be refused if the document is accompanied by less than the full filing fee
				  tendered by a method described in §
										RSA 96.6 of
				  this title.

(b) The document shall be accompanied by a
				  notice that contains the date and time the document would have been filed had
				  it been accepted for filing (unless such date and time are stamped on the
				  document); and a brief description of the reason for refusal to accept the
				  document for purposes of filing and that cites the provision of §
										RSA
				  96.40 of this title that establishes the
				  ground for refusal. The notice shall be sent to the Remitter, whether or not
				  the document or another writing contains a request that an acknowledgment copy
				  be sent to a financing party or another person. The notice shall be sent no
				  later than the second business day after the filing office receives the
