Note.

A person listed in (3) above who holds an interest through a nominee (instead of directly from the REMIC or the issuer of the CDO) should request the information from the nominee instead of from the REMIC or the issuer of the CDO. The request should be made of the nominee in the same manner as specified below for requesting information from the representative.

How To Request Information

Use the directory to find the representative of the REMIC or issuer of the CDO. You can request information from the representative or issuer by telephone or mail. If only an address is listed in the directory, you must request the information in writing. Your request must specify the calendar quarters and the classes of REMIC regular interests or CDOs for which you need the information.

The representative or issuer must provide the information to you by the later of:

  • The 30th day after the close of the calendar quarter for which you request the information, or

  • The 14th day after the receipt of your request.

The representative or issuer can provide the information to you by telephone, by written statement sent by first class mail, by printing the information in a publication that is generally read by and available to persons who may request the information, or by any other method agreed to by both parties. If the information is published, the representative or issuer must notify you by telephone or in writing of the publication in which the information will appear, the date of its appearance, and, if possible, the page number.
