FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO

IN THE MATTER NOTICES MAILED BY

THE CLERK OR OTHER ENTITIES USING

OFFICIAL FUNDS OF THE UNITED STATES

COURTS ON BEHALF OF TRUSTEES ASSIGNED

TO ADMINISTER BANKRUPTCY CASES

GENERAL PROCEDURE ORDER NUMBER 1999-3

THIS MATTER arises sua sponte upon the need for the Court to revise its noticing policies and procedures to require that the burden and expense of mailing notices in bankruptcy cases and proceedings be borne by the litigants, including trustees, rather than the taxpayers, as a fiscally sound practice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 156 and in accordance with Revised Noticing Guidelines approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States in March 1999. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that effective January 1, 2000, the Clerk shall cease mailing, via the Bankruptcy Noticing Contractor (BNC) or otherwise, the following notices on behalf of trustees:

(1) Notice Pursuant to LBR 202 of Trustee's Intent to Abandon;

(2) Notice Pursuant to 6007(a) of Trustee's Intent to Abandon

(3) Notice Pursuant to FedRBP 9019 and LBR 202 of Trustee's Motion to Approve Compromise and Settlement;

Dated: September 20 , 1999.
