Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Except as
						otherwise provided in this section, a submittal deposited with the Corporation
						Bureau for filing under this subpart shall conform to other applicable
						provisions of this subpart and be typewritten in characters not smaller than
						pica or printed in not less than 10-point type in black or blue-black ink on
						adequately leaded white paper, with top margin at least 2 inches wide on the
						first page and 1 inch wide on all other pages. The impression shall be on only
						one side of the paper unless the paper is of adequate quality to prevent the
						impression on one side from bleeding through to or being otherwise visible from
						the reverse side. Mechanically reproduced copies will be accepted as
						typewritten if they are of adequate clarity and contrast to reproduce
						properly.
(b) Paper stock used for
						submittals shall be cut or folded to letter size either 8 to 8-1/2 inches wide
						by 10-1/2 to 11 inches long, or to European or metric size A4 paper. A document
						prepared on legal size paper will be received only in cases where the person
						submitting the document has no control over the size of paper used; for
						example, requisite approvals of regulatory authorities, tax clearance
						certificates, and the like.
(c)
						Submission on forms approved by the Department is necessary only in cases where
						the provisions of this subpart expressly prohibit submission on other than
						Department furnished forms. In all other cases a submittal may be typed or
						printed by the applicant as set forth in subsections (a) and (b).
(d) If printed forms of security agreements
						are submitted for filing under 13 Pa.C.S. (relating to the Uniform Commercial
						Code), warning legends, trademarks and similar matters may be printed in
						colored inks if either the information is not legally relevant to the purpose
						of the filing or the colored printed matter is of adequate clarity and contrast
						to reproduce properly.
(e) The
						pages of submittals consisting of two or more leaves shall be sequentially
						numbered in arabic numerals, that is 2, 3, 4, and so forth, beginning with the
						second page. Appendices, annexes, and the like may be separately page numbered.
						It is requested that page numbering be in the form "Page 1 of 5 pages," "Page 2
						of 5 pages," and so forth. A document will not be received which is bound to
						preclude its ready separation into individual leaves for reproduction
						purposes.
(f) The requirement of
						subsection (a) that the top margin of a submittal be at least 2 inches wide on
						the first page does not apply to a submittal which was not originally intended
						for filing with the Department or which is submitted on a format promulgated
						under this title.
(g) See also
						§
												11.7 (relating to size, shape and
						physical characteristics of filed documents). Subsections (a)-(f) supersede 1
						Pa. Code §
												33.2 (relating to form) insofar as
						the section relates to submittals.
