Federal Chapter 11 small-business-debtor and Subchapter V eligibility, election and threshold transitions

The last verified operative threshold established by the enacted authorities read is $3,424,000 for cases commenced on or after April 1, 2025. The retrieved version of §1182(1) defines a Subchapter V debtor by reference to the “small business debtor” definition in §101(51D). That definition contains several cumulative conditions and exclusions; satisfying its dollar limit alone does not establish eligibility. The earlier $7,500,000 expansion expired under the sunset enacted in 2022. Currentness remains qualified: an official enrolled 2026 bill would restore a $7,500,000 Subchapter V limit, but enactment of that bill was not established by the accessible primary materials. It is therefore not treated here as operative law. C001–C002, C060, C068, C071. uscode.house.gov+4

This investigation was conducted independently of R036. It establishes published legal conditions and identifies unresolved legal edges; it classifies no debtor, debt, business, filing or election. All actual facts and all component, parent, operational and publication acceptance remain held.

Access date: October 27, 2026, America/Los_Angeles. UTC clock checks during this investigation included October 28, 2026, 02:00:36 and 02:18:52, corresponding to that Los Angeles date. Source compilation dates, publication dates and effective dates are separately identified below.

Reference convention: “C001” means R039-P1-C001; “S001” means R039-P1-S001. B-numbers identify qualitative branches. These are report references, not identifying entries for any debtor or case.

1. Atomic claim table: substantive findings

1.1 Controlling classifications and basic definitions

Claim ID Supported proposition and limits Exact authority / source
R039-P1-C001 Most retrieved Code pages state that they contain laws in effect through Public Law 119-134, October 20, 2026. That is the compilation boundary, not proof that every later enactment or judicial development was audited. The OFR register accessed here was reviewed October 26 and listed laws through 119-136, approved October 22. Those later slip-law bodies and definitive latest status of H.R. 7730 were inaccessible. Consequently, the October 27 currentness conclusion is qualified. S037, S039–S040; failure log F08–F09. US Code+2
R039-P1-C002 In the retrieved operative text, §1182(1) defines “debtor” as a small business debtor. It does not currently reproduce a separate $7,500,000 definition. The incorporated definition is §101(51D), including its exclusions and adjusted amounts. S001 §1182(1); S002 §101(51D); S014 §2(i)(1)(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C003 Section 1182(2) defines “debtor in possession” as the debtor unless removed under §1185(a). Under that incorporated provision, a party in interest may request removal; after notice and a hearing, the court must order removal for cause, including fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, gross mismanagement before or after commencement, or failure to perform obligations under a confirmed Subchapter V plan. Section 1185(b) permits reinstatement on a party’s request after notice and a hearing. These are separate from initial eligibility and election. S001 §1182(2); S042 §1185(a)–(b). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C004 Section 103(a) generally applies Chapters 1, 3 and 5 in Chapter 11, subject to §1161. Section 103(g) applies Chapter 11’s first three subchapters in Chapter 11 cases. Section 103(i) makes Subchapter V applicable only in a Chapter 11 case in which a debtor as defined in §1182 elects it. Eligibility under §109, qualification under §1182 and election are cumulative questions. S005 §103(a), (g), (i); S004; S024. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C005 A statutory “small business case” is a Chapter 11 case whose debtor is a small business debtor and has not elected Subchapter V. A small business debtor that elects Subchapter V therefore should not be described as being in a “small business case” in this particular statutory sense. S002 §101(51C). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C006 “Person” includes an individual, partnership and corporation, but excludes a governmental unit. The governmental-unit exceptions concern assets acquired through a loan-guarantee agreement or as receiver/liquidating agent, pension-benefit guarantees, and legal or beneficial ownership of assets of the specified governmental pension or eligible deferred-compensation plans. Those exceptions deem the governmental unit a person only for §1102, with respect to the asset or benefit. They are not a general Chapter 11 debtor-eligibility exception. S002 §101(41)(A)–(C), concluding language. Tax-plan qualifications incorporated there were not separately investigated. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C007 “Corporation” includes an association possessing a private corporation’s relevant power or privilege; a partnership association organized under law making only subscribed capital responsible for its debts; a joint-stock company; an unincorporated company or association; and a business trust. It excludes a limited partnership from that definition, although a partnership remains separately included in “person.” A business label alone does not settle classification. S002 §101(9), (41). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C008 “Entity” includes a person, estate, trust, governmental unit and United States trustee. The broader word entity does not establish that every listed entity is an eligible Chapter 11 person. S002 §101(15); S004 §109(d). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C009 The general Code definition of “debtor” is a person or municipality concerning which a Title 11 case has commenced. That general definition does not replace the narrower definition applicable within Subchapter V. S002 §101(13); S001 §1182(1). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C010 “Petition” means a petition under §§301, 302, 303 or 1504, as applicable, commencing a Title 11 case. The specific Chapter 11 commencement and order-for-relief consequences require the relevant provision; the general definition alone does not select a measurement date. Chapter 15 was not investigated. S002 §101(42); S019–S020. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C011 “Governmental unit” covers the listed domestic and foreign governments and their departments, agencies and instrumentalities, with an exception for a United States trustee serving as trustee in a case. “Municipality” means a political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a State. Section 109(a)’s reference to municipalities does not itself authorize Chapter 11. S002 §101(27), (40); S004 §109(a), (d). uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C012 Under §102, “includes” and “including” are nonlimiting; “or” is not exclusive; a claim against the debtor includes a claim against the debtor’s property; and an “order for relief” means its entry. These construction rules matter to the insider lists, alternative predicates and event distinctions. S003 §102(2), (3), (5), (6). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C013 “Debt” means liability on a claim. It is not defined by the size of a payment, available cash, asset value or the amount someone informally calls “owed.” S002 §101(12); §101(51D)(A). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C014 “Claim” includes a right to payment whether or not reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured. It also includes an equitable remedy for breach of performance if the breach gives rise to a right to payment, with the specified judgment, contingency, maturity, dispute and security alternatives. A disputed claim is not excluded from the broad claim definition merely because it is disputed. S002 §101(5)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C015 “Consumer debt” is debt incurred by an individual primarily for a personal, family or household purpose. This definition does not say that every debt outside that category necessarily arose from the debtor’s commercial or business activities for §101(51D). S002 §101(8), (51D)(A). The second sentence is a textual scope inference. uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C016 A “lien” is a charge against or interest in property securing payment or performance. A security agreement creates or provides for a security interest; a security interest is a lien created by agreement. A judicial lien arises through the specified judicial or equitable processes. A statutory lien arises by force of statute in specified circumstances, or is a distress lien for rent; it excludes security interests and judicial liens even where statute supports their effectiveness. S002 §101(36), (37), (50), (51), (53). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C017 Section 506(a)(1) addresses an allowed claim secured by an estate-property lien or subject to §553 setoff: the claim is secured to the relevant collateral value or setoff amount and unsecured for the remainder. Valuation depends on its purpose and proposed disposition or use. Section 506(a)(2)’s personal-property replacement-value rule is expressly for individual Chapter 7 or 13 cases. It is not a universal Chapter 11 eligibility valuation rule. S025 §506(a)(1)–(2). No §553, allowance or disputed eligibility valuation result is supplied. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C018 The selected statutory text does not supply general definitions resolving every use of “noncontingent,” “liquidated,” or “engaged in commercial or business activities.” No judicial gloss, consensus, guarantee classification or inactive-business rule is inferred. The existence of a broad §101(5) claim and its inclusion in the narrower §101(51D) calculation are separate questions. S002 §101(5), (12), (51D). This is a limit of the statutory findings, not a claim that interpretive law is absent.

1.2 Affiliate, insider and counted-debt predicates

Claim ID Supported proposition and limits Exact authority / source
R039-P1-C019 Under §101(2)(A), an affiliate includes an entity directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding power to vote 20% or more of the debtor’s outstanding voting securities. The clause excludes holdings in a fiduciary or agency capacity without sole discretionary voting power, and holdings solely to secure a debt where that voting power has not actually been exercised. S002 §101(2)(A)(i)–(ii). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C020 Section 101(2)(B) also covers a corporation whose outstanding voting securities are at least 20% directly or indirectly owned, controlled or held with voting power by the debtor, or by an entity with the specified 20% voting relationship to the debtor. The same fiduciary/agency and unexercised debt-security voting exceptions appear in this clause. S002 §101(2)(B)(i)–(ii). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C021 Affiliation can also arise through operations: a person whose business is operated by the debtor under a lease or operating agreement; a person substantially all of whose property is operated under an operating agreement with the debtor; or an entity operating the debtor’s business or substantially all its property under a lease or operating agreement. Ownership percentage is therefore not the only statutory route. S002 §101(2)(C)–(D). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C022 For an individual debtor, the insider list includes a relative of the debtor or of a general partner of the debtor; a partnership in which the debtor is a general partner; a general partner of the debtor; and a corporation of which the debtor is a director, officer or controlling person. S002 §101(31)(A); C012 makes the list nonexhaustive. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C023 For a corporate debtor, insiders include its directors, officers and controlling persons; a partnership in which it is a general partner; its general partner; and a relative of a general partner, director, officer or controlling person. S002 §101(31)(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C024 For a partnership debtor, insiders include a general partner in the debtor; a relative of a general partner in, general partner of, or controlling person of the debtor; a partnership in which the debtor is a general partner; a general partner of the debtor; and a person in control. S002 §101(31)(C). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C025 For a municipality, the list includes an elected official or that official’s relative. Across the definition, it also includes an affiliate, an insider of an affiliate as if the affiliate were the debtor, and a managing agent of the debtor. The statutory list is nonexclusive; the report makes no nonstatutory-insider determination. S002 §101(31)(D)–(F); S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C026 “Relative” means an individual related by affinity or consanguinity within the third degree, determined by common law, or within the corresponding step or adoptive relationship. No actual relationship is established. S002 §101(45). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C027 Section 101(51D)(A), subject to all of subparagraph (B), requires a person engaged in commercial or business activities. It expressly includes an affiliate of that person that is also a Title 11 debtor and excludes a person whose primary activity is the business of owning single asset real estate. Neither “small business” branding nor ownership of a business substitutes for these predicates. S002 §101(51D)(A). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C028 The individual debtor’s dollar test combines noncontingent, liquidated, secured and unsecured debts. Both noncontingency and liquidation are required for the counted category. Secured debt is not omitted simply because collateral exists. S002 §101(51D)(A); C013–C018. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C029 Section 101(51D)(A) measures those debts as of the filing of the petition or the date of the order for relief. That wording does not authorize choosing whichever date produces a favorable result. Voluntary, joint, involuntary and converted proceedings require the relevant event provisions to be distinguished. S002 §101(51D)(A); S003 §102(6); S019–S021.
R039-P1-C030 Debts owed to one or more affiliates or insiders are excluded from the stated §101(51D)(A) calculation. That exclusion does not erase the underlying liability and is not an exclusion of every debt merely connected with a related business. S002 §101(51D)(A), with §101(2), (31). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C031 At least 50% of the debts described in §101(51D)(A) must have arisen from the commercial or business activities of the debtor. The statutory syntax connects the percentage to the counted debt category, including its exclusions. It is not a percentage of revenue, assets, creditors, payments or an owner’s combined financial affairs. Exactly 50% satisfies this proportion condition. S002 §101(51D)(A). Denominator identification is a direct textual reading; disputed attribution remains held. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C032 Section 101(51D)(B)(i) excludes any member of a group of affiliated debtors under Title 11 whose aggregate noncontingent liquidated secured and unsecured debts exceed the applicable limit, excluding debt owed to affiliates or insiders. The group predicate is not triggered merely by the existence of a related nondebtor business. The clause does not state a separate revenue ratio or expressly repeat a separate measurement date. Shared-liability counting, group membership timing and disputed aggregation are not resolved here. S002 §101(51D)(B)(i); S014 §2(a)(1). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C033 A debtor that is a corporation subject to Exchange Act §13 or §15(d) reporting requirements is excluded. The operative predicate is reporting status, not a general description such as “public company,” an exchange listing, or the existence of securities in the abstract. S002 §101(51D)(B)(ii); S028. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C034 Any debtor that is an affiliate of a corporation described in C033 is also excluded. Unlike the group-debt clause, this clause does not require the reporting corporation itself to be a Title 11 debtor. The current clause is narrower than the historical “affiliate of an issuer” wording. S002 §101(51D)(B)(iii); S014 §2(a)(2). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C035 Exchange Act §13(a) imposes specified information and periodic-report requirements on an issuer with a security registered under §12, subject to the statute and SEC rules. Its provisions concerning current information, annual/quarterly reports, exchange copies and emerging-growth-company accounting treatment were read. They do not establish any actual corporation’s reporting status. Full securities-registration and exemption analysis remains held. S028, 15 U.S.C. §78m(a), complete selected subsection. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C036 Section 15(d)(1) covers specified pre-August 20, 1964 undertakings and later effective Securities Act registration statements. Its reporting duty is suspended while an issue is registered under §12; that does not establish freedom from §13 reporting. Its separate fiscal-year suspension excludes the registration-effective fiscal year and requires each relevant non-asset-backed class to have fewer than 300 holders of record at the year’s beginning, or the stated 1,200 threshold for the specified banking categories. Similar-character/right securities form a class; SEC rules may define record holding. Foreign-government and political-subdivision securities are excluded. Section 15(d)(2) separately authorizes conditional suspension/termination and classification for asset-backed securities. Actual status and incorporated banking classifications remain unestablished. S028, 15 U.S.C. §78o(d)(1)–(2), whole subsection. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C037 The historical “issuer” cross-reference was to Exchange Act §3. Section 3(a)(8) generally concerns a person issuing or proposing to issue a security, with special treatment for specified trust/deposit certificates and equipment-trust arrangements. That historical issuer-based affiliation test must not be substituted for today’s reporting-corporation-affiliate test. No issuer classification is made. S028, 15 U.S.C. §78c(a)(8); S012 §1113(a)(1), (4)(A); S014 §2(a), (d).
R039-P1-C038 “Single asset real estate” requires real property constituting a single property or project, other than residential property with fewer than four residential units, generating substantially all gross income of a debtor who is not a family farmer, with no substantial business conducted there other than operating the real property and incidental activities. The §101(51D) exclusion additionally asks whether the person’s primary activity is the business of owning that SARE. One property, four units or rental income alone does not complete the test. S002 §101(51B), (51D)(A). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C039 The individual/family-spouse branch of “family farmer” requires engagement in a farming operation; aggregate debts within the separately adjusted family-farmer ceiling, $12,562,250 under the 2025 notice; at least 50% of aggregate noncontingent liquidated debts at filing arising from the owned or operated farming operation, excluding principal-residence debt unless it arises from that operation; and more than 50% of gross income from that operation for the preceding taxable year or each of the second and third preceding taxable years. These are separate denominators and periods from §101(51D). S002 §101(18)(A)(i)–(ii); S008 §101(18) adjustment. Included only because §101(51B) incorporates “family farmer.” uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C040 The corporate/partnership family-farmer branch requires more than 50% of outstanding stock/equity held by one family or that family and relatives, who conduct the farming operation; more than 80% of asset value related to the operation; aggregate debt within the separate adjusted ceiling; and at least 50% of noncontingent liquidated debt at filing arising from its owned/operated farm. The specified owned dwelling used as a shareholder’s or partner’s principal residence is excluded unless its debt arises from farming. If the corporation issues stock, it must not be publicly traded. S002 §101(18)(B)(i)–(iii); S008. No Chapter 12 eligibility conclusion follows. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C041 Outside the compound term “family farmer,” “farmer” requires more than 80% of gross income in the immediately preceding taxable year from a farming operation the person owned or operated. “Farming operation” nonexclusively includes farming, soil tillage, dairy farming, ranching, crops, poultry, livestock and unmanufactured poultry/livestock products. The farmer and family-farmer definitions are not interchangeable. S002 §101(20)–(21); S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov

