This investigation used newly opened public authorities; no earlier report supplied a legal premise.\n\n**The selected statutes establish a district-court ADR program framework, with separate provisions for arbitration and preservation of specified earlier arbitration programs. They do not themselves establish that an actual settlement exists, that a particular litigant must agree to settlement terms, or that a debt-specific settlement outcome is available.** The distinction between the current arbitration provisions and the earlier programs preserved by §654(d) is consequential: a universal statement that every court-annexed arbitration requires consent, follows the same monetary limit, or has identical trial-related cost consequences would omit that preservation provision. **C004–C019, C054–C062, C092–C110.** [uscode.house.gov+3](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-121/t28/s651/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n**Currentness is qualified.** The successfully opened official Code sections display laws in effect through **Public Law 119-121, October 9, 2026**.

The examined Title 28 segment of the official 2026 classification table does not list amendments to the selected ADR sections or the examined statutory cross-references. Attempts to retrieve the selected sections through the newer version paths failed.

That wording does not by itself classify every bankruptcy matter as an adversary proceeding. Civil Rule 81(a)(2) separately limits application of Civil Rules in bankruptcy to the extent provided by Bankruptcy Rules. | S001 §651(b); S004 §654(a); S025 Rule 81(a)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C007** | Chapter 44 expressly leaves **Title 9 unaffected**. Consequently, this pass does not replace the FAA’s separate predicates with Chapter 44 rules, or establish that a private clause or administrative ADR process is governed by this chapter. | S001 §651(e); definition in §651(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C008** | Arbitration referral concerns an action **pending before the district court**. ADR authorization does not establish that an unidentified action has subject-matter jurisdiction. Civil Rule 82 states that the Civil Rules do not extend or limit district-court jurisdiction or venue. | S004 §654(a); S025 Rule 82, complete body. Underlying jurisdictional merits held. |\n| **R060-P1-C009** | Each district court must authorize ADR by local rule adopted under §2071(a), and devise and implement its own program by such a rule. Arbitration authorization is expressly limited to §654. These are statutory commands to courts, not proof of any particular local rule. | S001 §651(b). |\n| **R060-P1-C010** | A court with an ADR program in place **on October 30, 1998**, the 1998 Act’s enactment date, must examine its effectiveness and adopt improvements consistent with the chapter’s provisions and purposes. | S001 §651(c); S019 approval and §3. |\n| **R060-P1-C011** | Each district court must designate an ADR-knowledgeable employee or judicial officer to implement, administer, oversee, and evaluate its program. That person **may also** recruit, screen, and train attorneys as neutrals/arbitrators; the additional role is permissive. | S001 §651(d). |\n| **R060-P1-C012** | The Federal Judicial Center and Administrative Office are authorized to assist establishment and improvement of programs through identification of practices and appropriate assistance. This does not prove funding, neutral availability, or an individual entitlement. | S001 §651(f). |\n| **R060-P1-C013** | Subject to §652(b) and (c), district courts must adopt a local rule requiring litigants in civil cases to **consider** ADR at an appropriate litigation stage. Consideration is not the same act as consenting to arbitration or accepting settlement terms. | S002 §652(a), first sentence. [uscode.house.gov](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-121/t28/s652/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **R060-P1-C014** | Section 652(a) requires provision of **at least one** ADR process, subject to the section’s qualifications. It does not grant a choice of every listed process to every litigant. | S002 §652(a), second sentence; §652(b)–(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C015** | Under §652(a)’s stated compulsory-use provision, a court electing to require ADR may do so only for **mediation, early neutral evaluation, and arbitration if the parties consent**. Minitrial’s appearance in the availability list does not put it in that compulsory-use list. The §654(d) preservation issue must also be retained. | S002 §652(a), final sentence; S004 §654(d). |\n| **R060-P1-C016** | A court may exempt specific cases or categories when ADR would be inappropriate. In defining exemptions it must consult bar members, including the district’s United States Attorney. No particular exemption is established here. | S002 §652(b). |\n| **R060-P1-C017** | Section 652 preserves the Attorney General’s federal litigation authority, federal agencies’ authorized litigation authority, and delegations by the Attorney General. Program provisions do not themselves establish a generic representative’s authority to settle. | S002 §652(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C018** | **Until** Chapter 131 rules provide for confidentiality of these ADR processes, each district court must provide confidentiality and prohibit disclosure of confidential dispute-resolution communications by §2071(a) local rule. The statute does not itself supply a complete privilege, waiver, exception, or public-access code. | S002 §652(d); S015–S017. Whether all relevant superseding national provisions exist was not exhaustively authenticated. |\n| **R060-P1-C019** | The complete selected chapter contains no command that parties actually agree on settlement terms, no guaranteed negotiated outcome, and no debt-specific settlement entitlement. This is a **bounded text conclusion**, not a determination of every power or remedy under other law. | S001–S008 in full; S019 §2 findings are statements of potential benefits, not individual outcome guarantees. |\n\n### 2.2 Local rules, judicial directives, and national-rule authority\n\n| Claim ID | Atomic finding and material conditions | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **R060-P1-C020** | Rules under §2071 must be consistent with Acts of Congress and national rules under §2072; district courts may prescribe rules only under §2071. The material 1988 amendments were enacted in S020 §403(a)(1), with Title IV effective December 1, 1988. | S010 §2071(a), (f); S020 §§403(a)(1), 407. |\n| **R060-P1-C021** | Non-Supreme-Court rules ordinarily require appropriate public notice and opportunity to comment, with effectiveness and pending-proceeding effect set by the prescribing court. An immediate-need determination permits adoption first, but notice/comment must follow promptly. | S010 §2071(b), (e), read together. |\n| **R060-P1-C022** | Section 2071 provides for judicial-council or Judicial Conference modification/abrogation as specified, distribution of rules to the relevant bodies, and public availability. S020 §406 preserves previously lawful rules in force at the effective date until changed under the amended law. | S010 §2071(c)–(d); S020 §406. |\n| **R060-P1-C023** | Civil Rule 83(a)(1) requires public notice/comment and action by a majority of district judges. Local rules must be consistent with, but not duplicate, federal statutes and rules under §§2072/2075; conform to applicable uniform numbering; and be distributed and publicly available. Their stated effectiveness and continued force are subject to amendment/abrogation. | S025 Rule 83(a)(1), complete paragraph. |\n| **R060-P1-C024** | A local requirement of **form** may not be enforced so that a party loses a right because of a **nonwillful** failure to comply. This is not a general exemption from substantive conditions or all deadlines. | S025 Rule 83(a)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C025** | When no controlling law governs, a judge may regulate practice consistently with federal law, national rules, and local rules. A sanction or disadvantage for violating a requirement outside those sources requires **actual notice in the particular case**. | S025 Rule 83(b). [uscourts.gov](https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/document/federal-rules-of-civil-procedure.