(a) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The debtor shall file concurrently with the petition a Master Mailing List of the names, mailing addresses and zip codes of all creditors listed on Schedules D, E, and F. The Master Mailing List shall be prepared in accordance with instructions and specifications promulgated by the clerk.

See also Local Bankruptcy Rule 2002-2: NOTICE TO UNITED STATES OR FEDERAL AGENCIES.

(b) PARTNERSHIPS AND CORPORATIONS

If the debtor is a partnership or corporation, the Master Mailing List also shall include the names and addresses of all general partners or senior corporate officers. Either as part of the Master Mailing List or as a separate “Equity Holders Mailing List,” there also shall be provided a listing of all limited partners, shareholders, or other equity holders. The Equity Holders Mailing List shall comply with the format requirements of paragraph (a) above.

(c) REQUIRED ELECTRONIC FORMAT FOR CASES WITH MORE THAN 100 CREDITORS OR EQUITY HOLDERS

Unless otherwise ordered, for all cases with more than 100 entities that hold either claims or interests, the debtor, or such other person as the court may order, shall provide the clerk with the Master Mailing List, in a court-approved electronic format. The clerk shall provide to the public regularly updated notices of the technical requirements for compliance with this Rule on the court’s web site. Failure to submit the required information in a timely manner may subject the case to dismissal. A “hard copy” printed version of the Master Mailing List, also shall be filed according to instructions and requirements promulgated by the clerk. Filing of a hard copy of the Master Mailing List is not required for petitions filed via the court’s electronic filing system.

See also Local Bankruptcy Rule 1002-1(g)(2): FORM OF PAPERS FILED WITH COURT, PETITIONS, Incomplete Petitions.

(d) DEBTOR’S OBLIGATION TO ASSURE ACCURACY

It shall be the responsibility of the debtor or such other person as the court may order to ensure that the Master Mailing List, Equity Holders’ Mailing List, and the electronic file containing the Master Mailing List and Equity Holder’s Mailing List are complete and correct. The Master Mailing List shall be accompanied by a declaration by the debtor or debtor’s counsel attesting to the completeness and correctness of the list. If the Master Mailing List is submitted in a court-approved electronic format and the electronic file is prepared by someone other than the debtor or debtor’s counsel, a declaration shall also be submitted by the preparer to attest to the accuracy of the electronic file as it relates to the information provided by the debtor or debtor’s counsel. The clerk’s office shall not be required to compare the names and addresses shown on the Master Mailing List with those on the petition. The clerk’s office may use either the hard copies of the mailing lists or information submitted in electronic format for noticing creditors.

(e) WHO SHALL BE LISTED

All parties required to be included in the schedules shall also be listed on the Master Mailing List in order to receive official notice of the bankruptcy.