1.3 Chapter 11 eligibility and incorporated exclusions

Claim ID Supported proposition and limits Exact authority / source
R039-P1-C042 Section 109(a) requires the specified U.S. connection: residence, domicile, place of business or property in the United States, subject to its separate municipality wording. It is an initial Title 11 gate, not the whole Chapter 11 test. S004 §109(a). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C043 Section 109(d) permits the listed Chapter 11 categories: a railroad; a person eligible under Chapter 7 except a stockbroker or commodity broker; and the specified uninsured State member bank or Federal Reserve Act §25A corporation operating, or operating as, the referenced multilateral clearing organization. The ordinary Chapter 11 gateway contains no §101(51D)-style small-business dollar ceiling. Other applicable §109 conditions still matter. S004 §109(d), incorporating (b), with (a), (g), (h). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C044 The incorporated §109(b)(2) exclusions enumerate domestic insurance companies; banks; savings banks; cooperative banks; savings-and-loan, building-and-loan and homestead associations; defined New Markets Venture Capital companies; SBA-licensed small business investment companies; credit unions; and industrial banks or similar institutions meeting the stated insured-bank qualifier. Its special clearing-institution exception includes a petition filed at Federal Reserve Board direction. Section 109(d)’s separate clearing-institution wording must also be read; it does not repeat that direction language. S004 §109(b)(2), (d); S029–S031. The present operation of the repealed §409 cross-reference remains held. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C045 The foreign-institution exclusions cover a foreign insurance company engaged in that business in the United States and the listed foreign banking/credit-union categories having a U.S. branch or agency as statutorily defined. A foreign connection alone is not the stated test. S004 §109(b)(3)(A)–(B); S030, 12 U.S.C. §3101(1), (3), (7). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C046 “Stockbroker” requires both a customer as defined in §741 and a business effecting securities transactions for others or with the general public for/from its own account. Section 741(2) includes specified claims arising from securities received, acquired or held in ordinary stockbroker business for safekeeping, sale, covering a consummated sale, purchase, collateral or transfer registration; sale/conversion of those securities; or deposits for securities purchase/sale. A label or isolated securities holding is insufficient. S002 §101(53A); S026 §741(2)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C047 “Commodity broker” requires one of the listed §761 categories—futures commission merchant, foreign futures commission merchant, clearing organization, leverage transaction merchant or commodity-options dealer—and a §761 customer. The merchant, transaction and customer predicates were read, including the CEA terms incorporated by §761(8). This report does not equate an ordinary commercial commodity activity with that classification. Full regulatory classification remains held. S002 §101(6); S027 §761(2), (4)–(9), (11)–(14); S032. uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C048 “Railroad” means the specified common carrier transporting individuals/property or an owner of trackage leased by such a carrier. Section 103(h) makes Subchapter IV applicable only to a railroad case, and §1161 removes specified provisions, including §341, in railroad cases. The interaction of that specialized route with a proposed Subchapter V election is not resolved merely by §109(d)’s railroad inclusion. S002 §101(44); S005 §103(h); S024 §1161. uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C049 Section 109(g) bars an individual or family farmer who had a Title 11 case pending within the preceding 180 days if it was dismissed for willful failure to obey court orders or properly prosecute the case, or if the debtor requested and obtained voluntary dismissal following a request for stay relief. A prior dismissal of unspecified kind does not establish this bar. Full repeat-filing and stay consequences remain excluded. S004 §109(g)(1)–(2). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C050 Section 109(h)(1), subject to its stated exceptions, requires an individual to have received an individual or group briefing from an approved nonprofit budget/credit-counseling agency during the 180-day period ending on the date the individual files the petition. The briefing may be by telephone or Internet and must outline available counseling and assist a related budget analysis. No briefing, approval, individual-filed petition or compliance fact is supplied. S004 §109(h)(1); S033 §111(a). No agency roster was searched. uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C051 Section 109(h)(2) provides a district-based exception where the U.S. trustee or bankruptcy administrator determines approved agencies cannot reasonably supply adequate services to the additional affected individuals. The determination must be reviewed within one year and at least annually afterward; an agency may be disapproved at any time. The exception requires that determination and the debtor’s residence in the district. S004 §109(h)(2)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C052 The §109(h)(3) temporary exception requires a certification describing exigent circumstances meriting waiver, stating that approved counseling was requested but unavailable during the seven-day period beginning with the request, and satisfying the court. It ends when counseling is completed and cannot extend beyond 30 days after petition filing, except for a court-ordered, for-cause additional 15 days. It is not an automatic grace period. S004 §109(h)(3)(A)(i)–(iii), (B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C053 Section 109(h)(4) requires a court determination after notice and a hearing of inability to comply because of incapacity, disability or active military duty in a combat zone. Incapacity requires the stated mental impairment preventing realization and rational financial decision-making. Disability requires physical impairment preventing participation, after reasonable effort, in an in-person, telephone or Internet briefing. No age-based or general inconvenience exception appears here. S004 §109(h)(4), complete concluding definitions. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C054 Section 303(a) separately restricts involuntary cases to Chapters 7 or 11 and an otherwise eligible person, excluding a farmer, family farmer and corporation that is not moneyed, business or commercial. That involuntary-petition restriction is not a universal voluntary Chapter 11 rule for every nonprofit. Petitioning-creditor qualifications and full involuntary litigation requirements were not converted into an eligibility or filing recommendation.

R039-P1-C055 Section 1181(a) disapplies §§105(d), 1101(1), 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1115, 1116, 1121, 1123(a)(8), 1123(c), 1127, 1129(a)(15), 1129(b), 1129(c), 1129(e), and 1141(d)(5) in a Subchapter V case. Section 109 is not in that list. S006 §1181(a), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C056 Unless the court orders otherwise for cause, §1181(b) also disapplies §1102(a)(1), (2), (4), §1102(b), §1103 and §1125. The “unless” condition matters; this is not an unconditional assertion that every referenced provision can never apply. S006 §1181(b), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C057 Section 1181(c) provides that, if a plan is confirmed under §1191(b), §1141(d) does not apply except as provided in §1192. This is recorded as an applicability boundary only. It establishes no confirmation, discharge or guarantor result in this pass. S006 §1181(c), complete. uscode.house.gov

1.4 Threshold adjustment, historical transitions and equality

Claim ID Supported proposition and limits Exact authority / source
R039-P1-C058 Section 104(a) adjusts the listed dollar amounts on April 1, 1998 and every three years afterward, using the change in CPI-U for the most recent three-year period ending immediately before the preceding January 1, rounded to the nearest $25. This rounding concerns the statutory adjustment; it does not authorize rounding a debtor’s debts to the nearest $25. S007 §104(a)(1)–(2). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C059 Section 104(b) requires Judicial Conference publication by March 1 of the adjustment year. Section 104(c) states that an adjustment does not apply to cases commenced before its effective date. This commencement trigger is separate from §101(51D)’s debt-measurement wording. S007 §104(b)–(c). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C060 The Judicial Conference notice dated January 30, 2025, published February 4, 2025, changes both occurrences of the §101(51D) amount from $3,024,725 to $3,424,000, effective April 1, 2025, excluding earlier-commenced cases. The February 25, 2025 correction changes two §1409 entries, not the §101(51D) amount. S008, 90 FR 8941–8942 and 10643. govinfo.gov+1
R039-P1-C061 The 2019 Judicial Conference notice, dated February 5 and published February 12, 2019, adjusted the §101(51D) amount from $2,566,050 to $2,725,625, effective April 1, 2019, without applying it to earlier-commenced cases. This was the relevant adjusted definition when Subchapter V began. S010, 84 FR 3488–3489. govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C062 The Small Business Reorganization Act was enacted August 23, 2019. Section 5 made it effective 180 days later; the historical official court notice identifies the effective date as February 19, 2020. Original §1182 used the small-business-debtor reference. The Act also added the election distinction and revised §101(51D), including the business-debt proportion and public-company provisions. S011 §§2(a), 4(a)(1)–(2), 5; S041, historical date clarification only. govinfo.gov+2
R039-P1-C063 CARES Act §1113(a)(1) temporarily replaced §1182(1) with a separate $7,500,000 definition, retaining the specified business-activity, debt-category, affiliate/insider exclusion and at-least-50% conditions, with its own exclusions. Section 1113(a)(3) applied that amendment only to cases commenced on or after March 27, 2020. The original sunset was one year after enactment. S012 §1113(a)(1), (3), (5), complete selected subsection (a). govinfo.gov+1
R039-P1-C064 Public Law 117-5, enacted March 27, 2021, changed the CARES threshold sunset from one year to two years after March 27, 2020. This produced the March 27, 2022 statutory reversion before the later restoration legislation. S013 §2(a)(1); S001 effective-date notes. govinfo.gov+1
R039-P1-C065 The 2022 Judicial Conference notice, dated January 31 and published February 4, 2022, changed the §101(51D) amount from $2,725,625 to $3,024,725, effective April 1, 2022, excluding cases commenced earlier. S009, 87 FR 6625–6626. govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C066 Public Law 117-151, enacted June 21, 2022, restored the separate $7,500,000 §1182 definition. Section 2(h)(2) applies the relevant amendments to cases commenced on or after March 27, 2020 and, for cases commenced before enactment, requires that they were pending on June 21, 2022. Accordingly, the 2022 interruption cannot be described without this retroactive/pending-case qualification. No actual pending-case status is established. S014 §2(d), (h)(2)(A)–(B). govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C067 The 2022 Act also inserted “under this title” into the affiliated-debtor group exclusion and replaced the broader affiliate-of-an-issuer exclusion with affiliation to the specified reporting corporation. These §101 changes were not undone by the §1182 sunset. Their applicability uses §2(h)(2), including its pending-case qualification. S014 §2(a), (h)(2), (i); S002 amendment notes and current (51D)(B). govinfo.gov+1
R039-P1-C068 Section 2(i)(1)(B) of the 2022 Act returned §1182(1) to the small-business-debtor reference on the date two years after June 21, 2022: June 21, 2024. The adjusted §101 limit was then $3,024,725. This establishes the text’s sunset; it does not by itself prove that every already-pending case lost an established election on that date. The statute contains no blanket factual determination of such cases. S014 §2(i)(1)(B); S001 notes; S009. govinfo.gov+1
R039-P1-C069 The 2022 Act added §1182(1) to §104’s adjustment references, effective on enactment. That surviving reference does not itself reinsert a dollar amount into the post-sunset §1182(1). S014 §2(b), (h)(1); S007; S001. govinfo.gov+2
R039-P1-C070 Under the adjustment schedule read, the next scheduled adjustment is April 1, 2028. Its amount is not established by the current statute, a forecast, or Form 201’s statement of the next adjustment date. Later legislation could also alter the governing scheme. S007 §104(a)–(c); S036 Q8. uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C071 The official enrolled H.R. 7730, metadata dated October 9, 2026, would replace §1182(1) with a separate $7,500,000 definition and the stated business, ratio, group and reporting-corporation exclusions. Section 3 would apply it to cases commenced on or after enactment. The Senate Record establishes Senate passage on September 28, 2026. These materials do not establish presidential approval, enactment date or a public-law number. Status for this report: enrolled text; enactment unverified; not applied as operative law. S039 §§1–3 and metadata; S043. Congress.gov status failed; S040 register did not resolve enactment. govinfo.gov+3
R039-P1-C072 The individual cap uses an inclusive upper boundary: counted debt equal to the applicable cap satisfies that dollar condition. The affiliated-debtor exclusion uses greater than, so equality alone does not trigger it. The business-debt condition is at least 50%, also inclusive. Passing these comparisons proves none of the other eligibility predicates and establishes no asset value, cash availability, solvency or affordability. S002 §101(51D)(A), (B)(i). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C073 Under §301, an eligible entity’s voluntary petition commences the case, and commencement constitutes the order for relief. Under §303, an involuntary petition commences the case, but the order-for-relief mechanism is separate, including §303(h). Section 102(6) refers to entry of the order. Commencement, petition filing and order entry therefore must not be treated as universally different or universally identical. S019 §301; S020 §303(b), (h); S003 §102(6). uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C074 Section 348(a) generally preserves the original petition, commencement and order-for-relief dates on conversion, except as provided in (b) and (c). Subsection (b) supplies specified order-date treatment for its enumerated provisions, subject to a for-cause order; (c) addresses §§342 and 365(d). Section 101(51D) is not among those enumerated provisions. A later conversion or election therefore cannot simply be assumed to restart §104’s commencement trigger or create a new debt-measurement event. Disputed conversion applications remain held.

