(a) Procedure for Conditional Approval Under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3017.1.
A plan proponent in a small business case may seek conditional approval of a Disclosure Statement, subject to final approval after notice and hearing, by filing a motion with the Court contemporaneously with the filing of the proposed Plan of Reorganization. Such motion shall contain a Certificate of Service evidencing service upon the parties and shall be accompanied by a proposed order.

A plan proponent in a small business case may seek to waive the requirement of a Disclosure Statement because the proposed Plan of Reorganization itself provides adequate information. Such waiver may be sought by motion to be filed contemporaneously with the proposed Plan of Reorganization.
