Possible Bankruptcy Changes for the Referencers in the Audience

The Executive Office for U.S. Trustees recently published two proposed rules for public comment in the Federal Register. These proposed rules concern: 1) the procedures and criteria for the approval of credit counseling agencies; and 2) final reports filed by trustees in cases under chapters 7, 12 and 13. The procedures for submitting comments are described in the rules and the deadline for comments is April 1, 2008 for credit counseling and April 4, 2008 for the trustee final reports. The proposed rules and the final report forms may be viewed on the "Proposed Rulemaking" page of the Program's Internet site or on the Federal Register's web site. The citation for the credit counseling rule is 73 Fed. Reg. 6062-6073 (Feb. 1, 2008). The trustee final reports rule may be located at 73 Fed. Reg. 6447-6451 (Feb. 4, 2008). If you assist patrons in these areas please be aware of these possible changes. [BB]