1.5 Designation, election, objection, service and rule transitions

Claim ID Supported proposition and limits Exact authority / source
R039-P1-C075 Current Rule 1020(a) requires a voluntary Chapter 11 debtor to state in the petition whether it is a small business debtor and, if so, whether it elects Subchapter V. Stating status and making the election are separate entries. S015 Rule 1020(a), printed p.16 / PDF index 34. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C076 In an involuntary Chapter 11 case, Rule 1020(a) requires the same information in a statement filed within 14 days after the order for relief. The case proceeds according to the debtor’s statement unless and until the court orders that the statement is incorrect. Procedural treatment based on a statement is not a researched finding that every underlying predicate is true. S015 Rule 1020(a); S016 2022 note refers to order entry. uscourts.gov+1
R039-P1-C077 The United States trustee or a party in interest may object to the designation. Rule 1020(b) requires filing within 30 days after conclusion of the §341(a) creditors’ meeting or 30 days after filing an amendment to the designation, whichever is later. The rule says conclusion, not the first scheduled meeting date; the amendment trigger is filing, not service. S015 Rule 1020(b). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C078 Section 1109(b)’s nonexclusive party-in-interest list includes the debtor, trustee, creditors’ committee, equity-security-holders’ committee, creditor, equity security holder and indenture trustee. This does not mean any member of the public has Rule 1020 standing. The conditional 2025 amendment concerning a stablecoin regulator was observed but its effectiveness trigger was not resolved or used. S023 §1109(b), amendment/effectiveness note; S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C079 A Rule 1020 objection or request is governed by Rule 9014 and must be served on the debtor, debtor’s attorney, U.S. trustee, trustee, the Rule 1007(d) listed creditors or, if a §1102(a)(3) committee has been appointed, that committee or its authorized agent, and any additional entity the court orders. No actual committee, recipient, notice or service is established. S015 Rule 1020(c), complete. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C080 Rule 1007(d) calls for the list of the 20 largest unsecured claims, excluding insiders, with a voluntary Chapter 11 petition, or within two days after entry of a §303(h) order in an involuntary case. Twenty is a service-list parameter here, not a minimum or maximum creditor count for small-business eligibility. S015 Rule 1007(d), printed p.7 / PDF index 25. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C081 Section 1102(a)(3) prohibits appointment of a creditors’ committee in a small business or Subchapter V case unless the court orders otherwise for cause. Current §101(51D) no longer makes committee existence or activity a small-business-debtor criterion. The historical 2008 Rule 1020 note discussing that former criterion is not current substantive law. S023 §1102(a)(3); S016 2008 and 2022 notes; S011 §4(a)(1), (11). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C082 Rule 9014 requires relief in a contested matter by motion, with reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing. A response is required only if the court orders it. The motion uses Rule 9006(d)’s timing and Rule 7004’s service manner; later papers use the prescribed civil-rule service method. The listed Part VII rules apply subject to Rule 9014(c)’s exceptions and court orders. The rule does not itself decide the disputed eligibility merits. S015 Rule 9014(a)–(e), complete, printed p.136 / PDF index 154. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C083 Rule 7004 permits specified incorporated civil-rule service and, subject to its exceptions, recipient-specific first-class-mail service. Paragraph (g) additionally addresses service on a represented debtor’s attorney. Paragraph (h) generally requires certified mail addressed to an officer for an insured depository institution, with its attorney-appearance, court-order and written-waiver exceptions. Paragraph (i) addresses when an officer’s title suffices. The summons-issuance timing in (e) is not treated as an independent Rule 1020 motion deadline merely because Rule 9014 incorporates service manner. S015 Rule 7004(a)–(i), complete. Full recipient-specific operational service instructions and incorporated Civil Rule 4 applications remain held. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C084 For a period stated in days, Rule 9006(a) excludes the triggering day, counts intervening weekends/holidays, and carries a last day falling on a weekend/legal holiday to the next qualifying day. Clerk inaccessibility has separate rules unless the court orders otherwise. Electronic filing ordinarily ends at midnight in the court’s time zone; other filing ends at scheduled clerk closing, unless statute, local rule or order sets otherwise. “Next day” follows the direction of measurement. Legal holidays include the listed federal observances, President/Congress-declared holidays, and—when measuring after an event—specified state holidays. No actual calendar is calculated. S015 Rule 9006(a)(1)–(6), complete. Its hours rule was also read but is not substituted for the day-based Rule 1020 periods. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C085 Under Rule 9006(b)(1), a court may extend time for cause on a request made before expiration, with or without motion/notice, or on a motion after expiration if the failure resulted from excusable neglect. Rule 1020 is not among (b)(2)’s prohibited extensions or (b)(3)’s specially limited extensions; the 2008 Rule 1020 note expressly confirms (b)(1)’s applicability. An extension is not assumed. Rule 1007(d), by contrast, appears in (b)(2). S015 Rule 9006(b)(1)–(3); S016 2008 note. uscourts.gov+1
R039-P1-C086 Rule 9006(c) permits the court, for cause and with or without motion/notice, to reduce a prescribed period except for the enumerated prohibitions. Rule 1020 is not in that list. This authority supplies no actual reduction or order. S015 Rule 9006(c)(1)–(2). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C087 Rule 9006(d) ordinarily requires a written motion that cannot be heard ex parte, and notice of hearing, to be served at least seven days before the hearing, unless the court or rules set another period. A supporting affidavit accompanies the motion; a change may be ordered for cause on ex parte application. A written response ordinarily must be served at least one day before the hearing, except as Rule 9023 provides or the court allows otherwise. These hearing-service intervals do not replace Rule 1020(b)’s filing intervals. S015 Rule 9006(d)(1)–(2). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C088 Rule 9006(e) makes mail service complete upon mailing. Its (f) adds three days only where the period runs after service by mail or the specified Civil Rule 5 methods. Because Rule 1020(b) runs from meeting conclusion or amendment filing, a three-day addition is not automatically supplied by serving an objection or amendment by mail. S015 Rule 9006(e)–(f); Rule 1020(b). The last sentence is the direct trigger comparison. uscourts.gov+1
R039-P1-C089 Neither Rule 1020 nor Rule 9014, as read, expressly assigns the ultimate burden of proving §101(51D) eligibility. Silence in those rules is not proof that no burden exists. Judicial standards, disputed merits and remedies beyond the selected rule framework remain held. S015 Rules 1020, 9014, complete.
R039-P1-C090 Rule 1009(a) generally permits amendment of a voluntary petition, list, schedule or statement before closure, with notice to the trustee and affected entities; a party in interest may also seek a court-ordered amendment after notice and a hearing. The 2022 Rule 1020 note expressly leaves late Subchapter V election and its conditions unresolved. General amendment language is therefore not reported as a guaranteed late-election right. S015 Rule 1009(a), (d); S016 2022 note. uscourts.gov+1
R039-P1-C091 Section 341(a) ordinarily requires the U.S. trustee to convene and preside at a meeting within a reasonable time after the order for relief. Section 341(e) permits the court, on a party’s request after notice and a hearing and for cause, to dispense with a meeting if a plan was filed and acceptances solicited before commencement. Together with §1161’s railroad exception, this creates circumstances where the ordinary meeting-conclusion trigger cannot simply be assumed. No substitute deadline is invented. S022 §341(a), (e); S024; S015 Rule 1020(b). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C092 The Subchapter V election amendment to Rule 1020 took effect December 1, 2022. The restyled current rule was promulgated April 2, 2024, effective December 1, 2024, for later proceedings and pending proceedings insofar as just and practicable.

R039-P1-C093 The current official rules compilation is dated December 1, 2025. Its 2025 amendments concern Rules 3002.1 and 8006, not Rule 1020. The compilation date does not make historical committee-note criteria operative. S015 title and historical note; S038 current-rules page. uscourts.gov+1
R039-P1-C094 The April 8, 2026 Supreme Court order transmits amendments to Rules 1007, 2007.1, 3001, 3018, 5009, 9006, 9014 and 9017, and new Rule 7043, with an effective date of December 1, 2026, subject to the order’s applicability terms and later legal change. It does not amend Rule 1020. The selected future Rule 9006 and 9014 changes were read; they are not applied as current October 27 procedure. Future Form 101 changes likewise are not substituted for the current form. S018 order, selected clean amendments and notes, pending-amendments page. uscourts.gov+3
R039-P1-C095 Under 28 U.S.C. §2075, bankruptcy procedural rules may not abridge, enlarge or modify substantive rights. Proposed rules must be transmitted by May 1 and ordinarily cannot take effect before December 1. Rule or form language therefore cannot independently enlarge a statutory eligibility ceiling.

R039-P1-C096 Current Official Form 101 reviewed here is version 06/24, with an official effective date of June 22, 2024. Material fields include the chapter selection, prior/related-case questions, sole-proprietor/business information and Q13’s Chapter 11 small-business/election choices. They request declarations; they establish no actual eligibility, election, prior filing or case status. Only the identified material pages were read.

R039-P1-C097 Official Form 201 reviewed here is version 04/25, officially updated April 1, 2025. Q8 distinguishes debt-size information, small-business status and Subchapter V election, and separately asks about securities reporting and other matters. Entity/business-type, related-case, funds, creditor-count, asset and liability fields serve separate reporting functions. The complete four-page parsed form was read; nothing was entered or filed. S036, especially printed p.2 / PDF index 1, Q6–8; p.3 / index 2, Q10 and Q13–16. uscourts.gov+2
R039-P1-C098 Form 201 Q8’s debt-size checkbox uses “less than $3,424,000,” whereas §101(51D)(A) permits debt not exceeding the operative cap. Rule 9009(c) requires forms to be construed consistently with the Code and rules. The form does not turn the statutory inclusive boundary into a strict one. This report supplies no form-completion strategy for an equality situation. S036 Q8; S002 §101(51D)(A); S015 Rule 9009(c). uscourts.gov+2
R039-P1-C099 Closure or inactivity is not separately defined as an automatic inclusion or exclusion in the selected §101(51D) text. Whether particular continuing, winding-down or former activities satisfy its business-activity language remains a disputed-classification hold. No case-law consensus is supplied. S002 §101(51D)(A); C018, C027.
R039-P1-C100 For mixed debts, the counted-debt total and business-debt numerator must be separately characterized. Ownership of an entity does not by itself establish that its liabilities are the owner’s debts, that an owner’s liability is noncontingent/liquidated, or that it arose from the owner’s commercial/business activities. No universal result follows for individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits or groups. S002 §101(5), (12), (41), (51D); S004 §109. These are limits of the predicates read, not liability adjudications.
R039-P1-C101 Eligibility and election under the selected provisions do not establish plan confirmation, feasibility, discharge, lien treatment, guarantor release, tax consequences or that filing is appropriate. Section 1181 itself distinguishes the applicability of later plan/discharge provisions. Those parent matters remain excluded. S006 §1181; S005 §103(i); S004 §109.
R039-P1-C102 The historical interim Rule 1020 material addressed the temporary expanded §1182 route and contemplated termination with the statutory sunset. The current-rules landing page still displayed the historical $3,024,725 amount with a future-adjustment reference. That landing-page statement is not used to override the actual 2025 adjustment notice. No local adoption or local procedural effect is inferred.

R039-P1-C103 Section 101(49)’s security definition includes the listed notes, stock, treasury stock, bonds, debentures, collateral-trust and preorganization instruments, transferable shares, voting-trust and deposit certificates, qualifying investment/profit-sharing/mineral interests, limited-partner interests, commonly recognized securities and associated certificates/warrants/rights. Its exclusions include currency and specified payment instruments/letters of credit; §761 leverage transactions; commodity futures/forwards and specified commodity options; the specified nonregistered/nonexempt investment instruments; and trade indebtedness for goods or services. A voting-security or stockbroker predicate cannot be established merely by calling any financial instrument a security. S002 §101(49)(A)(i)–(xv), (B)(i)–(vii), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C104 The creditor, equity-security-holder and indenture-trustee roles have their own definitions. A creditor includes the specified pre-order claimholder, holder of the enumerated estate claims, or community claimholder. Equity security includes the specified corporate share/similar interest, limited-partner interest and nonconversion warrant/right; its holder must hold the debtor’s equity security. An indenture is the specified instrument with an outstanding claim, property-lien claim or equity security, excluding a voting-trust certificate; an indenture trustee is its trustee. No actual standing or claim validity follows from these definitions. S002 §101(10), (16), (17), (28), (29); S023 §1109(b).
R039-P1-C105 Section 302 provides for a joint case through a single petition by an eligible individual and that individual’s spouse; commencement constitutes an order for relief. The court subsequently determines the extent, if any, of estate consolidation. Joint filing is not itself proof of automatic substantive consolidation or a rule for resolving every §101(51D) aggregation issue. S019 §302(a)–(b), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C106 The financial-institution cross-references require legal characteristics beyond business names: FDIA §3(h) concerns insured-bank status; §3(d)(2) defines a State member bank; §101(54A) requires the stated lack of FDIC insurance for an uninsured State member bank; International Banking Act §1(b)’s agency/branch definitions distinguish their specified activities, including deposit-taking. No insurance, charter or branch fact is supplied. S002 §101(54A); S029, 12 U.S.C. §1813(a), (c), (d), (h); S030 §3101(1), (3), (7). uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C107 The New Markets Venture Capital cross-reference requires the statutory final-approval and participation-agreement predicates; the small-business-investment-company exclusion expressly uses SBA licensing under the referenced provision. Merely being an investment business or assisting small businesses proves neither category. Full program qualification and actual licensing were not investigated. S031, 15 U.S.C. §§689(4), (6), 681; S004 §109(b)(2). uscode.house.gov+2
R039-P1-C108 Section 761’s customer definition has separate branches for futures commission merchants, foreign futures commission merchants, leverage merchants, clearing organizations and options dealers. They concern the specified ordinary-course contract/account claims, making or liquidation/value changes, margin/security/delivery deposits, clearing-member property and, for options, exercise-related claims and deposits. The classification requires the applicable complete branch; an ordinary purchaser of goods is not deemed a customer under this section by this report. S027 §761(9)(A)–(E), complete; related (4)–(8), (11)–(14). uscode.house.gov+1
R039-P1-C109 Section 761(8) incorporates CEA definitions. The selected CEA definitions were read, including the futures-commission-merchant activity/property-or-credit conditions and registration alternative; derivatives-clearing organization functions and exclusions; and relevant commodity, future-delivery, board-of-trade and registered-entity terms. Regulatory powers and further incorporated product classifications prevent treating those selected definitions as a complete regulatory-status determination. S032, 7 U.S.C. §1a(6), (8), (9), (13), (15), (27), (28), (40); S027 §761(8).
R039-P1-C110 The Code notes concerning 2025 stablecoin amendments contain conditional effectiveness language tied to the earlier of the stated post-enactment period or a period following final regulations. That trigger was not established in this pass. No stablecoin classification or regulator-standing result is used to alter the core §101(51D), §109(d) or §1182 findings. S002 and S023 amendment/effectiveness notes; S032 related note. Status: effectiveness unresolved for the collateral material, not presumed operative or inoperative.

