A transcription initiation process that takes place at a RNA polymerase III gene promoter. Transfer RNAs (tRNA) genes, as well as some other non-coding RNAs, are transcribed by RNA polymerase III.
Comment:
Note that promoter clearance is represented as a separate step, not part_of either initiation or elongation.
