As Elliot said it's for changing the Registrant of a domain, not a Registrar transfer. With OpenSRS you can do this in real time using the RWI, but with NSI you need a notarized Registrant Name Change Agreement signed by both parties. Their usual processing time on this is six weeks or more, but for only $199 they'll guarantee to do it within two business days.
