9 CFR 205.203: Place of filing EFS.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 9—Animals and Animal Products
- CHAPTER II—AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE (FAIR TRADE PRACTICES PROGRAM), DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
- PART 205—CLEAR TITLE—PROTECTION FOR PURCHASERS OF FARM PRODUCTS
The place of filing an EFS is wherever State law requires, which need not be with the system operator so long as the system operator receives the information needed for the master list, including the information required in subsection (c)(4)(C). Note that the requirements in subsection (c)(4) for an EFS include the requirement that it be “filed with the Secretary of State,” but the definition in (c)(11) of “Secretary of State” includes ”designee of the State,” and the requirements in (c)(2) for a system refer in (A) to filing with the system operator of “effective financing statements or notice of such financing statements.” (emphasis added)