Chapter 11 debtor eligibility Does the relevant person satisfy §109(a), (d), incorporated (b), and applicable (g)/(h), plus the relevant voluntary/involuntary limitations? Passage through the selected Chapter 11 gateway. Small-business status; Subchapter V qualification/election; confirmation; suitability. C006–C018, C042–C054
Statutory small-business-debtor status Does §101(51D), with its definitions, measurement, ratio, cap and exclusions, apply? The statutory classification, subject to disputed facts and determination. That an election was made or correctly made. C019–C041, C060, C072
Subchapter V eligibility under the retrieved operative version Is the Chapter 11 debtor a §1182 debtor, currently defined by reference to §101(51D)? Qualification for the selected route, subject to all remaining predicates. Actual election or an entered judicial determination. C002, C004
Actual Subchapter V election and procedural treatment Was the required election stated under Rule 1020, and what is the effect of any objection/order? The rule’s stated procedural treatment unless/until an incorrect-designation order. Conclusive proof of eligibility, automatic late-election permission, or absence of other remedies. C075–C090
Historical expanded Subchapter V definition Did a temporary version of §1182 apply under its commencement, pending-case and sunset rules? Potential qualification under that historical separate definition. Statutory small-business-debtor status under the then-lower §101 limit. C063–C069
Enrolled 2026 proposal Has enactment and its effective date been established? Nothing operative in this report; enrollment and proposed text are established. A restored current $7.5 million limit. C071

2.2 Threshold chronology and transition qualifications

The following is a statutory-version comparison, not a determination for a historical or pending case.

Period or legal event §101(51D) adjusted amount relevant to newly commenced cases §1182 structure Material qualification Claims / sources
Subchapter V’s February 19, 2020 commencement through before March 27, 2020 $2,725,625 Reference to small business debtor SBRA’s original effective date and original definition. C061–C062 / S010–S011, S041
March 27, 2020 temporary expansion $2,725,625 Separate $7,500,000 definition CARES commencement trigger; historical affiliate/issuer wording must be distinguished. C063 / S012
March 27, 2021 extension Applicable §101 amount unchanged by this extension Temporary separate definition continued Sunset changed from one to two years after March 27, 2020. C064 / S013
March 27, 2022 reversion before April 1 adjustment $2,725,625 Reference restored at that stage Later 2022 retroactivity may affect covered cases pending on enactment. C064, C066 / S013–S014
April 1, 2022 adjustment, before June 21 restoration $3,024,725 Reference at that stage Do not describe the interval without the later pending-case restoration. C065–C066 / S009, S014
June 21, 2022 restoration $3,024,725 Separate $7,500,000 definition §2(h)(2)’s March 27, 2020 and enactment-pending conditions; revised affiliate/group exclusions. C066–C067 / S014
June 21, 2024 statutory sunset $3,024,725 Reference to small business debtor restored Original Act’s anniversary language controls the text transition. Agency/form dates do not themselves decide a boundary-day or pending-case dispute. C068 / S014
April 1, 2025 adjustment $3,424,000 Retrieved §1182 continues to refer to small business debtor Adjustment excludes cases commenced before April 1. This is the last verified operative limit, subject to C001/C071. C059–C060 / S007–S008
H.R. 7730 enrolled in 2026 No enacted change established here Would restore a separate $7,500,000 definition Proposed applicability is cases commenced on/after enactment; enactment unverified. C071 / S039–S040, S043
April 1, 2028 scheduled adjustment Amount unknown Depends on law then operative Schedule is known; future CPI-based amount and intervening legislation are not. C070 / S007

2.3 Different measurements must stay separate

Measurement Relevant legal category or event Distinction preserved
Individual dollar cap Counted noncontingent liquidated secured and unsecured debts, excluding affiliate/insider debts, at the applicable §101(51D)(A) event Not total assets, gross liabilities on an unrelated form, monthly payments or cash.
Business-debt proportion Counted debts arising from the debtor’s commercial/business activities divided conceptually by the counted debt category Not revenue, number of creditors or aggregate owner/entity activity. No division is performed here.
Related-debtor exclusion Aggregate debt of the specified affiliated Title 11 debtors Not an automatic sum of every related nondebtor entity; overlap and shared liabilities require resolution.
Inflation-version applicability Case commencement under §104(c) Not automatically election date, amendment date or conversion date.
Rule 1020 objection Meeting conclusion or amendment filing, whichever yields the later rule period Not first meeting setting, service date or an assumed mail extension.
Family-farmer exception within SARE Its own total-debt cap, qualifying-debt ratio, income years, ownership and asset-value conditions These separate tests must not replace the Subchapter V debt test.

Authorities: C028–C041, C058–C060, C072–C074, C077–C088.

No mathematical illustration is supplied. The report states the verified inclusive and strict boundaries, but performs no sum, ratio, calendar calculation or hypothetical filing model. Debt characterization, aggregation overlap and the applicable event remain unresolved inputs.

4. Substantive qualitative branches and branch-level coverage

Status key: Answered means the bounded published rule is established, while all actual application facts remain absent. Partial means an identified legal/currentness edge remains unresolved within the permitted source scope. No branch is a debtor classification.

Branch / coverage status Supported conditional rule and claim/source crosswalk Missing evidence Adverse inference to avoid Next permissible public-law inquiry
B01 — Chapter 11 person eligibility unknown. Answered. Apply person/corporation definitions, U.S. nexus, §109(d) and incorporated exclusions, plus applicable (g)/(h). C006–C012, C042–C053; S002–S004. Legal category, U.S. nexus and every exclusion/exception predicate. “Business” or “entity” automatically means eligible Chapter 11 person. Recheck current §109 and relevant complete §101 definition; use no entity records.
B02 — Statutory small-business status unknown. Answered. All §101(51D)(A) requirements and (B) exclusions must be addressed. C027–C041, C072; S002, S008. Activity, counted debt, ratio, relationships, SARE and reporting status. Small size, revenue or a low balance alone establishes status. Recheck §101(51D), §104 and final adjustment notices for amendments.
B03 — Subchapter V election unknown. Answered. §103(i) requires an eligible §1182 debtor’s election; Rule1020 specifies its statement. C002, C004, C075–C076; S001, S005, S015. Whether any petition/statement/election exists and what it states. Eligibility equals actual election. Read national Rule1020 and current official blank petition fields only.
B04 — Commencement/measurement event unknown. Partial. §104 uses commencement; §101(51D) uses petition/order wording; §§301–303 and 348 distinguish events. C029, C059, C073–C074, C105; S003, S007, S019–S021. Procedural posture, relevant event and applicable statutory version. Election or conversion necessarily resets all dates. Examine any later statutory amendment to those event provisions; hold disputed application.
B05 — Contingent/liquidated characterization unknown. Partial. Counted debt must be both noncontingent and liquidated; broad claim status is insufficient. C013–C014, C018, C028; S002. Liability, contingency and liquidation characterization. A disputed debt is automatically excluded, or a guarantee is always counted/always omitted. Recheck published statutory definitions; disputed judicial characterization remains held.
B06 — Secured/unsecured characterization unknown. Partial. Both categories count; §506(a) has its own allowed-claim and valuation predicates. C016–C017, C028; S002, S025. Claim allowance, collateral rights/value and appropriate classification. Subtract collateral value from the aggregate cap or omit secured obligations. Read any material amendment to §506(a); no collateral or property query.
B07 — Affiliate/insider counted-debt treatment. Answered. Exclude debts owed to qualifying affiliates/insiders; use complete relational definitions. C019–C026, C030; S002–S003. Voting power, exceptions, operational agreements, control/relative roles and debt direction. All related debt disappears, or family/business association alone settles every relationship. Recheck §101(2), (31), (45) and §102(3).
B08 — Aggregate related debt. Partial. Apply the separate group-of-affiliated-Title11-debtors exclusion and its counted categories. C032, C072; S002, S014. Which members satisfy the statutory group predicate, common liabilities and aggregation treatment. Automatically aggregate every nondebtor affiliate or double-count/offset shared liabilities without authority. Examine current statutory aggregation text; unresolved shared-liability interpretation stays held.
B09 — Business-debt ratio unknown. Answered, subject to characterization. At least50% of the counted category must arise from the debtor’s business/commercial activities. C031, C072; S002. Numerator attribution and denominator classifications. Use revenue, asset value, creditor count or another entity’s business activity as the denominator. Recheck §101(51D)(A); further judicial attribution questions remain held.
B10 — Exact-cap boundary. Answered. Equality passes the individual dollar prong and does not trigger the group’s “greater than” exclusion; all other conditions remain. C072, C098; S002, S015, S036. Exact legally characterized amount and applicable cap version. Form201’s “less than” changes the statute, or cap equality proves eligibility. Recheck statute, adjustment notice and Rule9009(c), not a completed form.
B11 — Temporary versus current threshold. Partial currentness. The temporary $7.5m rule sunset; last verified adjusted reference cap is $3.424m. Enrolled2026 text is not applied as law. C060–C071; S008–S014, S039–S040. Definitive later enactment status and applicable commencement facts. A familiar temporary cap remains effective indefinitely. Retrieve the latest official H.R.7730 actions and any enacted slip law through normal public access.
B12 — SARE. Answered, subject to facts. Apply every §101(51B) element plus §101(51D)’s primary-owning-business exclusion and family-farmer exception. C038–C041; S002, S008. Property/project structure, residential units, gross-income source, substantial activity and family-farmer predicates. One property or rental income automatically establishes SARE. Recheck §§101(18), (20), (21), (51B), (51D), without property searches.
B13 — Public-company/traded-security relationship. Partial classification. Reporting corporation and affiliate-of-reporting-corporation exclusions are separate from group bankruptcy aggregation. C033–C037; S002, S028. Actual legal reporting obligation and bankruptcy-law affiliation. Public trading alone is the entire test; every issuer affiliate remains excluded under current text. Read applicable generic SEC reporting/suspension regulations if further scope is authorized; no issuer-record search.
B14 — Closed/inactive business. Partial. Apply the business-activity predicate; the selected text supplies no universal closure rule. C018, C027, C099; S002. Legally relevant activity and timing characterization. Every closed business qualifies, or every closed business is disqualified. Check for statutory or official national-rule changes; judicial merits remain held.
B15 — Mixed personal/business debts. Partial. Separate counted debt from debt arising from the debtor’s activities; consumer-debt definition is distinct. C015, C028–C031, C100; S002. Nature, obligor and business attribution of each legally relevant category. All nonconsumer debt is automatically business debt, or all personal debt defeats eligibility. Recheck §§101(8), (12), (51D); no personal debt inventory.
B16 — Individual versus entity. Answered at framework level. Person/corporation definitions and individual-specific §109 gates apply as written; joint cases have §302 conditions. C006–C009, C049–C054, C105; S002, S004, S019–S020. Legal person category and relevant individual/entity predicates. Universal eligibility or ineligibility from sole-proprietor, nonprofit, corporation or partnership labels. Recheck the specific statutory category and §109; no formation or ownership record search.
B17 — Designation/election versus judicial determination. Answered. Rule1020 treatment follows the statement unless/until the court finds it incorrect; no express burden allocation is supplied by the selected rules. C076–C079, C089; S015. Statement, challenge and order facts, all held. A checked box or absence of a supplied objection is a judicial eligibility ruling. Review national Rule1020/9014 text; no docket inquiry or merits prediction.
B18 — Objection/extension/service triggers. Answered at national-rule level. Apply the later30-day event trigger, designated objectors, service list, contested-matter procedure and conditional extensions. C077–C088; S015–S016, S023. Conclusion, amendment-filing, hearing, service, court-order and local-rule facts. Count from first setting; add three days automatically; presume an extension or valid service. Recheck Rules1020,9006,9014,7004 and permitted generic local rules only in a separately scoped inquiry.
B19 — Unavailable current original/source history. Partial. Retrieved compilations and enrolled bills establish only their stated status; failed access is not absence of law. C001, C071; S037, S039–S040; F08–F09. Later slip-law bodies and definitive bill actions. A current crawl or publisher index supplies a complete enactment/citator audit. Retry official public-law and legislative-status bodies through ordinary public access.
B20 — Eligibility versus later outcomes. Excluded beyond boundary. Eligibility/election does not establish confirmation, discharge, feasibility or guarantor treatment. C055–C057, C101; S005–S006. All plan, claim, lien, guarantee and outcome facts; additional law outside scope. Eligibility is a recommendation to file or a promise of release/recovery. No further inquiry within this pass; a separately authorized component would require its own statutory framework.
B21 — Individual counseling/exception unknown. Answered at statutory level. Apply §109(h)’s individual-filed-petition wording and complete exceptions; none is automatic. C050–C053; S004, S033. Briefing, approval, request, district determination, certification and court-determination facts. Assume age, urgency, disability label or business debt excuses compliance. Recheck §109(h) and §111(a); no agency roster or actual record.
B22 — No §341 meeting / specialized route. Partial. §341(e) and §1161 can affect the meeting predicate; no substitute Rule1020 deadline is supplied here. C048, C091; S022, S024, S015. Applicable legal route and any authorized dispensation. Invent a conclusion date or treat an absent meeting as an unlimited objection period. Examine any national rule amendment specifically addressing the missing trigger; disputed procedure remains held.
B23 — Late election or amended designation. Partial. Rule1009’s general amendment permission does not resolve the late-election issue expressly left open by the2022 note. C090; S015–S016. Procedural posture and legal authority for the proposed late action. Guaranteed late election or automatic rejection in every circumstance. Read any later national Rule1020 amendment or official explanatory note; no case search.
B24 — Blank form versus substantive law. Answered. Forms request information and elections; Rule9009(c) requires consistency with statute/rules. C095–C098; S015, S034–S036. Every actual entry, filing, signature and legal classification. An official checkbox proves facts or changes equality at the cap. Recheck current blank form version and national instructions without entering information.
B25 — Future rules/forms. Answered as status distinction. The accessed2026 order specifies December1 effectiveness; it is not October27 procedure. C094; S018. Any subsequent order/legislation altering effectiveness. Apply future text early because it appears on an official current website. Recheck the promulgation order and official pending-amendment page.
B26 — Specialized financial institution or railroad. Partial. §109 contains specific categories and exceptions with incorporated definitions; the obsolete §409 reference and specialized railroad interaction remain unresolved. C043–C048, C106–C109; S004, S024, S026–S032. Statutory category and operative specialized exception history. All financial businesses are excluded, or an exception applies from a name alone. Read the relevant public statutory/repeal history and generic regulations; no institution, license or case query.