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **R060-P1-C026** | Section 2072 authorizes national practice, procedure, and evidence rules for district courts—including proceedings before magistrate judges—and courts of appeals. Such rules may not change substantive rights; the section also addresses conflicting laws and definition of finality for appeal. No conflict or appeal result is adjudicated here. | S015 §2072(a)–(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C027** | Section 2073 supplies committee procedures, ordinarily public meetings and minutes, a specified public-interest closure procedure, sufficient meeting notice, and accompanying proposed text/explanatory note/report. Failure to comply with §2073 does **not** itself invalidate a rule under §§2072 or 2075. | S016 §2073(a)–(e). |\n| **R060-P1-C028** | Under §2074, transmission is due no later than May 1 of the intended effective year; effectiveness is no earlier than December 1 that year unless law provides otherwise. Pending-proceeding application has feasibility/injustice protection. A rule creating, abolishing, or modifying evidentiary privilege needs an Act of Congress. Section 2075 separately provides bankruptcy rulemaking and analogous transmission/effectiveness timing, without authorizing modification of substantive rights. | S017 §2074(a)–(b); S018 complete operative paragraphs. |\n| **R060-P1-C029** | Rule 86 distinguishes later-commenced actions from pending proceedings and preserves exceptions specified by the Supreme Court or necessary to avoid infeasibility/injustice. Its 2007 paragraph preserves priority-in-time analysis for the restyling changes. S026 independently establishes the stated December 1, 2023 effectiveness and pending-proceeding qualification for its amendments. | S025 Rule 86(a)–(b); S026 adoption order ¶2. |\n\nThese authorities identify how rules may be made and applied. They do not prove the adoption, contents, validity, notice, or application of any actual district rule or judicial directive. **C009, C020–C029.** [uscode.house.gov+4](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-121/t28/s2071/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n### 2.3 Neutrals, arbitrators, disqualification, and compensation\n\n| Claim ID | Atomic finding and material conditions | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **R060-P1-C030** | A district court authorizing ADR must adopt appropriate processes to make neutrals available for each offered category and promulgate its own panel-selection procedures and criteria. This does not prove an actual roster, selection, or available neutral. | S003 §653(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C031** | Section 653(b) says a neutral **should** be qualified and trained for the appropriate process. It permits trained magistrate judges, private professional neutrals, and other trained persons among the possible sources. No national training duration or credential is specified there. | S003 §653(b), first two sentences. |\n| **R060-P1-C032** | Until Chapter 131 disqualification rules are adopted, courts must issue local disqualification rules, including **where appropriate** §455, other applicable law, and professional-responsibility standards. That qualified reference for neutrals differs from §655(b)’s mandatory arbitrator provision. | S003 §653(b), final sentence; S005 §655(b)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C033** | Courts authorizing arbitration must establish certification standards and certify arbitrators consistently with the standards and chapter. Standards must require the §453 oath/affirmation and application of §455 disqualification rules. | S005 §655(b)(1)–(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C034** | Section 453 prescribes an oath/affirmation before performance of office duties, addressing impartial discharge of duties under the Constitution and laws and equal justice. Reading it does not establish that any arbitrator took it. | S012 complete body, incorporated by S005 §655(b)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C035** | Section 455(a) requires disqualification when impartiality **might reasonably be questioned**; it is separate from the listed grounds in (b). | S013 §455(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C036** | Personal bias/prejudice concerning a party or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts is a listed disqualification ground. | S013 §455(b)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C037** | The private-practice ground covers personal service as lawyer in the matter, an associated lawyer’s service during the association, and the identified judge/lawyer having been a material witness. | S013 §455(b)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C038** | The government-employment ground covers participation in that capacity as counsel, adviser, or material witness, or expression of an opinion on the particular case’s merits. | S013 §455(b)(3). |\n| **R060-P1-C039** | Known financial interests of the decision-maker individually/as fiduciary, spouse, or minor child residing in the household—in the subject matter or a party—and other interests substantially affected by the outcome trigger the specified ground, subject to the statutory definitions and (f). | S013 §455(b)(4), (d), (f). |\n| **R060-P1-C040** | The relationship ground extends to the decision-maker, spouse, persons within the **third degree** of relationship to either, and spouses of those persons, if they are a party or its officer/director/trustee, act as lawyer, have the specified known substantially affected interest, or are known likely material witnesses. | S013 §455(b)(5)(i)–(iv). |\n| **R060-P1-C041** | Section 455(c) says the judge should know personal/fiduciary financial interests and make reasonable efforts concerning the spouse’s and resident minor children’s personal financial interests. | S013 §455(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C042** | “Proceeding” includes pretrial, trial, appellate review, and other litigation stages. Relationship degree uses the **civil-law system**. “Fiduciary” includes executor, administrator, trustee, and guardian relationships. | S013 §455(d)(1)–(3). |\n| **R060-P1-C043** | Financial interest includes legal/equitable ownership **however small** or active participation in a party’s affairs. Exceptions: investment-fund securities absent participation in fund management; specified nonprofit-type offices do not create interests in securities held by the organization; mutual-policyholder/depositor/similar interests count only if their value could be substantially affected; government securities count only if their value could be substantially affected. | S013 §455(d)(4)(i)–(iv), complete exceptions. |\n| **R060-P1-C044** | Parties cannot waive a ground listed in §455(b). A ground arising **only** under (a) may be waived after full on-record disclosure of the basis. Consent to ADR is not itself that disclosure or waiver. | S013 §455(e). |\n| **R060-P1-C045** | Section 455(f)’s divestiture exception requires assignment of the matter, substantial judicial time, later appearance/discovery of the