Title: Uniform Forms for Trustee Final Reports for Chapter 7, 12, and 13 Cases 
Abstract: The administration of all chapter 7, 12, and 13 bankruptcy estates is entrusted to private persons who are trustees under the supervision and oversight of the United States Trustee. In every case, a trustee must submit a final report, though these reports vary according to local district court rules. Congress has mandated that these final reports be nationally unified so that they facilitate the review of a trustee’s case administration and assist in maintaining the public’s trust in the bankruptcy system. Accordingly, this rule requires uniform forms for final reports by trustees in cases under chapters 7, 12, and 13 of title 11. These reports, once filed in each case, will be available to the public at the office of the clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court where a case is pending during the hours established by the bankruptcy court clerk.
