Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 160 - SECRETARY OF STATE, CORPORATION DIVISION › Division 40 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE - ARTICLE 9 › Section 160-040-0101 - UCC Document Delivery

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
For the purposes of this section, "delivery" means receipt by
				the filing office. UCC records may be tendered for filing at the filing office
				as follows.
(1) Personal delivery by
			 Remitter, at the filing office's street address. The file time for a UCC record
			 delivered by this method is when delivery of the UCC record is taken by the
			 filing office (even though the UCC record may not yet have been accepted for
			 filing and subsequently may be rejected). This rule applies only to a Remitter
			 who tenders a UCC record to the filing office and waits an immediate
			 determination of whether or not the UCC record will be taken or not.
(2) Courier delivery, at the filing office's
			 street address. The file time for a UCC record delivered by this method is the
			 time the UCC record is first examined by a filing officer for processing within
			 the next close of business following the time of delivery, (even though the UCC
			 record may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be subsequently
			 rejected). This rule does not apply to a courier who is acting as an agent of
			 the Remitter and who tenders a UCC record to the filing office and awaits an
			 immediate determination of whether or not the UC record will be taken or not
			 under rule 101.1.
(3) Postal
			 service delivery, to the filing office's mailing address. The file time for a
			 UCC record delivered by this method is when delivery of the UCC record is taken
			 by the filing office (even though the UCC record may not yet have been accepted
			 for filing and may be subsequently rejected).
(4) Fax delivery, to the filing office's fax
			 filing telephone number. The file time for a UCC record delivered by this
			 method is when delivery of the UCC record is taken by the filing office (even
			 though the UCC record may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be
			 subsequently rejected).
(5) Direct
			 web page data entry. UCC records may be delivered by on-line data entry using
			 the filing office's website on the internet. Website data entry and payment
			 procedures are available as provided at www.filinginoregon.com [File Link Not
			 Available]. The file time for a UCC record delivered by the method is the time
			 the entry of all required elements of the UCC record in the proper format is
			 acknowledged by the on-line entry system.
(6) Means of communication. Regardless of the
			 method of delivery, information for recording in the UCC information management
			 system should be communicated to the filing only in the form of the English
			 alphabet A-Z, numbers 0-9, and symbols and characters found on a standard
			 QWERTY keyboard. A financing statement or amendment form that does not
			 designate separate fields for organization and individual names, and separate
			 fields for the surname, first personal name, additional name(s)/initial(s) and
			 suffixes for individual names is not an acceptable means of communication to
			 the filing office.
(7)
			 Transmitting utility and public-finance transactions. The only means to
			 indicate to the filing office than an initial financing statement is being
			 filed in connection with a public finance transaction, or that a financing
			 statement is being or has been filed against a debtor that is a transmitting
			 utility, in order to affect the filing office's determination of the lapse date
			 under rule 306.3 or rule 307, is to so indicate by checking the appropriate box
			 on a UCC1 Financing Statement filed with respect to the financing
			 statement.