specified financial interest **in a party**, an interest other than one substantially affected by the outcome, and divestiture by the holder. It is not a general cure for every conflict. | S013 §455(f); enacted addition S020 §1007. |\n| **R060-P1-C046** | S013’s statutory note preserves a 1974 application restriction for trials of proceedings commenced before the Act and appellate review fully submitted before it. The opened original’s §3 was partly garbled; its complete original wording is not certified here. No actual historical proceeding is classified. | S013 1974 effective-date note; S024 §3, partial original authentication. |\n| **R060-P1-C047** | An arbitrator receiving an action under §654 may conduct hearings, administer oaths/affirmations, and make awards **within the judicial district of the referring district court**. This does not prove a referral or authorize every conceivable hearing arrangement. | S005 §655(a)(1)–(3). |\n| **R060-P1-C048** | Chapter 44 arbitrators perform quasi-judicial functions and receive the immunities/protections the law accords to that capacity. The statute does not define every immunity boundary or extend this sentence indiscriminately to every mediator or private provider. | S005 §655(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C049** | The district court must establish compensation, **if any**, for each arbitrator/neutral’s services in each case, subject to Judicial Conference-approved regulations. This supplies neither a national fee nor a proven payer or fee obligation. | S008 §658(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C050** | A court **may** reimburse arbitrators and other neutrals for **actual transportation expenses necessarily incurred** performing chapter duties, under AO Director regulations. No mileage rate, automatic reimbursement, or other expense entitlement is established. | S008 §658(b). |\n| **R060-P1-C051** | The 1999 Conference publication records approval of a regulation requiring a local compensation rule or policy, leaving pro bono/fee choice to the court. Its discouragement of court-funded nonstaff neutrals is expressly conditional on funding not being provided under the Act. It is not a finding about present appropriations. | S027, printed 53/PDF 14, regulation paragraph. |\n| **R060-P1-C052** | The same publication expressly labels two principles **nonmandatory**: disclose rates/limits, and require disclosure of fee/expense arrangements, with inability-to-afford relief expressed as “should.” Commentary discusses minimizing burden and defining any pro bono commitment. This does not prove a current enforceable individual waiver. | S027, printed 53–54/PDF 14–15, complete principles/commentary. |\n| **R060-P1-C053** | A current complete Guide provision, later compensation amendments, and current AO transportation regulations were not authenticated. Historical rates in search excerpts were not adopted. Present regulatory amounts, waivers, and reimbursement mechanics remain unresolved. | Research limit for S008 and S027; failure/read log L008. |\n\nThe complete §455 body supplies both grounds and limits. An impartiality concern, a statutory ground, a permissible waiver, and a qualifying divestiture are different legal questions; no actual one was determined.

Consent is a condition, not a command to order referral. | S004 §654(a), opening clause. |\n| **R060-P1-C055** | The current referral provision excludes an action based on an alleged violation of a right secured by the United States Constitution. | S004 §654(a)(1), subject to the opening qualifications, including (d). |\n| **R060-P1-C056** | It also excludes an action whose jurisdiction rests **in whole or in part** on §1343. This cannot be reduced to an amount-only test. | S004 §654(a)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C057** | Section 1343(a) covers the specified §1985-conspiracy damage actions, knowing failures to prevent specified wrongs despite power to prevent, deprivations under color of state law of constitutional/equal-rights protections, and civil-rights statutory damages/equitable/other relief. Subsection (b) supplies the District of Columbia rules. The 1979 amendments apply to qualifying deprivations occurring **after December 29, 1979**. Classification under §1985 or other merits law is not completed. | S011 §1343(a)(1)–(4), (b); S036 §§2–3. |\n| **R060-P1-C058** | Section 654(a)(3) excludes referral where the relief sought consists of money damages **greater than $150,000**. Equality is not excluded by this monetary clause alone. The amount is not a jurisdictional minimum, debt validation, asset valuation, or affordability test. | S004 §654(a)(3). |\n| **R060-P1-C059** | The court **may presume** damages do not exceed $150,000 unless counsel certifies that they exceed it. The presumption is permissive and does not establish the true amount or all referral predicates. Handling of an unrepresented situation is not resolved by inventing a substitute certification rule. | S004 §654(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C060** | The current monetary clause does not contain the earlier compulsory-referral phrase excluding interest and costs. Nor does current §654(a) use the earlier route’s “only” money-damages formulation. Aggregation, mixed relief, and disputed valuation are not resolved by importing the earlier wording. | S004 §654(a)(3), contrasted with S020 former §652(a)(1)(B). |\n| **R060-P1-C061** | Until applicable Chapter 131 rules are adopted, local procedures must ensure freely and knowingly obtained consent and no prejudice to a party or attorney for refusing arbitration. The statute does not prescribe a universal consent form, signature block, or record here. | S004 §654(b)(1)–(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C062** | Section 654(d) preserves programs conducting arbitration pursuant to the referenced 1988 Title IX as amended by the specified 1997 §1. Its text contains the short locator **“section … title IX”**; OLRC flags the stray word. The referenced instruments were read, but the clause is not converted into proof that any actual program qualifies. | S004 §654(d); S019 §6; S020 Title IX; S023 §1. |\n| **R060-P1-C063** | Civil Rule 45 applies to attendance and documentary-evidence subpoenas **at arbitration hearings under this chapter**. This is not a general subpoena authorization for every informal ADR session. | S006 §656. |\n| **R060-P1-C064** | Rule 45(a) requires the specified court/action, command, and protection information. Issuance is from the court where the action is pending; issuance/signing authority is assigned to the clerk and authorized attorneys as stated. An arbitrator’s hearing powers alone are not an express grant of every Rule 45 issuance function. | S025 Rule 45(a)(1)–(3); S005 §655(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C065** | A subpoena commanding pretrial production/inspection requires notice and a copy to **each party before service** on the commanded person. The deposition recording-method provision is not a statutory requirement to record every arbitration hearing. | S025 Rule 45(a)(4), (a)(1)(B). |\n| **R060-P1-C066** | Subpoena service may be by a nonparty **at least 18**; attendance service ordinarily includes tender of one day’s attendance fees and legally allowed mileage, with the stated United States/officer/agency exception. Domestic service is nationwide; foreign service is referred to §1783. When proof is necessary, the certified statement must contain the specified service information. No fee amount or foreign-service result is established. | S025 Rule 45(b)(1)–(4), complete provision. |\n| **R060-P1-C067** | Attendance may be commanded within **100 miles** of residence, employment, or regular in-person business; alternatively within the state under