Department of Justice Accepting Comments for Proposed Rule

The Department of Justice is currently accepting comments on the rule entitled “Application Procedures and Criteria for Approval of Providers of a Personal Financial Management Instructional Course by United States Trustees.”

The current rule establishes mandatory prerequisites and minimum standards for applicants seeking to become an approved provider for personal finance management courses. Under the proposed new rule, the U.S. Trustees will approve applicants for inclusion on provider lists available to the public in one or more federal judicial districts. Inclusion on the provider lists will turn on whether the applicant has met all the requirements of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

All comments for the proposed rule should be submitted prior to January 13, 2009. For more information and to post a comment, please see the Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
