Instructions and Examples for Form 2007-2
RTC transaction types consist of discrete year(s) RTC trades, Infinite-Year-Block (IYB) RTC trades, and combination trades
that include both discrete year(s) and IYB RTCs. The transaction types are defined by the negotiation terms and agreements.
For discrete year(s) only RTC trades, the trading parties identify the type of trade by selecting “No” when answering the
question “Is this an Infinite-Year-Block RTCs transaction?” on Form 2007-2. (See Examples 1A & B).
Infinite Year Block (IYB) RTC trades are categorized as IYB only RTCs (Example 2A), combined single year(s) and IYB
RTCs (Example 2B), and combined IYB RTCs negotiated as a single deal (Example 2C). For these trades, the parties
identify the type by selecting “Yes” to the question “Is this form reporting the trade of an Infinite-Year-Block of RTCs?”, report
the total value of transaction in the space provided, and enter “N/A” when reporting “Price ($/Pound)”. Example 2B
represents how to report a trade agreement where combined single year(s) and IYB RTCs were negotiated as a single deal
with a total price for the entire trade. Example 2C depicts how to report a trade agreement involving multiple IYBs where the
entire deal was negotiated at a total price.
For trades that included both discrete years and IYB RTCs where the value for the single years RTCs and IYB RTCs are
negotiated separately, two trade transaction registrations are required – one registration for the discrete years RTCs portion
of the agreement and a second registration for the IYB RTCs portion of the agreement. (See Example 3). Please contact
RECLAIM Administration at 909/396-3119 if you are uncertain if you should submit one or two trade registrations.