the party/party-officer condition or the distinct **trial** attendance/no-substantial-expense condition. Production has its own 100-mile rule; premises inspection is at the premises. Nationwide service is not unlimited travel authority. | S025 Rule 45(c)(1)–(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C068** | The issuer/server must reasonably avoid undue burden or expense. The compliance court must enforce that duty and impose an appropriate sanction for violation, potentially including lost earnings and reasonable attorney fees. This is not a national ADR participation charge. | S025 Rule 45(d)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C069** | Production alone does not require personal appearance unless appearance is also commanded. Written objections must be served **before the earlier of the compliance time or 14 days after service**. Following objection, compulsion requires the prescribed court order, with protection of a nonparty/nonofficer from significant compliance expense. | S025 Rule 45(d)(2)(A)–(B). |\n| **R060-P1-C070** | On timely motion, the compliance court must quash or modify for insufficient reasonable compliance time, prohibited geographic reach, privileged/protected material absent exception or waiver, or undue burden. | S025 Rule 45(d)(3)(A)(i)–(iv). |\n| **R060-P1-C071** | Trade-secret/confidential commercial information and specified unretained-expert material permit quashing/modification. An alternative conditional order requires both otherwise unmet substantial need without undue hardship and reasonable compensation to the subpoenaed person. | S025 Rule 45(d)(3)(B)–(C), both predicates. |\n| **R060-P1-C072** | Rule 45(e)(1) governs organization and form of production, avoids duplicate ESI forms, and conditions inaccessible-ESI discovery on burden/cost showings, good cause, Rule 26(b)(2)(C) limits, and possible conditions. Rule 26(b)(1)–(2) supplies nonprivilege, relevance, proportionality, duplication, alternative-source, and opportunity limits. These do not validate an actual demand. | S025 Rules 45(e)(1), 26(b)(1)–(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C073** | A withheld privilege/protection claim must be express and described without revealing protected information. After notification of a claim over produced material, return/sequestration/destruction, nonuse/nondisclosure, retrieval efforts, possible sealed presentation, and preservation obligations apply as stated. This is not proof that an ADR communication is privileged. | S025 Rule 45(e)(2)(A)–(B). |\n| **R060-P1-C074** | A subpoena motion may be transferred from a nonissuing compliance court to the issuing court with the subject’s consent **or** exceptional circumstances; the rule separately addresses attorney appearance and enforcement transfer. | S025 Rule 45(f), complete paragraph. |\n| **R060-P1-C075** | Rule 45(g) permits contempt for a served person’s failure, without adequate excuse, to obey a subpoena or related order, by the specified compliance/issuing court. No actual service, breach, contempt, or sanction is established. | S025 Rule 45(g). |\n| **R060-P1-C076** | Current §§651–658 do not state a fixed general hearing-start deadline, a universal advance arbitration-hearing notice interval, or a universal hearing-transcript requirement. The earlier statute did contain hearing-start timing, C095. Local and other applicable procedure remains separate. | Complete S001–S008; S020 former §653(b); S025 Rule 45’s distinct deposition provision. |\n| **R060-P1-C077** | An award under the chapter, with proof of service on the other party **by the prevailing party or plaintiff**, must be filed promptly after the hearing concludes with the referring district court’s clerk. The sentence identifies the service actor but does not expressly assign the filing task to one specified actor. | S007 §657(a), first sentence. |\n| **R060-P1-C078** | Read with §657(c), the award is to be entered as judgment after the trial-demand period expires without a qualifying demand. Award making, service, filing, expiration, and judgment entry are distinct. Filing an award is not proof judgment has been entered. | S007 §657(a), (c)(1)–(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C079** | The **award-based judgment so entered** has ordinary civil-judgment force/effect and applicable law, with the express restriction on review in another court by appeal or otherwise. The sentence does not supply a complete issuing-court relief, collateral-review, constitutional, trial-judgment appeal, or collection dossier. | S007 §657(a), second paragraph. |\n| **R060-P1-C080** | The local rule required by §657(b) must keep award contents from a judge who might be assigned to the case until final judgment or other termination. The heading “Sealing” does not turn this specified restriction into universal public sealing or a complete confidentiality privilege. | S007 §657(b). |\n| **R060-P1-C081** | Any party may file a **written** trial-de-novo demand in the district court **within 30 days after the award is filed under §657(a)**. The stated trigger is filing—not hearing completion, award announcement, receipt, or service alone. The effect of a deficient filing/service record is unresolved. | S007 §657(c)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C082** | Upon the demand, the action must return to the court docket and be treated for all purposes as if it had not been referred to arbitration. That statutory restoration is distinct from appellate review of an award-based judgment. | S007 §657(c)(2). |\n| **R060-P1-C083** | At trial de novo, evidence of the arbitration’s existence, award nature/amount, or conduct is excluded **unless** it would otherwise be admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence **or** the parties otherwise stipulated. Both exceptions must be retained; the complete Evidence Rules were not investigated. | S007 §657(c)(3)(A)–(B). |\n| **R060-P1-C084** | Where Civil Rule 5 governs, written demands/notices are among papers ordinarily served on every party. The rule has exceptions for default for failure to appear, special property-seizure circumstances, and specified numerous-defendant orders; represented-party service ordinarily goes to counsel. Its enumerated methods have distinct consent, completion, and failed-delivery conditions. | S025 Rule 5(a)–(c), complete provisions. This does not replace §657(a)’s express award-service-proof requirement. |\n| **R060-P1-C085** | Rule 5(d) separately regulates filing, certificates, discovery nonfiling, nonelectronic delivery, represented/unrepresented electronic filing, electronic signatures, and clerk acceptance. Filing through the electronic system has a certificate exception; other methods have the stated certificate requirements. General “reasonable time” provisions do not erase §657(c)(1)’s specific filing period. | S025 Rule 5(d)(1)–(4). |\n| **R060-P1-C086** | Where Rule 6(a) governs a statutory period lacking a counting method: exclude the triggering day, count intermediate weekends/holidays, include the last day subject to weekend/holiday continuation, apply the stated clerk-inaccessibility protection, and use the prescribed filing-day endpoint unless another time controls. The holiday definition includes the listed statutory holidays, presidential/congressional declarations, and the specified state-holiday rule for after-event periods. | S025 Rule 6(a)(1), (3)–(6). No calendar calculated. |\n| **R060-P1-C087** | Rule 6(b) states good-cause extension standards: action/request before expiry, or a post-expiry motion with excusable neglect, and enumerated restrictions. This pass does **not** resolve judicial interpretations concerning enlargement or relief from §657(c)(1)’s statutory period. | S025 Rule 6(b); S007 §657(c)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C088** | Rule 6(d)’s additional three days concerns an act measured **after service** by specified Rule 5 methods—mail, leaving with the clerk, or other consented means. It does not turn §657(c)(1)’s award-**filing** trigger into an automatic 33-day period. | S025 Rules 6(d), 5(b)(2)(C), (D), (F); S007 §657(c)(1). |\n| **R060-P1-C089** | Rule 6(c)’s general written-motion/hearing-notice and affidavit periods have ex parte, different-rule, court-order, and specified affidavit qualifications. They are not, merely because a proceeding is called a hearing, a universal arbitration-hearing notice period. | S025 Rule 6(c)(1)–(2), complete provision. |\n| **R060-P1-C090** | Rule 87 requires a qualifying Judicial Conference emergency declaration identifying affected courts and a limited period; its emergency extension provision concerns listed posttrial motions. It does not expressly identify a §657 trial-de-novo demand. No actual emergency declaration or resulting extension is established. | S025 Rule 87(a)–(c); S026 complete Rule 87 attachment. |\n| **R060-P1-C091** | Current §657 contains no express general cost penalty for demanding trial de novo. That textual absence does not establish cost-free litigation or eliminate the possible relevance of earlier preserved-program provisions or other unexamined costs law. | Complete S007; S004 §654(d); C097–C100 below. |\n\nThe principal arbitration predicates, judgment consequences, and demand period are in the statute itself. The national-rule discussion preserves the conditions of expressly incorporated or narrowly necessary procedure without supplying an actual filing instruction. [uscode.house.gov+8](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-121/t28/s654/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n### 2.5 Earlier arbitration framework and enactment transitions\n\nEvery proposition in this table about a **former Code section** is historical. Present application requires the §654(d) preservation predicate and resolution of any relevant interaction with the 1998 Act. The table does not classify a real program.\n\n| Claim ID | Atomic historical or transition finding | Exact authority and present limit |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **R060-P1-C092** | Former §651 limited authorization to the former §658 court categories. The enumerated category could use former §652(a); the **ten additional Judicial Conference-approved districts** could use only the consent route. The compulsory route required **only money damages**, no more than **$100,000 or a lower court-set amount**, excluding interest and costs; its statutory presumption used $100,000 unless counsel certified more. | S020 §901(a), former §§651(a), 652(a)(1)(B), (a)(2), 658. Historical; no actual court-category lookup. |\n| **R060-P1-C093** | Former §652(a)(1)(A) separately allowed consent referral of civil actions, including bankruptcy adversary proceedings. Former §652(b)’s constitutional-right and §1343 restrictions were restrictions on referral **without consent** under (a)(1)(B), unlike the wording of current §654(a)’s exclusions. | S020 former §652(a)–(b); current comparison S004. |\n| **R060-P1-C094** | Former §652(c) required local procedures for exemption, on the court’s own initiative or party motion, when arbitration objectives would not be realized because of complex/novel legal issues, legal issues predominating over factual issues, or other good cause. Former (d) required freely/knowingly obtained consent and no prejudice for refusal. | S020 former §652(c)–(d). |\n| **R060-P1-C095** | Former §653(b) required a court-specified hearing start no later than **180 days after answer filing**, but, absent consent, not until **30 days after disposition** of the listed motions filed within a court-specified period. The listed motions concern dismissal, judgment on pleadings, necessary-party joinder, and summary judgment. **Both periods could be modified for good cause.** | S020 former §653(b), complete paragraph. Not a current universal hearing deadline. |\n| **R060-P1-C096** | Former §§654–655 used the award/service-proof filing and 30-day written-demand structure, but also expressly preserved otherwise-existing jury rights and a calendar position no later than otherwise available. Former award nondisclosure included exceptions concerning cost/fee determinations and the statutory report; former §654(c) allowed a local rule including §1920 costs in an award. | S020 former §654(a)–(c), §655(a)–(c). Do not substitute these former qualifications silently into current §657. |\n| **R060-P1-C097** | Former §655(d) allowed a local rule taxing paid arbitrator fees against a trial-demanding party and an advance deposit equal to those fees, with the stated United States/agency/officer and in-forma-pauperis deposit exceptions. Fees could not be taxed, and the deposit had to be returned, if the demanding party obtained a more favorable final judgment **or** the demand was for good cause. Retained amounts went to Treasury. A rule under (d) had to preserve (d)(4)’s limitation on other penalties. | S020 former §655(d)(1)–(4), all conditions. Separate (e) remains C098; no actual rule, deposit, or assessment established. |\n| **R060-P1-C098** | Former §655(e), for arbitration conducted **by consent**, separately permitted §1920 costs and reasonable attorney fees against the trial-demanding party only if that party failed to obtain a judgment, excluding interest/costs, **substantially more favorable** than the award **and** the court found bad faith in seeking trial de novo. No percentage definition of “substantially” is supplied. | S020 former §655(e)(1)–(2). Both predicates required. |\n| **R060-P1-C099** | Current §1920 lists clerk/marshal fees; necessary printed/electronic transcripts; printing/witness fees; necessary exemplification/copies; §1923 docket fees; and specified court-appointed expert/interpreter services. A bill of costs is included in judgment/decree upon allowance. This is not a complete fee-shifting entitlement or a conclusion about temporal incorporation into an earlier program. | S014 complete body; references in S020 former §§654(c), 655(e). |\n| **R060-P1-C100** | Former §656 required certification, oath, and §455 disqualification, and separately treated arbitrators as independent contractors subject to **18 U.S.C. §§201–211** to the stated special-government-employee extent. Former §657 permitted compensation subject to Judicial Conference limits and transportation reimbursement under AO regulations. The criminal-law cross-reference and present application need a separate dossier. | S020 former §§656–657. No criminal, tax, employment, or immunity result inferred. |\n| **R060-P1-C101** | Original §902 authorized model rules without permitting them to supersede statute; §904 preserved judicial rulemaking powers. Section 903 required annual AO statistical reporting and a five-year FJC report addressing program descriptions, satisfaction, program features, hearing costs, and recommendations. These are institutional provisions, not proof of actual program performance. | S020 §§902–904; corresponding S001 notes. |\n| **R060-P1-C102** | Original Title IX became effective **180 days after November 19, 1988**. Original §906 provided repeal **five years after enactment**, preserving the chapter through final disposition for actions referred before repeal. Those are different triggers from “five years after effectiveness.” The repealer was subsequently changed and repealed. | S020 §§906–907; S021–S022. |\n| **R060-P1-C103** | The 1993 Act replaced the original sunset formula with **December 31, 1994**, changed four succeeding funding years to seven, and expressly made Chapter 44 effective on and after **December 14, 1993** as if the former repealer