Rule 9009-1. Forms—Local (LBF) & Official (OF).

(a) Availability. The LBFs and OFs (forms) are available on the court's website at https://www.orb.uscourts.gov/forms. In response to a written request at a clerk's office location, accompanied by a 9"x12" self-addressed stamped envelope bearing sufficient first-class postage to mail a two-pound package if the request is mailed, the clerk will provide, without cost, one master copy of all LBFs required for use. A request of the clerk's office must be accompanied by a written certification that the requestor does not have access to the internet.

(b) Applicable Version. When a form is filed, it must be on the most current version available at the time of filing. If a trustee is specifically identified in an LBF's preprinted text as the filer, the trustee must use that LBF and, if applicable, lodge any proposed order on the corresponding LBF.

(c) Preparation. If a form is prepared other than using the form available on the court's website, the document must be identical in both format and text to the most current version of the form available on the applicable court website when the form is filed. In completing a form, the filer may add language that changes the effect of the form text, but the addition must be conspicuous, such as by making it in bold or underlined typeface, by using highlighting or an alternate color, or by adding pages to the form. A form may not be altered except as permitted by this rule.

(d) Contents; Instructions; Certifications. A form must contain all information and attach all documents called for by the form. The filer must comply with all the form's instructions and ensure that all statements in a form's certifications are true.
