Title: Application Procedures and Criteria for Approval of Nonprofit Budget and Credit Counseling Agencies by U.S. Trustees
Abstract: This rule sets forth the application procedures to be used by United States Trustees for approval of nonprofit budget and credit counseling agencies under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA"). Under the BAPCPA, individual debtors are required to consult with approved agencies to receive a briefing on the opportunities for credit counseling and a budget analysis, within 180 days before filing for bankruptcy relief. The BAPCPA also sets forth procedures and standards for the United States Trustee to use in approving agencies for subsequent inclusion on a publicly available agency list and provider list in each Federal judicial district where they are deemed qualified to counsel individuals.