had not repealed it. No unexamined interim judicial consequence is inferred. | S021 §§1–2; enacted approval; enrolled text resolves the numeral. |\n| **R060-P1-C104** | The 1994 Act changed the funding authorization to fiscal years **1994–1997**, removed the spending cutoff associated with repeal, and repealed §906 and its table item. Therefore the old repealer cannot be quoted as a current general sunset. | S022 §3(a)–(b). |\n| **R060-P1-C105** | The 1997 provision referenced by current §654(d) changed former §905’s funding authorization from fiscal years 1994–1997 to **each fiscal year**. Its actual body is an appropriations-authorization amendment, not a freestanding new consent or referral provision. | S023 §1; S004 §654(d). |\n| **R060-P1-C106** | The complete 1998 Act rewrote all eight sections and expressly repealed old §901(c), the provision allowing specified preexisting local monetary limits up to $150,000. The original higher-limit exception is therefore not presented as a free-standing current authorization. The Act read contains no separate delayed-effective clause. | S019 §§3–10, 12(a)–(b), approval; S020 §901(c). |\n| **R060-P1-C107** | The 1998 Act authorizes necessary appropriations **for each fiscal year**. The earlier authorization, as amended, addresses allocation of appropriated funds and availability until expended. Authorization is not an appropriation, an actual allocation, an individual fee payment, or an entitlement to free ADR. | S019 §11; S020 §905 as amended by S021–S023; S001 funding notes. |\n| **R060-P1-C108** | Section 651(c)’s explicit enactment-date test and §654(d)’s reference to programs under specified legislation are different predicates. Section 654(d) states no numerical expiration period. Whether a program qualifies, and how each former provision interacts with the rewrite and express repeal, remain questions requiring additional authority beyond a program label. | S001 §651(c); S004 §654(d); S019 §12(a). |\n| **R060-P1-C109** | The preserved-program interaction, disputed monetary characterization, statutory-period enlargement, deficient filing/service effects, immunity boundaries, and broader review/remedies were not resolved through judicial authority. No case-law consensus or absence of a remedy is asserted. | Scope limit tied to C045–C048, C060–C062, C077–C091, C092–C108. |\n| **R060-P1-C110** | This statutory investigation supplies no actual jurisdiction, local duty, consent, qualification, conflict, fee, award, judgment, demand, debt validity, collection right, or settlement suitability finding. Broader FAA, state law, bankruptcy merits, remedies, and actual program facts remain held. | Scope of S001–S008 and the expressly limited cross-reference readings. |\n\nThe current preservation clause and the original enactments support a conditional historical comparison. They do not justify treating the entire former chapter as universally operative today. [uscode.house.gov+11](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-121/t28/s654/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n## 3.

Conditional branches and branch-level coverage\n\nThis is the **branch-level portion of the coverage register**. “Answered” refers to the bounded public-law rule; actual predicates remain unresolved or held. The next inquiries are generic public-law inquiries, not requests to obtain a real record or inspect a local program.\n\n| Branch ID and status | Supported conditional rule; cumulative predicates; claim/source links | Missing predicate or authority | Adverse inference to avoid | Next permissible generic public-law inquiry |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **R060-P1-B001 — Governing court/proceeding unknown. Public rule answered; classification held.** | Chapter 44 addresses district courts and civil actions, expressly including bankruptcy adversary proceedings. C005–C006; S001, S009, S025 Rule 81(a)(2). | Statutory court category and proceeding classification. | Every federal forum or bankruptcy matter is covered. | Examine only generic statutory/rule definitions distinguishing an adversary proceeding from other bankruptcy matters if that classification becomes necessary. |\n| **B002 — Underlying federal jurisdiction unknown. Partial.** | A referral concerns an action pending before the court; Rule 82 does not enlarge jurisdiction. C008, C056–C057; S004, S011, S025. | Applicable jurisdictional basis and its predicates. | ADR availability creates federal jurisdiction over a debt dispute. | A separately bounded inquiry could examine the public jurisdictional statute relevant to a generic category; no actual claim classification follows here. |\n| **B003 — Local implementing rule unexamined. National authority answered; local contents excluded.** | Program/local-rule duties operate under §2071 and Rule 83. C009, C020–C025; S001, S010, S025. | Valid adoption, text, effective date, and scope of any implementing rule. | The federal command proves a particular local requirement. | Determine from national public rulemaking authority what conditions govern adoption and amendment; retain district-specific text as held. |\n| **B004 — Consideration/participation versus settlement. Answered.** | Consideration and authorized required use do not establish agreement on terms. C013–C019; S002. | Any separate source governing agreement formation/authority. | Attendance or consideration equals settlement consent. | Ask whether any later generic national enactment expressly adds a settlement-outcome duty; do not investigate actual assent. |\n| **B005 — Arbitration consent absent. Rule answered; actual consent held.** | Current referral requires consent and safeguards, subject to §654(d). C054, C061–C062; S004. | Applicable statutory route and legally sufficient consent procedure/evidence. | Silence, attendance, or consent to mediation proves arbitration consent; or every preserved program necessarily requires consent. | Examine generic national instruments implementing §654(b), while keeping actual consent records excluded. |\n| **B006 — Facilitation versus adjudicative effect. Answered within text.** | ADR definition includes facilitation; Chapter 44’s award/judgment mechanism is specifically arbitration. C004, C019, C077–C083; S001, S007. | Separate law governing any resulting agreement. | A mediated discussion automatically creates an award or judgment. | Identify the generic statutory boundary between an agreement and a Chapter 44 award without analyzing an actual agreement. |\n| **B007 — Covered/excluded claim category unknown. Rule answered; classification held.** | Current exclusions separately address constitutional-right allegations and jurisdiction wholly/partly under §1343. C055–C057; S004, S011, S036. | Legal characterization and jurisdictional basis. | A low amount defeats those exclusions, or every civil-rights label has identical treatment. | Read any indispensable generic incorporated civil-rights text only if a further classification component is authorized. |\n| **B008 — Monetary boundary unknown. Rule answered; measurement unresolved.** | Current exclusion is money damages greater than $150,000; equality alone does not trigger it. C058–C060; S004; M002–M003. | Character of relief, valuation, aggregation, interest/cost treatment, and certification predicate. | Cap equals total debt, affordability, or a jurisdictional minimum; old exclusions of interest/costs automatically apply. | Check for a later public enactment or national rule expressly defining valuation/aggregation under §654(a)(3). Judicial reconciliation remains held. |\n| **B009 — Preserved earlier program unknown. Partial.