6. Numbered-question coverage and crosswalk

This table distinguishes an answered public-law question from the deliberately unperformed application to actual facts. The individual B01–B26 rows above also constitute the granular branch coverage table: each has a status, supported rule, claim/source crosswalk, missing evidence, inference restriction and next public-law inquiry.

7. Source-read and failure log

Log item Read or attempted source/action Outcome and treatment
F01 — Core statutory reading S001–S007 and supporting Code sections. Complete material bodies were read as stated in the registry. Long sections were read in selected complete subsections; no whole-Code or whole-history claim is made. Earlier and later views of the same provision are one authority, not independent corroboration.
F02 — §1182 retrieval failures Earlier version-specific §1182 and preliminary-view routes failed; the V134 body was recovered. A later direct V134 retry also failed, while reopening the retrieved source succeeded. Substantive findings use the successfully read body, S001 / turn178view4. The failed attempts are access events, not evidence of repeal or missing law.
F03 — Other Code recovery/version limits Direct current requests for §1161 and §761 failed; V124 §1161 and V121 §761 were read. §1185 first failed directly and was recovered through the official current-edition link. Older displayed compilation boundaries are retained in S024/S027. S042 is the recovered V134 body. No unexplained promotion of an older page to a complete current-history audit.
F04 — Original 2022 Act https://uscode.house.gov/statutes/pl/117/151.pdf failed. The complete Act was recovered from GPO at S014. Failure of one official host did not become a gap in the selected Act’s body.
F05 — Incomplete Federal Register packets Initial packets https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-02-04/pdf/2022-02419.pdf and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-02-12/pdf/2019-02075.pdf included preceding material and only the beginning of the relevant notice. They were not treated as complete notices. Complete instruments were recovered as S009 and S010. Unrelated adjacent material was excluded.
F06 — Repealed clearing-organization cross-reference Current §109’s reference note identifies former FDICIA §409 / 12 U.S.C. §4422 as repealed. Attempts to obtain the relevant §4422 body did not resolve its present operation. The special §109 language is reported exactly as an exception requiring further public-law history. No conclusion that the exception vanished or unquestionably remains usable is supplied.
F07 — PDF/form inspection limits Parsed Form101 and Form201 text was read. Screenshot requests returned only an image placeholder rather than inspectable image content. No pixel or visual-form inspection is claimed. Form201’s wording comparison is based on parsed material text. No form was filled, signed or transmitted.
F08 — H.R.7730 current status https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7730 and https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7730/all-actions returned restricted-fetch errors. The official House activity page rendered an unpopulated application shell. Enrolled text and metadata were read at S039; Senate passage item at S043. No security workaround was attempted. Enactment remains unverified. Search snippets and third-party status summaries were not used as substitute evidence.
F09 — Post-compilation public laws OFR register S040 listed PL119-135 and119-136. PDF and HTML bodies at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ135/pdf/PLAW-119publ135.pdf, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ136/pdf/PLAW-119publ136.pdf, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ135/html/PLAW-119publ135.htm, and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ136/html/PLAW-119publ136.htm were inaccessible. Congress.gov’s public-law list also failed. Register titles and dates were not used to assert that the unread laws contain no pertinent amendment. This is a disclosed currentness gap.
F10 — Historical/proposed/future separation S011–S014 historical legislation; S038 interim rule; S039/S044 enrolled/reported legislation; S018 future rules/forms. Historical text, expired expansion, enrolled proposal and future-effective rules are separately labeled. Neither a package filename nor an index heading was treated as an operative-law determination.
F11 — Search-result and adjacent-content discipline Generic searches sometimes returned unrelated case or nonprimary material; official pages sometimes included unrelated adjacent notices or navigation. Those materials were not used as substantive authority. No actual case, docket, debtor, issuer, provider, license, property or identifying record was queried.
F12 — Source history boundary Material source credits, amendments, effective-date notes, original threshold legislation and adjustment notices were read. This is a focused history sufficient to expose the identified transitions and gaps. It is not a full citator, exhaustive amendment history, session-law audit or judicial review.

8. Explicit unresolved points and researcher self-check

Material unresolved points

  1. Latest enactment status: H.R.7730’s enrolled text would materially change the Subchapter V threshold and break the current equivalence between §1182 qualification and §101(51D) status. Its enactment was not established. The report therefore uses $3,424,000 as the last verified operative threshold, while marking the October27 currentness question partial. C001, C071; B11, B19.
  2. Classification edges: The selected statutes do not settle every dispute over commercial/business activity, closure/inactivity, noncontingency, liquidation, business-debt attribution, group timing or overlapping liabilities. These remain holds; no actual cases or supposed case-law consensus were introduced. C018, C029–C032, C099–C100; B04–B09, B14–B15.
  3. Specialized excluded categories: The core §109 exclusions were read, including their exceptions and incorporated definitions. Complete securities-reporting regulation, specialized bank/clearing history, commodity regulation and railroad/Subchapter V interaction remain outside the resolved findings. C033–C048, C106–C110; B13, B26.

R039-P1-C001Most retrieved Code pages state that they contain laws in effect through Public Law 119-134, October 20, 2026. That is the compilation boundary, not proof that every later enactment or judicial development was audited. The OFR register accessed here was reviewed October 26 and listed laws through 119-136, approved October 22. Those later slip-law bodies and definitive latest status of H.R. 7730 were inaccessible. Consequently, the October 27 currentness conclusion is qualified.S037, S039–S040; failure log F08–F09. US Code +2
R039-P1-C002In the retrieved operative text, §1182(1) defines “debtor” as a small business debtor. It does not currently reproduce a separate $7,500,000 definition. The incorporated definition is §101(51D), including its exclusions and adjusted amounts.S001 §1182(1); S002 §101(51D); S014 §2(i)(1)(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C003Section 1182(2) defines “debtor in possession” as the debtor unless removed under §1185(a). Under that incorporated provision, a party in interest may request removal; after notice and a hearing, the court must order removal for cause, including fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, gross mismanagement before or after commencement, or failure to perform obligations under a confirmed Subchapter V plan. Section 1185(b) permits reinstatement on a party’s request after notice and a hearing. These are separate from initial eligibility and election.S001 §1182(2); S042 §1185(a)–(b). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C004Section 103(a) generally applies Chapters 1, 3 and 5 in Chapter 11, subject to §1161. Section 103(g) applies Chapter 11’s first three subchapters in Chapter 11 cases. Section 103(i) makes Subchapter V applicable only in a Chapter 11 case in which a debtor as defined in §1182 elects it. Eligibility under §109, qualification under §1182 and election are cumulative questions.S005 §103(a), (g), (i); S004; S024. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C005A statutory “small business case” is a Chapter 11 case whose debtor is a small business debtor and has not elected Subchapter V. A small business debtor that elects Subchapter V therefore should not be described as being in a “small business case” in this particular statutory sense.S002 §101(51C). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C006“Person” includes an individual, partnership and corporation, but excludes a governmental unit. The governmental-unit exceptions concern assets acquired through a loan-guarantee agreement or as receiver/liquidating agent, pension-benefit guarantees, and legal or beneficial ownership of assets of the specified governmental pension or eligible deferred-compensation plans. Those exceptions deem the governmental unit a person only for §1102, with respect to the asset or benefit. They are not a general Chapter 11 debtor-eligibility exception.S002 §101(41)(A)–(C), concluding language. Tax-plan qualifications incorporated there were not separately investigated. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C007“Corporation” includes an association possessing a private corporation’s relevant power or privilege; a partnership association organized under law making only subscribed capital responsible for its debts; a joint-stock company; an unincorporated company or association; and a business trust. It excludes a limited partnership from that definition, although a partnership remains separately included in “person.” A business label alone does not settle classification.S002 §101(9), (41). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C008“Entity” includes a person, estate, trust, governmental unit and United States trustee. The broader word entity does not establish that every listed entity is an eligible Chapter 11 person.S002 §101(15); S004 §109(d). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C009The general Code definition of “debtor” is a person or municipality concerning which a Title 11 case has commenced. That general definition does not replace the narrower definition applicable within Subchapter V.S002 §101(13); S001 §1182(1). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C010“Petition” means a petition under §§301, 302, 303 or 1504, as applicable, commencing a Title 11 case. The specific Chapter 11 commencement and order-for-relief consequences require the relevant provision; the general definition alone does not select a measurement date. Chapter 15 was not investigated.S002 §101(42); S019–S020. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C011“Governmental unit” covers the listed domestic and foreign governments and their departments, agencies and instrumentalities, with an exception for a United States trustee serving as trustee in a case. “Municipality” means a political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a State. Section 109(a)’s reference to municipalities does not itself authorize Chapter 11.S002 §101(27), (40); S004 §109(a), (d). uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C012Under §102, “includes” and “including” are nonlimiting; “or” is not exclusive; a claim against the debtor includes a claim against the debtor’s property; and an “order for relief” means its entry. These construction rules matter to the insider lists, alternative predicates and event distinctions.S003 §102(2), (3), (5), (6). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C013“Debt” means liability on a claim. It is not defined by the size of a payment, available cash, asset value or the amount someone informally calls “owed.”S002 §101(12); §101(51D)(A). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C014“Claim” includes a right to payment whether or not reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured. It also includes an equitable remedy for breach of performance if the breach gives rise to a right to payment, with the specified judgment, contingency, maturity, dispute and security alternatives. A disputed claim is not excluded from the broad claim definition merely because it is disputed.S002 §101(5)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C015“Consumer debt” is debt incurred by an individual primarily for a personal, family or household purpose. This definition does not say that every debt outside that category necessarily arose from the debtor’s commercial or business activities for §101(51D).S002 §101(8), (51D)(A). The second sentence is a textual scope inference. uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C016A “lien” is a charge against or interest in property securing payment or performance. A security agreement creates or provides for a security interest; a security interest is a lien created by agreement. A judicial lien arises through the specified judicial or equitable processes. A statutory lien arises by force of statute in specified circumstances, or is a distress lien for rent; it excludes security interests and judicial liens even where statute supports their effectiveness.S002 §101(36), (37), (50), (51), (53). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C017Section 506(a)(1) addresses an allowed claim secured by an estate-property lien or subject to §553 setoff: the claim is secured to the relevant collateral value or setoff amount and unsecured for the remainder. Valuation depends on its purpose and proposed disposition or use. Section 506(a)(2)’s personal-property replacement-value rule is expressly for individual Chapter 7 or 13 cases. It is not a universal Chapter 11 eligibility valuation rule.S025 §506(a)(1)–(2). No §553, allowance or disputed eligibility valuation result is supplied. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C018The selected statutory text does not supply general definitions resolving every use of “noncontingent,” “liquidated,” or “engaged in commercial or business activities.” No judicial gloss, consensus, guarantee classification or inactive-business rule is inferred. The existence of a broad §101(5) claim and its inclusion in the narrower §101(51D) calculation are separate questions.S002 §101(5), (12), (51D). This is a limit of the statutory findings, not a claim that interpretive law is absent.

