RULE 1007-1 LISTS, SCHEDULES AND STATEMENTS A. Lists, Schedules and Statements. The Lists, Schedules and Statements shall conform to the current Official Forms.

B. Ownership Statement. Any artificial entity, other than a governmental unit, that is a debtor shall file a statement that identifies all publicly held entities, other than a governmental unit, that directly or indirectly own ten percent (10%) or more of any class of the entity's equity interest, or states that there are no such entities to report. The ownership statement shall be made in a separate Document (Local Form 1007-1.B) to be filed concurrently with the petition. A supplemental ownership statement shall be filed promptly to reflect any change in the information that is required to be disclosed.

C. List of Creditors. The creditor mailing list ("Creditor Matrix") must comply with the Style Guide for Electronic Filing which is attached hereto as Appendix A-1 of the ECF Guidelines, as may be amended, and with the following formatting requirements:

1. Addresses. All addresses must be presented using only postal standard abbreviations as directed by the United States Postal Service in the publication "Postal Addressing Standards." The two-letter state identifier as prescribed by the United States Postal Service must be used. All addresses must not contain punctuation such as periods or commas; a single space should be used in lieu of punctuation. Zip codes must appear only on the same line as the city and state. Do not place the zip code on a separate line. A hyphen shall be used if a zip+4 code is used.

2. Print Styles. The Creditor Matrix must be in 12 pitch and in all upper-case letters. Do not use light, bold, expanded, condensed, script, italics or other types of sty1ization such as shading.

3. Single Column. The Creditor Matrix must be typed in a single column, left justified on a two and one half (2 ½) inch left margin with no less than one (1) inch top and bottom margins.

4. Spacing. Each name and address must consist of no more than five total lines, with at least three blank lines between each name and address block.

5. Character. Each line must be no more than forty (40) characters in length. No special characters shall be used, except a hyphen in the zip code. A single space shall be used in lieu of special characters.

6. Attention Lines and Account Numbers. The person or departments to whom a notice should be routed shall be listed by name on the first line of an address block. Do not include the word "attention" or the phrase "in care of," or any abbreviation thereof, as part of any line in an address block. Account numbers shall not be included on any line.

7. Duplicate Addresses. Do not list any entity twice at the same address, no matter how many accounts with, or claims against, a debtor an entity may have.

8. Stray Marks and Miscellaneous Information. Do not place page numbers on any page of the list. Do not print any type of header or title on any page of the list.

9. Verification. The mailing list and any amendment thereto must be verified, or accompanied by an unsworn declaration under penalty of perjury, as to its accuracy and completeness, as required by Bankruptcy Rule 1008. See Local Form 1007-1.C.

10. Filing and Uploading. The Creditor Matrix shall be filed in PDF format with the Petition. The Creditor Matrix must also be uploaded to the ECF System as a ".txt" Document with the petition. Pro se debtors who do not use the electronic Self-Representation (eSR) program to file a petition must use the matrix program provided on the Court's website and/or accessible at the public kiosks in the Clerk's Office to compile and submit their list of creditors. Failure to timely upload the Creditor Matrix may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why the bankruptcy case should not be dismissed for such failure and setting a twenty-four (24) hour deadline to upload the creditor matrix or the case will be dismissed. Instructions for preparing the Creditor Matrix as a text Document are available on the Court's website (www.okwb.uscourts.gov).

11. Amended Matrices. Any amendment to the Creditor Matrix shall be formatted as specified in this rule. An amended matrix shall include only the newly added or modified creditors. Filers must upload the new or modified creditor information to ECF. Pro se debtors must use the program provided on the Court's website to upload the new or modified creditor information.

D. Payment Advices. Within fourteen (14) days of filing a bankruptcy petition, each individual debtor shall file a "Pay Advice Cover Sheet" (Local Form 1007-1.D), together with copies of all payment advices or other evidence of payment (such as paycheck stubs, direct deposit statements, employer's statement of hours and earnings) received from the debtor's employer within sixty (60) days before the date the debtor filed his/her bankruptcy case. The debtor's social security number and any identifying account numbers shall be redacted from any pay advices. Self-employed debtors shall file employee income records in the form of income statements (i.e., monthly profit and loss statements). If a debtor has no income or has only social security or other retirement income or is a recipient of public benefits, the debtor shall submit Local Form 1007-1.D, stating such facts. Failure to timely file Local Form 1007-1.D with supporting documentation shall constitute cause for dismissal of a bankruptcy case without further notice or hearing.

E. Privacy. With the exception of the debtor's Statement of Social Security Number, the debtor and debtor's counsel shall redact the following personal data identifiers from tax returns or transcripts, bank statements, payment advices and all other Documents before filing: all but the last four digits of the social security number; all names of minor children (use minors' initials); all but the last four digits of any bank, savings or similar account numbers; and birth date except for the year. Filers shall use a redaction method that permanently removes information from the Document (i.e., Adobe Acrobat's Redact Tool). The use of text boxes, highlights, or "commenting" tools do not permanently remove information from Documents; therefore, these methods do not meet the requirement that private information be redacted. The responsibility for redacting personal data identifiers rests solely with the debtor and debtor's counsel. The Clerk will not review Documents for compliance with this rule, seal Documents containing personal data identifiers without a Court order, or redact such information from Documents, whether filed electronically or on paper.

F. Statement of Social Security Number. An individual debtor who is not represented by an attorney should submit, not file, a Statement of Social Security Number on the appropriate Official Form to the Clerk at the time of filing the petition. When a case is filed electronically, the ECF System will allow for the manual input of the full social security number; however, the attorney of record shall file the Statement of Social Security Number in the ECF System as a separate Document from the petition and file it concurrently with the petition.

G. Taxing Authorities. Copies of the list of addresses of taxing authorities shall be made available by the Clerk upon request and are available on the Court's website (http://www.okwb.uscourts.gov).

H. Notice to Trustee. Any statement of intention respecting surrender or retention of property made under the provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 521(a)(2)(A) must be served on the trustee and all creditors affected, with a certificate or affidavit of service complying with Local Rule 9007-1.