** | §654(d) preserves a program satisfying the referenced legislative predicate. Earlier compulsory/consent structures differ. C062, C092–C108; S004, S019–S023. | Legal qualification under preservation clause and interaction with later changes. | A program’s age or “arbitration” label establishes grandfathering. | Examine only later generic legislation or rulemaking addressing §654(d); no actual program or court lookup. |\n| **B010 — Neutral qualification unknown. Public standard answered; actual qualification held.** | Local selection processes, qualified/trained “should” language, and mandatory arbitrator certification are distinct. C030–C034; S003, S005, S012. | Applicable standards and actual satisfaction. | Availability, professional title, or claimed experience proves statutory qualification. | Authenticate any national generic training/certification standard implementing these sections. |\n| **B011 — Conflict/waiver unknown. Public provisions answered; application held.** | §455 includes grounds, definitions, exceptions, nonwaivable grounds, limited waiver, and conditional divestiture. C035–C046; S013, S020, S024. | Legally relevant relationship/interest/knowledge/timing and applicable local neutral standard. | Any consent cures every conflict; any divestiture always cures disqualification. | Resolve the original §3 OCR gap or examine a later generic statutory amendment; no person/interest inquiry. |\n| **B012 — Compensation/costs unknown. Partial.** | Compensation is conditional on regulations; transportation reimbursement is permissive. Historical principles are expressly nonmandatory. C049–C053, C091, C097–C100; S008, S020, S027. | Current national regulations, applicable cost authority, and any authorized local rule. | ADR is always free; a historical rate is a national current fee; inability to pay automatically proves a waiver. | Authenticate the current public Guide compensation regulation and AO transportation regulations, if publicly accessible. |\n| **B013 — Confidentiality/award access unknown. Public text answered; complete regime unresolved.** | Confidentiality-rule duty, restricted judge access, and trial-evidence exceptions are different provisions. C018, C080, C083; S002, S007. | Applicable national/local rules and evidentiary conditions. | All communications are privileged against all persons; every award is publicly sealed forever. | Check generic Chapter 131 rulemaking for implementing confidentiality rules; full privilege merits remain held. |\n| **B014 — Notice/service predicates absent. Public rules answered; events held.** | Award-service proof, Rule 5 demand service where applicable, and Rule 45 subpoena notice/service have different actors and conditions. C065–C066, C077, C084–C085; S007, S025. | Applicable procedure, qualifying service/filing event, recipient category, and method. | One notice satisfies all service obligations, or service alone starts §657’s filing-triggered period. | Examine generic national provisions addressing the particular kind of paper, without preparing or serving one. |\n| **B015 — Hearing timing/record unknown. Partial.** | Current chapter supplies no universal hearing-start/transcript rule; earlier §653(b) has qualified timing. C047, C063–C076, C095; S005–S006, S020, S025. | Current versus preserved route, applicable procedural authority, and event predicates. | The historical 180-day rule or a deposition recording provision applies to every ADR session. | Check later generic statutes/rules for an express arbitration-hearing timing or record requirement. |\n| **B016 — Award filed versus judgment entered. Answered; actual event held.** | Award filing and judgment entry are separate; entry follows the statutory trial-demand opportunity. C077–C081; S007. | Qualifying award/service-proof filing, demand status, and entry event. | An award announcement is already a collectible judgment. | Examine generic statutory text addressing the legal effect of deficient award filing; actual records remain excluded. |\n| **B017 — Trial-demand timing/exceptions unknown. Partial.** | Written demand within 30 days after qualifying award filing; Rule 6 distinctions apply only within their scope. C081, C086–C090; S007, S025–S026. | Trigger validity, governing procedural system, counting facts, and authority concerning enlargement. | Automatic 33 days; a court extension is guaranteed; receipt is the statutory trigger. | Look for an express later statute/national rule addressing §657(c)(1) extension or defective-filing effects; do not calculate a calendar. |\n| **B018 — Consequences/cost allocation of demand. Public comparison answered; application held.** | Current restoration/evidence rules differ from historical fee/deposit and bad-faith provisions. C082–C083, C091, C096–C100; S007, S014, S020. | Applicable route, legally effective cost rule, favorability/good-cause/bad-faith predicates. | Demand is always costless, or failure to improve an award always generates attorney fees. | Determine whether later generic legislation expressly preserves or changes the former cost provisions. |\n| **B019 — Cross-reference/history authentication. Partial.** | Referenced 1988/1993/1994/1997/1998 instruments were read; §654(d)’s stray word and interaction issues remain visible. C062, C102–C108; S019–S023. | Judicial reconciliation and complete later history. | Editorial correction alone settles substantive preservation; repealed §901(c) is current authority. | Check later enacted text expressly clarifying §654(d) or §12(a), without searching opinions/cases. |\n| **B020 — Standing-order authority unknown. National rule answered; actual directive excluded.** | Rule 83(b) permits consistent practice regulation, with actual-notice protection for otherwise unstated requirements. C020–C025; S010, S025. | Nature, authority, consistency, and actual notice of any directive. | A generic reference to a standing order proves its existence, validity, or applicability. | Examine generic national rules distinguishing local rules from judge-specific practice regulation. |\n| **B021 — Enforceability/collection unknown. Statutory effect answered; remedies held.** | §657(a) specifies force/effect and a review restriction for the judgment so entered. C078–C079, C109–C110; S007. | Actual entry and separate enforcement/remedy predicates. | Statutory judgment language proves payment, executable assets, or lack of every possible remedy. | A separately authorized generic judgment-enforcement component would be required; no collection inquiry in this pass. |\n| **B022 — Latest original/currentness gap. Partial.** | K bodies are accessible; newer paths failed; table check is bounded. Proposed rule material is not operative. C001–C003; S025, S028–S034. | Complete later session-law/rulemaking chain and some original amendment bodies. | Host timestamp or failed access proves law is unchanged or absent. | Recheck official current section bodies and public-law classification/enactment materials through the later check date. |\n| **B023 — Private FAA/administrative/other forum. Excluded with reason.** | Chapter 44 definition and Title 9 savings clause do not establish another process’s law. C004, C007, C110; S001. | Separate governing public law and permitted scope. | Chapter 44 demand/review rules govern every arbitration clause or agency proceeding. | Separate authorization would be needed for the broader FAA or administrative ADR framework. |\n| **B024 — Funding versus entitlement. Answered; actual funding excluded.** | Program support and appropriations authorization do not prove appropriations, allocation, free services, or settlement payment. C012, C049–C053, C107; S001, S008, S019–S023, S027. | Actual appropriation and applicable generic compensation authority; award/program facts held. | “Authorized” means funded or payable to a litigant. | Examine a public appropriations provision only if needed for a consequential generic funding claim; no grantee/program/award search. |\n\n## 6.

