Following notice of proposed amendments to the local bankruptcy rules in October and the comments received, further revisions are proposed. In addition, newly amended Rule 2002(h) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure now provides that the court may direct that notice of certain matters in chapter 7, 12, and 13 cases be limited to creditors who have filed proofs of claim. Certain local rule changes are proposed to implement that provision.