R039-P1-C019Under §101(2)(A), an affiliate includes an entity directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding power to vote 20% or more of the debtor’s outstanding voting securities. The clause excludes holdings in a fiduciary or agency capacity without sole discretionary voting power, and holdings solely to secure a debt where that voting power has not actually been exercised.S002 §101(2)(A)(i)–(ii). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C020Section 101(2)(B) also covers a corporation whose outstanding voting securities are at least 20% directly or indirectly owned, controlled or held with voting power by the debtor, or by an entity with the specified 20% voting relationship to the debtor. The same fiduciary/agency and unexercised debt-security voting exceptions appear in this clause.S002 §101(2)(B)(i)–(ii). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C021Affiliation can also arise through operations: a person whose business is operated by the debtor under a lease or operating agreement; a person substantially all of whose property is operated under an operating agreement with the debtor; or an entity operating the debtor’s business or substantially all its property under a lease or operating agreement. Ownership percentage is therefore not the only statutory route.S002 §101(2)(C)–(D). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C022For an individual debtor, the insider list includes a relative of the debtor or of a general partner of the debtor; a partnership in which the debtor is a general partner; a general partner of the debtor; and a corporation of which the debtor is a director, officer or controlling person.S002 §101(31)(A); C012 makes the list nonexhaustive. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C023For a corporate debtor, insiders include its directors, officers and controlling persons; a partnership in which it is a general partner; its general partner; and a relative of a general partner, director, officer or controlling person.S002 §101(31)(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C024For a partnership debtor, insiders include a general partner in the debtor; a relative of a general partner in, general partner of, or controlling person of the debtor; a partnership in which the debtor is a general partner; a general partner of the debtor; and a person in control.S002 §101(31)(C). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C025For a municipality, the list includes an elected official or that official’s relative. Across the definition, it also includes an affiliate, an insider of an affiliate as if the affiliate were the debtor, and a managing agent of the debtor. The statutory list is nonexclusive; the report makes no nonstatutory-insider determination.S002 §101(31)(D)–(F); S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C026“Relative” means an individual related by affinity or consanguinity within the third degree, determined by common law, or within the corresponding step or adoptive relationship. No actual relationship is established.S002 §101(45). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C027Section 101(51D)(A), subject to all of subparagraph (B), requires a person engaged in commercial or business activities. It expressly includes an affiliate of that person that is also a Title 11 debtor and excludes a person whose primary activity is the business of owning single asset real estate. Neither “small business” branding nor ownership of a business substitutes for these predicates.S002 §101(51D)(A). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C028The individual debtor’s dollar test combines noncontingent, liquidated, secured and unsecured debts. Both noncontingency and liquidation are required for the counted category. Secured debt is not omitted simply because collateral exists.S002 §101(51D)(A); C013–C018. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C029Section 101(51D)(A) measures those debts as of the filing of the petition or the date of the order for relief. That wording does not authorize choosing whichever date produces a favorable result. Voluntary, joint, involuntary and converted proceedings require the relevant event provisions to be distinguished.S002 §101(51D)(A); S003 §102(6); S019–S021.
R039-P1-C030Debts owed to one or more affiliates or insiders are excluded from the stated §101(51D)(A) calculation. That exclusion does not erase the underlying liability and is not an exclusion of every debt merely connected with a related business.S002 §101(51D)(A), with §101(2), (31). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C031At least 50% of the debts described in §101(51D)(A) must have arisen from the commercial or business activities of the debtor. The statutory syntax connects the percentage to the counted debt category, including its exclusions. It is not a percentage of revenue, assets, creditors, payments or an owner’s combined financial affairs. Exactly 50% satisfies this proportion condition.S002 §101(51D)(A). Denominator identification is a direct textual reading; disputed attribution remains held. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C032Section 101(51D)(B)(i) excludes any member of a group of affiliated debtors under Title 11 whose aggregate noncontingent liquidated secured and unsecured debts exceed the applicable limit, excluding debt owed to affiliates or insiders. The group predicate is not triggered merely by the existence of a related nondebtor business. The clause does not state a separate revenue ratio or expressly repeat a separate measurement date. Shared-liability counting, group membership timing and disputed aggregation are not resolved here.S002 §101(51D)(B)(i); S014 §2(a)(1). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C033A debtor that is a corporation subject to Exchange Act §13 or §15(d) reporting requirements is excluded. The operative predicate is reporting status, not a general description such as “public company,” an exchange listing, or the existence of securities in the abstract.S002 §101(51D)(B)(ii); S028. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C034Any debtor that is an affiliate of a corporation described in C033 is also excluded. Unlike the group-debt clause, this clause does not require the reporting corporation itself to be a Title 11 debtor. The current clause is narrower than the historical “affiliate of an issuer” wording.S002 §101(51D)(B)(iii); S014 §2(a)(2). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C035Exchange Act §13(a) imposes specified information and periodic-report requirements on an issuer with a security registered under §12, subject to the statute and SEC rules. Its provisions concerning current information, annual/quarterly reports, exchange copies and emerging-growth-company accounting treatment were read. They do not establish any actual corporation’s reporting status. Full securities-registration and exemption analysis remains held.S028, 15 U.S.C. §78m(a), complete selected subsection. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C036Section 15(d)(1) covers specified pre-August 20, 1964 undertakings and later effective Securities Act registration statements. Its reporting duty is suspended while an issue is registered under §12; that does not establish freedom from §13 reporting. Its separate fiscal-year suspension excludes the registration-effective fiscal year and requires each relevant non-asset-backed class to have fewer than 300 holders of record at the year’s beginning, or the stated 1,200 threshold for the specified banking categories. Similar-character/right securities form a class; SEC rules may define record holding. Foreign-government and political-subdivision securities are excluded. Section 15(d)(2) separately authorizes conditional suspension/termination and classification for asset-backed securities. Actual status and incorporated banking classifications remain unestablished.S028, 15 U.S.C. §78o(d)(1)–(2), whole subsection. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C037The historical “issuer” cross-reference was to Exchange Act §3. Section 3(a)(8) generally concerns a person issuing or proposing to issue a security, with special treatment for specified trust/deposit certificates and equipment-trust arrangements. That historical issuer-based affiliation test must not be substituted for today’s reporting-corporation-affiliate test. No issuer classification is made.S028, 15 U.S.C. §78c(a)(8); S012 §1113(a)(1), (4)(A); S014 §2(a), (d).
R039-P1-C038“Single asset real estate” requires real property constituting a single property or project, other than residential property with fewer than four residential units, generating substantially all gross income of a debtor who is not a family farmer, with no substantial business conducted there other than operating the real property and incidental activities. The §101(51D) exclusion additionally asks whether the person’s primary activity is the business of owning that SARE. One property, four units or rental income alone does not complete the test.S002 §101(51B), (51D)(A). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C039The individual/family-spouse branch of “family farmer” requires engagement in a farming operation; aggregate debts within the separately adjusted family-farmer ceiling, $12,562,250 under the 2025 notice; at least 50% of aggregate noncontingent liquidated debts at filing arising from the owned or operated farming operation, excluding principal-residence debt unless it arises from that operation; and more than 50% of gross income from that operation for the preceding taxable year or each of the second and third preceding taxable years. These are separate denominators and periods from §101(51D).S002 §101(18)(A)(i)–(ii); S008 §101(18) adjustment. Included only because §101(51B) incorporates “family farmer.” uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C040The corporate/partnership family-farmer branch requires more than 50% of outstanding stock/equity held by one family or that family and relatives, who conduct the farming operation; more than 80% of asset value related to the operation; aggregate debt within the separate adjusted ceiling; and at least 50% of noncontingent liquidated debt at filing arising from its owned/operated farm. The specified owned dwelling used as a shareholder’s or partner’s principal residence is excluded unless its debt arises from farming. If the corporation issues stock, it must not be publicly traded.S002 §101(18)(B)(i)–(iii); S008. No Chapter 12 eligibility conclusion follows. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C041Outside the compound term “family farmer,” “farmer” requires more than 80% of gross income in the immediately preceding taxable year from a farming operation the person owned or operated. “Farming operation” nonexclusively includes farming, soil tillage, dairy farming, ranching, crops, poultry, livestock and unmanufactured poultry/livestock products. The farmer and family-farmer definitions are not interchangeable.S002 §101(20)–(21); S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov

R039-P1-C042Section 109(a) requires the specified U.S. connection: residence, domicile, place of business or property in the United States, subject to its separate municipality wording. It is an initial Title 11 gate, not the whole Chapter 11 test.S004 §109(a). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C043Section 109(d) permits the listed Chapter 11 categories: a railroad; a person eligible under Chapter 7 except a stockbroker or commodity broker; and the specified uninsured State member bank or Federal Reserve Act §25A corporation operating, or operating as, the referenced multilateral clearing organization. The ordinary Chapter 11 gateway contains no §101(51D)-style small-business dollar ceiling. Other applicable §109 conditions still matter.S004 §109(d), incorporating (b), with (a), (g), (h). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C044The incorporated §109(b)(2) exclusions enumerate domestic insurance companies; banks; savings banks; cooperative banks; savings-and-loan, building-and-loan and homestead associations; defined New Markets Venture Capital companies; SBA-licensed small business investment companies; credit unions; and industrial banks or similar institutions meeting the stated insured-bank qualifier. Its special clearing-institution exception includes a petition filed at Federal Reserve Board direction. Section 109(d)’s separate clearing-institution wording must also be read; it does not repeat that direction language.S004 §109(b)(2), (d); S029–S031. The present operation of the repealed §409 cross-reference remains held. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C045The foreign-institution exclusions cover a foreign insurance company engaged in that business in the United States and the listed foreign banking/credit-union categories having a U.S. branch or agency as statutorily defined. A foreign connection alone is not the stated test.S004 §109(b)(3)(A)–(B); S030, 12 U.S.C. §3101(1), (3), (7). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C046“Stockbroker” requires both a customer as defined in §741 and a business effecting securities transactions for others or with the general public for/from its own account. Section 741(2) includes specified claims arising from securities received, acquired or held in ordinary stockbroker business for safekeeping, sale, covering a consummated sale, purchase, collateral or transfer registration; sale/conversion of those securities; or deposits for securities purchase/sale. A label or isolated securities holding is insufficient.S002 §101(53A); S026 §741(2)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C047“Commodity broker” requires one of the listed §761 categories—futures commission merchant, foreign futures commission merchant, clearing organization, leverage transaction merchant or commodity-options dealer—and a §761 customer. The merchant, transaction and customer predicates were read, including the CEA terms incorporated by §761(8). This report does not equate an ordinary commercial commodity activity with that classification. Full regulatory classification remains held.S002 §101(6); S027 §761(2), (4)–(9), (11)–(14); S032. uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C048“Railroad” means the specified common carrier transporting individuals/property or an owner of trackage leased by such a carrier. Section 103(h) makes Subchapter IV applicable only to a railroad case, and §1161 removes specified provisions, including §341, in railroad cases. The interaction of that specialized route with a proposed Subchapter V election is not resolved merely by §109(d)’s railroad inclusion.S002 §101(44); S005 §103(h); S024 §1161. uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C049Section 109(g) bars an individual or family farmer who had a Title 11 case pending within the preceding 180 days if it was dismissed for willful failure to obey court orders or properly prosecute the case, or if the debtor requested and obtained voluntary dismissal following a request for stay relief. A prior dismissal of unspecified kind does not establish this bar. Full repeat-filing and stay consequences remain excluded.S004 §109(g)(1)–(2). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C050Section 109(h)(1), subject to its stated exceptions, requires an individual to have received an individual or group briefing from an approved nonprofit budget/credit-counseling agency during the 180-day period ending on the date the individual files the petition. The briefing may be by telephone or Internet and must outline available counseling and assist a related budget analysis. No briefing, approval, individual-filed petition or compliance fact is supplied.S004 §109(h)(1); S033 §111(a). No agency roster was searched. uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C051Section 109(h)(2) provides a district-based exception where the U.S. trustee or bankruptcy administrator determines approved agencies cannot reasonably supply adequate services to the additional affected individuals. The determination must be reviewed within one year and at least annually afterward; an agency may be disapproved at any time. The exception requires that determination and the debtor’s residence in the district.S004 §109(h)(2)(A)–(B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C052The §109(h)(3) temporary exception requires a certification describing exigent circumstances meriting waiver, stating that approved counseling was requested but unavailable during the seven-day period beginning with the request, and satisfying the court. It ends when counseling is completed and cannot extend beyond 30 days after petition filing, except for a court-ordered, for-cause additional 15 days. It is not an automatic grace period.S004 §109(h)(3)(A)(i)–(iii), (B). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C053Section 109(h)(4) requires a court determination after notice and a hearing of inability to comply because of incapacity, disability or active military duty in a combat zone. Incapacity requires the stated mental impairment preventing realization and rational financial decision-making. Disability requires physical impairment preventing participation, after reasonable effort, in an in-person, telephone or Internet briefing. No age-based or general inconvenience exception appears here.S004 §109(h)(4), complete concluding definitions. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C054Section 303(a) separately restricts involuntary cases to Chapters 7 or 11 and an otherwise eligible person, excluding a farmer, family farmer and corporation that is not moneyed, business or commercial. That involuntary-petition restriction is not a universal voluntary Chapter 11 rule for every nonprofit. Petitioning-creditor qualifications and full involuntary litigation requirements were not converted into an eligibility or filing recommendation.S020 §303(a), (b), (h); S002 §101(18), (20). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C055Section 1181(a) disapplies §§105(d), 1101(1), 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1115, 1116, 1121, 1123(a)(8), 1123(c), 1127, 1129(a)(15), 1129(b), 1129(c), 1129(e), and 1141(d)(5) in a Subchapter V case. Section 109 is not in that list.S006 §1181(a), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C056Unless the court orders otherwise for cause, §1181(b) also disapplies §1102(a)(1), (2), (4), §1102(b), §1103 and §1125. The “unless” condition matters; this is not an unconditional assertion that every referenced provision can never apply.S006 §1181(b), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C057Section 1181(c) provides that, if a plan is confirmed under §1191(b), §1141(d) does not apply except as provided in §1192. This is recorded as an applicability boundary only. It establishes no confirmation, discharge or guarantor result in this pass.S006 §1181(c), complete. uscode.house.gov