Source-read and failure log\n\n| Log ID | Source/read action | Result and exact limit |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **L001** | S001–S008 official section bodies | Complete eight-section bodies and material displayed notes read; successful ordinary official pages, K compilation. |\n| **L002** | S033 legacy OLRC paths | Chapter granule route unavailable; section query/granule and chapter-path routes returned unavailable/404 results. No substantive proposition relies on those failures. |\n| **L003** | S034 newer-version routes; S028–S029 currency/table | Newer target bodies inaccessible; currency and bounded classification material accessible. No equation of failure with absent law. |\n| **L004** | S019 1998 Act | Whole six-page Act parsed and read. Screenshot attempt did not provide inspectable pixels; no visual certification. |\n| **L005** | S020 1988 omnibus Act | Complete selected Title IX plus the identified rulemaking/disqualification provisions read; remainder not claimed read. Statutory enumeration was read as law, not used for court/program selection. |\n| **L006** | S021 1993 Act and ordinary alternatives | Enacted PDF read with one garbled numeral; GovInfo enrolled text successfully supplied that numeral. Failed alternatives: [https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-103publ192/html/PLAW-103publ192.htm](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-103publ192/html/PLAW-103publ192.htm) and [https://www.congress.gov/103/bills/s1732/BILLS-103s1732enr.pdf](https://www.congress.gov/103/bills/s1732/BILLS-103s1732enr.pdf). No gate bypass. |\n| **L007** | S022 1994 Act | Initial route [https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-103publ420/pdf/PLAW-103publ420.pdf](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-103publ420/pdf/PLAW-103publ420.pdf) was inaccessible. Statutes at Large alternate succeeded; complete §3 and approval line read. |\n| **L008** | Compensation/travel public-authority search | S027’s complete generic ADR compensation action read. A current complete Guide provision and AO transportation regulation were not authenticated. Historical rate excerpts and out-of-scope local-program hits were not adopted or followed. |\n| **L009** | S024 1974 disqualification Act | Retrieved original has OCR problems in the first printed-page header and part of §3. Current §455 and its complete statutory note were read; original §3 authentication remains partial. |\n| **L010** | S025 national rules | Complete and selected portions precisely listed in source register read. The remainder of the 142-page compilation was not certified as read. No blank or completed court form inspected. |\n| **L011** | S026 2023 amendment order | Adoption/effectiveness order, Rule 6 amendment, and complete Rule 87 attachment read. Other amended rules not analyzed. |\n| **L012** | S032 2013 amendment materials | GPO PDF accessible, but inserted substantive pages were not exposed as readable body text. Supreme Court XML was unsupported; attempted PDF route inaccessible. No claim to unseen original text or pixels. |\n| **L013** | S030–S031 proposed-rule status | Material official status sections read. Draft-package substance was not used; projected dates were not treated as enacted effectiveness. |\n| **L014** | Generic search exclusions | Search results incidentally included out-of-scope local-program and judicial-case material. No case, docket, party, neutral, roster, or actual-program query was made; those result bodies were not opened or used as authority. |\n| **L015** | S036 1979 application provision | Whole one-page original read, including the strict “after enactment” application condition. |\n| **L016** | Source grouping | Alternate formats, repeated opens, Code restatements, and enrolled/enacted text were grouped by role. They were not represented as multiple independent confirmations of one proposition. |\n\n## 9. Explicit gaps and researcher self-check\n\n### Remaining gaps\n\n1. **Currentness after the accessible checks.** The target bodies are authenticated at K. The newer general currency label and classification table improve the bounded check but do not complete a session-law audit through October 27, 2026. **C001; S028–S034.**\n2. **Preserved-program application.** The original legislative framework and the current preservation clause were read. No actual program qualification was investigated, and the interaction of individual earlier provisions with the 1998 rewrite and express §901(c) repeal was not resolved through judicial authority. **C062, C092–C109.**\n3. **Current compensation and travel regulations.** The statutory conditions and the complete historical Conference compensation action were read. A current complete regulatory body and later history were not authenticated. No national fee, waiver, reimbursement rate, or payer is established. **C049–C053.**\n4. **National-rule amendment originals.** The current rule bodies used were read in the official compilation, and the 2023 order was read. The 2013 original-package body was not readable through the attempted sources; the full original chains of the other ancillary rules were not reconstructed. **C003, C029; S025–S026, S032.**\n5. **Exact interpretive edges.** Monetary aggregation/mixed relief, deficient award filing or service, enlargement of the statutory demand period, immunity boundaries, and broader review/remedies remain unresolved. Those issues cannot be settled by treating a heading, local-rule mandate, or absence of language in one section as a complete answer. **C060, C077–C091, C109.**\n6. **Actual application and broader A060 work.** All actual court/program, jurisdiction, party, neutral, consent, service, award, judgment, cost, and collection facts remain absent. Private FAA arbitration, administrative ADR, state regimes, full privilege/evidence law, bankruptcy merits, and broader enforcement/appeal questions remain held. **C007–C008, C110.**\n\n### Researcher self-check — not independent review\n\n| Check | Researcher’s assessment |\n| --- | --- |\n| Fresh foundation | Earlier conversation reports and separate-project conclusions were not used as legal premises. |\n| Principal bodies | All eight accessible official section bodies were read, including exceptions and material displayed notes. |\n| Arbitration preservation | §654(d) was retained; the earlier enacted framework was read before making consent, amount, timing, or cost comparisons. |\n| Mandatory versus permissive wording | “Shall,” “may,” and “should” were distinguished, including certification, training, referral, reimbursement, and historical compensation principles. |\n| Conditions and exceptions | Current exclusions, both trial-evidence exceptions, §455’s nested definitions/exceptions, and the earlier cost provisions’ cumulative predicates were preserved. |\n| Quantities and triggers | Filing was distinguished from service; current and historical monetary language was separated; no actual deadline, fee, or financial result was calculated. |\n| Source integrity | Failed originals, readable alternatives, parsing limitations, selected read bounds, and compilation/effectiveness differences remain visible. |\n| Scope compliance | No actual case, party, neutral, roster, provider, program, agreement, award, or docket investigation was undertaken; no operative document was drafted or transmitted. |\n| Worksheet | All evidence, authority-entry, analysis, and result cells remain genuinely blank. |\n| Review/acceptance | This is the researcher’s self-check only.
