30-9-407. Information from filing officer. (1) If the person filing any financing statement, termination statement, statement of assignment, or statement of release furnishes the filing officer a copy of the statement, the filing officer shall upon request note upon the copy the file number and date and hour of the filing of the original and deliver or send the copy to the person.
     (2) Upon request of any person, the filing officer shall issue a certificate showing whether there is on file on the date and hour stated in the certificate, any presently effective financing statement naming a particular debtor and any statement of assignment and, if there is, giving the date and hour of filing of each statement and the name and address of each secured party in the statement. For financing statements recorded on the system described in 30-9-403(9), the filing officer shall, upon request of any person, also furnish written information concerning the collateral described for any presently effective financing statement covering collateral described in 30-9-403(8). However, the information is not a part of the filing officer's certificate and may not constitute a complete description of the collateral covered by the financing statement. The uniform fee for a certificate and description of collateral must be set pursuant to 30-9-403. Upon request the filing officer shall furnish a copy of any filed financing statement or statement of assignment for a uniform fee of 50 cents per page.
     (3) A computer printout from the system described in 30-9-403(9) constitutes the certificate of the secretary of state as to whether there is on file, on the date and hour stated on the printout, a financing statement covering the collateral described in 30-9-403(8). The fee for requesting a printout from the secretary of state must cover the cost of the printout. If a certificate is made on a requestor's own computer using telephone dial-up access, a fee commensurate with costs must be charged.
     (4) The secretary of state shall ensure that the system described in 30-9-403(9) complies with the requirements for a central filing system as defined by 7 U.S.C. 1631 as that statute read on January 1, 1987. The secretary of state shall distribute portions of the master list to registered buyers at least once each month. The secretary of state may distribute portions of the master list more frequently if the secretary of state determines it is necessary to improve the flow of agricultural credit.