R039-P1-C058Section 104(a) adjusts the listed dollar amounts on April 1, 1998 and every three years afterward, using the change in CPI-U for the most recent three-year period ending immediately before the preceding January 1, rounded to the nearest $25. This rounding concerns the statutory adjustment; it does not authorize rounding a debtor’s debts to the nearest $25.S007 §104(a)(1)–(2). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C059Section 104(b) requires Judicial Conference publication by March 1 of the adjustment year. Section 104(c) states that an adjustment does not apply to cases commenced before its effective date. This commencement trigger is separate from §101(51D)’s debt-measurement wording.S007 §104(b)–(c). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C060The Judicial Conference notice dated January 30, 2025, published February 4, 2025, changes both occurrences of the §101(51D) amount from $3,024,725 to $3,424,000, effective April 1, 2025, excluding earlier-commenced cases. The February 25, 2025 correction changes two §1409 entries, not the §101(51D) amount.S008, 90 FR 8941–8942 and 10643. govinfo.gov +1
R039-P1-C061The 2019 Judicial Conference notice, dated February 5 and published February 12, 2019, adjusted the §101(51D) amount from $2,566,050 to $2,725,625, effective April 1, 2019, without applying it to earlier-commenced cases. This was the relevant adjusted definition when Subchapter V began.S010, 84 FR 3488–3489. govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C062The Small Business Reorganization Act was enacted August 23, 2019. Section 5 made it effective 180 days later; the historical official court notice identifies the effective date as February 19, 2020. Original §1182 used the small-business-debtor reference. The Act also added the election distinction and revised §101(51D), including the business-debt proportion and public-company provisions.S011 §§2(a), 4(a)(1)–(2), 5; S041, historical date clarification only. govinfo.gov +2
R039-P1-C063CARES Act §1113(a)(1) temporarily replaced §1182(1) with a separate $7,500,000 definition, retaining the specified business-activity, debt-category, affiliate/insider exclusion and at-least-50% conditions, with its own exclusions. Section 1113(a)(3) applied that amendment only to cases commenced on or after March 27, 2020. The original sunset was one year after enactment.S012 §1113(a)(1), (3), (5), complete selected subsection (a). govinfo.gov +1
R039-P1-C064Public Law 117-5, enacted March 27, 2021, changed the CARES threshold sunset from one year to two years after March 27, 2020. This produced the March 27, 2022 statutory reversion before the later restoration legislation.S013 §2(a)(1); S001 effective-date notes. govinfo.gov +1
R039-P1-C065The 2022 Judicial Conference notice, dated January 31 and published February 4, 2022, changed the §101(51D) amount from $2,725,625 to $3,024,725, effective April 1, 2022, excluding cases commenced earlier.S009, 87 FR 6625–6626. govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C066Public Law 117-151, enacted June 21, 2022, restored the separate $7,500,000 §1182 definition. Section 2(h)(2) applies the relevant amendments to cases commenced on or after March 27, 2020 and, for cases commenced before enactment, requires that they were pending on June 21, 2022. Accordingly, the 2022 interruption cannot be described without this retroactive/pending-case qualification. No actual pending-case status is established.S014 §2(d), (h)(2)(A)–(B). govinfo.gov
R039-P1-C067The 2022 Act also inserted “under this title” into the affiliated-debtor group exclusion and replaced the broader affiliate-of-an-issuer exclusion with affiliation to the specified reporting corporation. These §101 changes were not undone by the §1182 sunset. Their applicability uses §2(h)(2), including its pending-case qualification.S014 §2(a), (h)(2), (i); S002 amendment notes and current (51D)(B). govinfo.gov +1
R039-P1-C068Section 2(i)(1)(B) of the 2022 Act returned §1182(1) to the small-business-debtor reference on the date two years after June 21, 2022: June 21, 2024. The adjusted §101 limit was then $3,024,725. This establishes the text’s sunset; it does not by itself prove that every already-pending case lost an established election on that date. The statute contains no blanket factual determination of such cases.S014 §2(i)(1)(B); S001 notes; S009. govinfo.gov +1
R039-P1-C069The 2022 Act added §1182(1) to §104’s adjustment references, effective on enactment. That surviving reference does not itself reinsert a dollar amount into the post-sunset §1182(1).S014 §2(b), (h)(1); S007; S001. govinfo.gov +2
R039-P1-C070Under the adjustment schedule read, the next scheduled adjustment is April 1, 2028. Its amount is not established by the current statute, a forecast, or Form 201’s statement of the next adjustment date. Later legislation could also alter the governing scheme.S007 §104(a)–(c); S036 Q8. uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C071The official enrolled H.R. 7730, metadata dated October 9, 2026, would replace §1182(1) with a separate $7,500,000 definition and the stated business, ratio, group and reporting-corporation exclusions. Section 3 would apply it to cases commenced on or after enactment. The Senate Record establishes Senate passage on September 28, 2026. These materials do not establish presidential approval, enactment date or a public-law number. Status for this report: enrolled text; enactment unverified; not applied as operative law.S039 §§1–3 and metadata; S043. Congress.gov status failed; S040 register did not resolve enactment. govinfo.gov +3
R039-P1-C072The individual cap uses an inclusive upper boundary: counted debt equal to the applicable cap satisfies that dollar condition. The affiliated-debtor exclusion uses greater than, so equality alone does not trigger it. The business-debt condition is at least 50%, also inclusive. Passing these comparisons proves none of the other eligibility predicates and establishes no asset value, cash availability, solvency or affordability.S002 §101(51D)(A), (B)(i). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C073Under §301, an eligible entity’s voluntary petition commences the case, and commencement constitutes the order for relief. Under §303, an involuntary petition commences the case, but the order-for-relief mechanism is separate, including §303(h). Section 102(6) refers to entry of the order. Commencement, petition filing and order entry therefore must not be treated as universally different or universally identical.S019 §301; S020 §303(b), (h); S003 §102(6). uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C074Section 348(a) generally preserves the original petition, commencement and order-for-relief dates on conversion, except as provided in (b) and (c). Subsection (b) supplies specified order-date treatment for its enumerated provisions, subject to a for-cause order; (c) addresses §§342 and 365(d). Section 101(51D) is not among those enumerated provisions. A later conversion or election therefore cannot simply be assumed to restart §104’s commencement trigger or create a new debt-measurement event. Disputed conversion applications remain held.S021 §348(a)–(c), complete; S007 §104(c). uscode.house.gov

R039-P1-C075Current Rule 1020(a) requires a voluntary Chapter 11 debtor to state in the petition whether it is a small business debtor and, if so, whether it elects Subchapter V. Stating status and making the election are separate entries.S015 Rule 1020(a), printed p.16 / PDF index 34. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C076In an involuntary Chapter 11 case, Rule 1020(a) requires the same information in a statement filed within 14 days after the order for relief. The case proceeds according to the debtor’s statement unless and until the court orders that the statement is incorrect. Procedural treatment based on a statement is not a researched finding that every underlying predicate is true.S015 Rule 1020(a); S016 2022 note refers to order entry. uscourts.gov +1
R039-P1-C077The United States trustee or a party in interest may object to the designation. Rule 1020(b) requires filing within 30 days after conclusion of the §341(a) creditors’ meeting or 30 days after filing an amendment to the designation, whichever is later. The rule says conclusion, not the first scheduled meeting date; the amendment trigger is filing, not service.S015 Rule 1020(b). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C078Section 1109(b)’s nonexclusive party-in-interest list includes the debtor, trustee, creditors’ committee, equity-security-holders’ committee, creditor, equity security holder and indenture trustee. This does not mean any member of the public has Rule 1020 standing. The conditional 2025 amendment concerning a stablecoin regulator was observed but its effectiveness trigger was not resolved or used.S023 §1109(b), amendment/effectiveness note; S003 §102(3). uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C079A Rule 1020 objection or request is governed by Rule 9014 and must be served on the debtor, debtor’s attorney, U.S. trustee, trustee, the Rule 1007(d) listed creditors or, if a §1102(a)(3) committee has been appointed, that committee or its authorized agent, and any additional entity the court orders. No actual committee, recipient, notice or service is established.S015 Rule 1020(c), complete. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C080Rule 1007(d) calls for the list of the 20 largest unsecured claims, excluding insiders, with a voluntary Chapter 11 petition, or within two days after entry of a §303(h) order in an involuntary case. Twenty is a service-list parameter here, not a minimum or maximum creditor count for small-business eligibility.S015 Rule 1007(d), printed p.7 / PDF index 25. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C081Section 1102(a)(3) prohibits appointment of a creditors’ committee in a small business or Subchapter V case unless the court orders otherwise for cause. Current §101(51D) no longer makes committee existence or activity a small-business-debtor criterion. The historical 2008 Rule 1020 note discussing that former criterion is not current substantive law.S023 §1102(a)(3); S016 2008 and 2022 notes; S011 §4(a)(1), (11). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C082Rule 9014 requires relief in a contested matter by motion, with reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing. A response is required only if the court orders it. The motion uses Rule 9006(d)’s timing and Rule 7004’s service manner; later papers use the prescribed civil-rule service method. The listed Part VII rules apply subject to Rule 9014(c)’s exceptions and court orders. The rule does not itself decide the disputed eligibility merits.S015 Rule 9014(a)–(e), complete, printed p.136 / PDF index 154. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C083Rule 7004 permits specified incorporated civil-rule service and, subject to its exceptions, recipient-specific first-class-mail service. Paragraph (g) additionally addresses service on a represented debtor’s attorney. Paragraph (h) generally requires certified mail addressed to an officer for an insured depository institution, with its attorney-appearance, court-order and written-waiver exceptions. Paragraph (i) addresses when an officer’s title suffices. The summons-issuance timing in (e) is not treated as an independent Rule 1020 motion deadline merely because Rule 9014 incorporates service manner.S015 Rule 7004(a)–(i), complete. Full recipient-specific operational service instructions and incorporated Civil Rule 4 applications remain held. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C084For a period stated in days, Rule 9006(a) excludes the triggering day, counts intervening weekends/holidays, and carries a last day falling on a weekend/legal holiday to the next qualifying day. Clerk inaccessibility has separate rules unless the court orders otherwise. Electronic filing ordinarily ends at midnight in the court’s time zone; other filing ends at scheduled clerk closing, unless statute, local rule or order sets otherwise. “Next day” follows the direction of measurement. Legal holidays include the listed federal observances, President/Congress-declared holidays, and—when measuring after an event—specified state holidays. No actual calendar is calculated.S015 Rule 9006(a)(1)–(6), complete. Its hours rule was also read but is not substituted for the day-based Rule 1020 periods. uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C085Under Rule 9006(b)(1), a court may extend time for cause on a request made before expiration, with or without motion/notice, or on a motion after expiration if the failure resulted from excusable neglect. Rule 1020 is not among (b)(2)’s prohibited extensions or (b)(3)’s specially limited extensions; the 2008 Rule 1020 note expressly confirms (b)(1)’s applicability. An extension is not assumed. Rule 1007(d), by contrast, appears in (b)(2).S015 Rule 9006(b)(1)–(3); S016 2008 note. uscourts.gov +1
R039-P1-C086Rule 9006(c) permits the court, for cause and with or without motion/notice, to reduce a prescribed period except for the enumerated prohibitions. Rule 1020 is not in that list. This authority supplies no actual reduction or order.S015 Rule 9006(c)(1)–(2). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C087Rule 9006(d) ordinarily requires a written motion that cannot be heard ex parte, and notice of hearing, to be served at least seven days before the hearing, unless the court or rules set another period. A supporting affidavit accompanies the motion; a change may be ordered for cause on ex parte application. A written response ordinarily must be served at least one day before the hearing, except as Rule 9023 provides or the court allows otherwise. These hearing-service intervals do not replace Rule 1020(b)’s filing intervals.S015 Rule 9006(d)(1)–(2). uscourts.gov
R039-P1-C088Rule 9006(e) makes mail service complete upon mailing. Its (f) adds three days only where the period runs after service by mail or the specified Civil Rule 5 methods. Because Rule 1020(b) runs from meeting conclusion or amendment filing, a three-day addition is not automatically supplied by serving an objection or amendment by mail.S015 Rule 9006(e)–(f); Rule 1020(b). The last sentence is the direct trigger comparison. uscourts.gov +1
R039-P1-C089Neither Rule 1020 nor Rule 9014, as read, expressly assigns the ultimate burden of proving §101(51D) eligibility. Silence in those rules is not proof that no burden exists. Judicial standards, disputed merits and remedies beyond the selected rule framework remain held.S015 Rules 1020, 9014, complete.
R039-P1-C090Rule 1009(a) generally permits amendment of a voluntary petition, list, schedule or statement before closure, with notice to the trustee and affected entities; a party in interest may also seek a court-ordered amendment after notice and a hearing. The 2022 Rule 1020 note expressly leaves late Subchapter V election and its conditions unresolved. General amendment language is therefore not reported as a guaranteed late-election right.S015 Rule 1009(a), (d); S016 2022 note. uscourts.gov +1
R039-P1-C091Section 341(a) ordinarily requires the U.S. trustee to convene and preside at a meeting within a reasonable time after the order for relief. Section 341(e) permits the court, on a party’s request after notice and a hearing and for cause, to dispense with a meeting if a plan was filed and acceptances solicited before commencement. Together with §1161’s railroad exception, this creates circumstances where the ordinary meeting-conclusion trigger cannot simply be assumed. No substitute deadline is invented.S022 §341(a), (e); S024; S015 Rule 1020(b). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C092The Subchapter V election amendment to Rule 1020 took effect December 1, 2022. The restyled current rule was promulgated April 2, 2024, effective December 1, 2024, for later proceedings and pending proceedings insofar as just and practicable. The 2024 note says the restyling was intended to be stylistic.S015 history; S016 notes; S017 bankruptcy promulgation order. uscourts.gov +2
R039-P1-C093The current official rules compilation is dated December 1, 2025. Its 2025 amendments concern Rules 3002.1 and 8006, not Rule 1020. The compilation date does not make historical committee-note criteria operative.S015 title and historical note; S038 current-rules page. uscourts.gov +1
R039-P1-C094The April 8, 2026 Supreme Court order transmits amendments to Rules 1007, 2007.1, 3001, 3018, 5009, 9006, 9014 and 9017, and new Rule 7043, with an effective date of December 1, 2026, subject to the order’s applicability terms and later legal change. It does not amend Rule 1020. The selected future Rule 9006 and 9014 changes were read; they are not applied as current October 27 procedure. Future Form 101 changes likewise are not substituted for the current form.S018 order, selected clean amendments and notes, pending-amendments page. uscourts.gov +3
R039-P1-C095Under 28 U.S.C. §2075, bankruptcy procedural rules may not abridge, enlarge or modify substantive rights. Proposed rules must be transmitted by May 1 and ordinarily cannot take effect before December 1. Rule or form language therefore cannot independently enlarge a statutory eligibility ceiling.S034 §2075, complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C096Current Official Form 101 reviewed here is version 06/24, with an official effective date of June 22, 2024. Material fields include the chapter selection, prior/related-case questions, sole-proprietor/business information and Q13’s Chapter 11 small-business/election choices. They request declarations; they establish no actual eligibility, election, prior filing or case status. Only the identified material pages were read.S035, printed pp.3–4 / PDF indices 2–3; selected counseling page p.6 / index 5. uscourts.gov +2
R039-P1-C097Official Form 201 reviewed here is version 04/25, officially updated April 1, 2025. Q8 distinguishes debt-size information, small-business status and Subchapter V election, and separately asks about securities reporting and other matters. Entity/business-type, related-case, funds, creditor-count, asset and liability fields serve separate reporting functions. The complete four-page parsed form was read; nothing was entered or filed.S036, especially printed p.2 / PDF index 1, Q6–8; p.3 / index 2, Q10 and Q13–16. uscourts.gov +2
R039-P1-C098Form 201 Q8’s debt-size checkbox uses “less than $3,424,000,” whereas §101(51D)(A) permits debt not exceeding the operative cap. Rule 9009(c) requires forms to be construed consistently with the Code and rules. The form does not turn the statutory inclusive boundary into a strict one. This report supplies no form-completion strategy for an equality situation.S036 Q8; S002 §101(51D)(A); S015 Rule 9009(c). uscourts.gov +2
R039-P1-C099Closure or inactivity is not separately defined as an automatic inclusion or exclusion in the selected §101(51D) text. Whether particular continuing, winding-down or former activities satisfy its business-activity language remains a disputed-classification hold. No case-law consensus is supplied.S002 §101(51D)(A); C018, C027.
R039-P1-C100For mixed debts, the counted-debt total and business-debt numerator must be separately characterized. Ownership of an entity does not by itself establish that its liabilities are the owner’s debts, that an owner’s liability is noncontingent/liquidated, or that it arose from the owner’s commercial/business activities. No universal result follows for individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits or groups.S002 §101(5), (12), (41), (51D); S004 §109. These are limits of the predicates read, not liability adjudications.
R039-P1-C101Eligibility and election under the selected provisions do not establish plan confirmation, feasibility, discharge, lien treatment, guarantor release, tax consequences or that filing is appropriate. Section 1181 itself distinguishes the applicability of later plan/discharge provisions. Those parent matters remain excluded.S006 §1181; S005 §103(i); S004 §109.
R039-P1-C102The historical interim Rule 1020 material addressed the temporary expanded §1182 route and contemplated termination with the statutory sunset. The current-rules landing page still displayed the historical $3,024,725 amount with a future-adjustment reference. That landing-page statement is not used to override the actual 2025 adjustment notice. No local adoption or local procedural effect is inferred.S038 interim rule and landing-page body; S008. uscourts.gov +2

