The file time for a UCC filing delivered by this method is no later than the next close of business following the time of delivery (even though the UCC filing may not yet have been accepted and may be subsequently refused). A UCC filing delivered after regular business hours or on a day DORES is not open for business, will have a filing time of the close of business on the next workday that DORES is open for business.
