Abstract: Rules 7a-15 through 7a-37 (17 CFR 260.7a-15 through 7a-37) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) set forth requirements governing applications for exemption filed pursuant to Section 304(c) or 304(d) of the TIA, applications for qualification of indentures filed pursuant to Section 307 of the TIA, statements of eligibility and qualification of trustees filed pursuant to Section 305, 307 or 310(a) of the TIA, applications for the stay of the trustee’s duty to resign filed pursuant to Section 310(b) of the TIA, and reports filed pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA. Rules 7a-15 through 7a-37 do not impose any information collection requirements. Rather, they set forth guidelines as to how to present information required by various TIA forms. The information required by the TIA forms is necessary to determine whether the requirements of the TIA are satisfied.