R039-P1-C103Section 101(49)’s security definition includes the listed notes, stock, treasury stock, bonds, debentures, collateral-trust and preorganization instruments, transferable shares, voting-trust and deposit certificates, qualifying investment/profit-sharing/mineral interests, limited-partner interests, commonly recognized securities and associated certificates/warrants/rights. Its exclusions include currency and specified payment instruments/letters of credit; §761 leverage transactions; commodity futures/forwards and specified commodity options; the specified nonregistered/nonexempt investment instruments; and trade indebtedness for goods or services. A voting-security or stockbroker predicate cannot be established merely by calling any financial instrument a security.S002 §101(49)(A)(i)–(xv), (B)(i)–(vii), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C104The creditor, equity-security-holder and indenture-trustee roles have their own definitions. A creditor includes the specified pre-order claimholder, holder of the enumerated estate claims, or community claimholder. Equity security includes the specified corporate share/similar interest, limited-partner interest and nonconversion warrant/right; its holder must hold the debtor’s equity security. An indenture is the specified instrument with an outstanding claim, property-lien claim or equity security, excluding a voting-trust certificate; an indenture trustee is its trustee. No actual standing or claim validity follows from these definitions.S002 §101(10), (16), (17), (28), (29); S023 §1109(b).
R039-P1-C105Section 302 provides for a joint case through a single petition by an eligible individual and that individual’s spouse; commencement constitutes an order for relief. The court subsequently determines the extent, if any, of estate consolidation. Joint filing is not itself proof of automatic substantive consolidation or a rule for resolving every §101(51D) aggregation issue.S019 §302(a)–(b), complete. uscode.house.gov
R039-P1-C106The financial-institution cross-references require legal characteristics beyond business names: FDIA §3(h) concerns insured-bank status; §3(d)(2) defines a State member bank; §101(54A) requires the stated lack of FDIC insurance for an uninsured State member bank; International Banking Act §1(b)’s agency/branch definitions distinguish their specified activities, including deposit-taking. No insurance, charter or branch fact is supplied.S002 §101(54A); S029, 12 U.S.C. §1813(a), (c), (d), (h); S030 §3101(1), (3), (7). uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C107The New Markets Venture Capital cross-reference requires the statutory final-approval and participation-agreement predicates; the small-business-investment-company exclusion expressly uses SBA licensing under the referenced provision. Merely being an investment business or assisting small businesses proves neither category. Full program qualification and actual licensing were not investigated.S031, 15 U.S.C. §§689(4), (6), 681; S004 §109(b)(2). uscode.house.gov +2
R039-P1-C108Section 761’s customer definition has separate branches for futures commission merchants, foreign futures commission merchants, leverage merchants, clearing organizations and options dealers. They concern the specified ordinary-course contract/account claims, making or liquidation/value changes, margin/security/delivery deposits, clearing-member property and, for options, exercise-related claims and deposits. The classification requires the applicable complete branch; an ordinary purchaser of goods is not deemed a customer under this section by this report.S027 §761(9)(A)–(E), complete; related (4)–(8), (11)–(14). uscode.house.gov +1
R039-P1-C109Section 761(8) incorporates CEA definitions. The selected CEA definitions were read, including the futures-commission-merchant activity/property-or-credit conditions and registration alternative; derivatives-clearing organization functions and exclusions; and relevant commodity, future-delivery, board-of-trade and registered-entity terms. Regulatory powers and further incorporated product classifications prevent treating those selected definitions as a complete regulatory-status determination.S032, 7 U.S.C. §1a(6), (8), (9), (13), (15), (27), (28), (40); S027 §761(8).
R039-P1-C110The Code notes concerning 2025 stablecoin amendments contain conditional effectiveness language tied to the earlier of the stated post-enactment period or a period following final regulations. That trigger was not established in this pass. No stablecoin classification or regulator-standing result is used to alter the core §101(51D), §109(d) or §1182 findings.S002 and S023 amendment/effectiveness notes; S032 related note. Status: effectiveness unresolved for the collateral material, not presumed operative or inoperative.

Branch / coverage statusSupported conditional rule and claim/source crosswalkMissing evidenceAdverse inference to avoidNext permissible public-law inquiry
B01 — Chapter 11 person eligibility unknown. Answered.Apply person/corporation definitions, U.S. nexus, §109(d) and incorporated exclusions, plus applicable (g)/(h). C006–C012, C042–C053; S002–S004.Legal category, U.S. nexus and every exclusion/exception predicate.“Business” or “entity” automatically means eligible Chapter 11 person.Recheck current §109 and relevant complete §101 definition; use no entity records.
B02 — Statutory small-business status unknown. Answered.All §101(51D)(A) requirements and (B) exclusions must be addressed. C027–C041, C072; S002, S008.Activity, counted debt, ratio, relationships, SARE and reporting status.Small size, revenue or a low balance alone establishes status.Recheck §101(51D), §104 and final adjustment notices for amendments.
B03 — Subchapter V election unknown. Answered.§103(i) requires an eligible §1182 debtor’s election; Rule1020 specifies its statement. C002, C004, C075–C076; S001, S005, S015.Whether any petition/statement/election exists and what it states.Eligibility equals actual election.Read national Rule1020 and current official blank petition fields only.
B04 — Commencement/measurement event unknown. Partial.§104 uses commencement; §101(51D) uses petition/order wording; §§301–303 and 348 distinguish events. C029, C059, C073–C074, C105; S003, S007, S019–S021.Procedural posture, relevant event and applicable statutory version.Election or conversion necessarily resets all dates.Examine any later statutory amendment to those event provisions; hold disputed application.
B05 — Contingent/liquidated characterization unknown. Partial.Counted debt must be both noncontingent and liquidated; broad claim status is insufficient. C013–C014, C018, C028; S002.Liability, contingency and liquidation characterization.A disputed debt is automatically excluded, or a guarantee is always counted/always omitted.Recheck published statutory definitions; disputed judicial characterization remains held.
B06 — Secured/unsecured characterization unknown. Partial.Both categories count; §506(a) has its own allowed-claim and valuation predicates. C016–C017, C028; S002, S025.Claim allowance, collateral rights/value and appropriate classification.Subtract collateral value from the aggregate cap or omit secured obligations.Read any material amendment to §506(a); no collateral or property query.
B07 — Affiliate/insider counted-debt treatment. Answered.Exclude debts owed to qualifying affiliates/insiders; use complete relational definitions. C019–C026, C030; S002–S003.Voting power, exceptions, operational agreements, control/relative roles and debt direction.All related debt disappears, or family/business association alone settles every relationship.Recheck §101(2), (31), (45) and §102(3).
B08 — Aggregate related debt. Partial.Apply the separate group-of-affiliated-Title11-debtors exclusion and its counted categories. C032, C072; S002, S014.Which members satisfy the statutory group predicate, common liabilities and aggregation treatment.Automatically aggregate every nondebtor affiliate or double-count/offset shared liabilities without authority.Examine current statutory aggregation text; unresolved shared-liability interpretation stays held.
B09 — Business-debt ratio unknown. Answered, subject to characterization.At least50% of the counted category must arise from the debtor’s business/commercial activities. C031, C072; S002.Numerator attribution and denominator classifications.Use revenue, asset value, creditor count or another entity’s business activity as the denominator.Recheck §101(51D)(A); further judicial attribution questions remain held.
B10 — Exact-cap boundary. Answered.Equality passes the individual dollar prong and does not trigger the group’s “greater than” exclusion; all other conditions remain. C072, C098; S002, S015, S036.Exact legally characterized amount and applicable cap version.Form201’s “less than” changes the statute, or cap equality proves eligibility.Recheck statute, adjustment notice and Rule9009(c), not a completed form.
B11 — Temporary versus current threshold. Partial currentness.The temporary $7.5m rule sunset; last verified adjusted reference cap is $3.424m. Enrolled2026 text is not applied as law. C060–C071; S008–S014, S039–S040.Definitive later enactment status and applicable commencement facts.A familiar temporary cap remains effective indefinitely.Retrieve the latest official H.R.7730 actions and any enacted slip law through normal public access.
B12 — SARE. Answered, subject to facts.Apply every §101(51B) element plus §101(51D)’s primary-owning-business exclusion and family-farmer exception. C038–C041; S002, S008.Property/project structure, residential units, gross-income source, substantial activity and family-farmer predicates.One property or rental income automatically establishes SARE.Recheck §§101(18), (20), (21), (51B), (51D), without property searches.
B13 — Public-company/traded-security relationship. Partial classification.Reporting corporation and affiliate-of-reporting-corporation exclusions are separate from group bankruptcy aggregation. C033–C037; S002, S028.Actual legal reporting obligation and bankruptcy-law affiliation.Public trading alone is the entire test; every issuer affiliate remains excluded under current text.Read applicable generic SEC reporting/suspension regulations if further scope is authorized; no issuer-record search.
B14 — Closed/inactive business. Partial.Apply the business-activity predicate; the selected text supplies no universal closure rule. C018, C027, C099; S002.Legally relevant activity and timing characterization.Every closed business qualifies, or every closed business is disqualified.Check for statutory or official national-rule changes; judicial merits remain held.
B15 — Mixed personal/business debts. Partial.Separate counted debt from debt arising from the debtor’s activities; consumer-debt definition is distinct. C015, C028–C031, C100; S002.Nature, obligor and business attribution of each legally relevant category.All nonconsumer debt is automatically business debt, or all personal debt defeats eligibility.Recheck §§101(8), (12), (51D); no personal debt inventory.
B16 — Individual versus entity. Answered at framework level.Person/corporation definitions and individual-specific §109 gates apply as written; joint cases have §302 conditions. C006–C009, C049–C054, C105; S002, S004, S019–S020.Legal person category and relevant individual/entity predicates.Universal eligibility or ineligibility from sole-proprietor, nonprofit, corporation or partnership labels.Recheck the specific statutory category and §109; no formation or ownership record search.
B17 — Designation/election versus judicial determination. Answered.Rule1020 treatment follows the statement unless/until the court finds it incorrect; no express burden allocation is supplied by the selected rules. C076–C079, C089; S015.Statement, challenge and order facts, all held.A checked box or absence of a supplied objection is a judicial eligibility ruling.Review national Rule1020/9014 text; no docket inquiry or merits prediction.
B18 — Objection/extension/service triggers. Answered at national-rule level.Apply the later30-day event trigger, designated objectors, service list, contested-matter procedure and conditional extensions. C077–C088; S015–S016, S023.Conclusion, amendment-filing, hearing, service, court-order and local-rule facts.Count from first setting; add three days automatically; presume an extension or valid service.Recheck Rules1020,9006,9014,7004 and permitted generic local rules only in a separately scoped inquiry.
B19 — Unavailable current original/source history. Partial.Retrieved compilations and enrolled bills establish only their stated status; failed access is not absence of law. C001, C071; S037, S039–S040; F08–F09.Later slip-law bodies and definitive bill actions.A current crawl or publisher index supplies a complete enactment/citator audit.Retry official public-law and legislative-status bodies through ordinary public access.
B20 — Eligibility versus later outcomes. Excluded beyond boundary.Eligibility/election does not establish confirmation, discharge, feasibility or guarantor treatment. C055–C057, C101; S005–S006.All plan, claim, lien, guarantee and outcome facts; additional law outside scope.Eligibility is a recommendation to file or a promise of release/recovery.No further inquiry within this pass; a separately authorized component would require its own statutory framework.
B21 — Individual counseling/exception unknown. Answered at statutory level.Apply §109(h)’s individual-filed-petition wording and complete exceptions; none is automatic. C050–C053; S004, S033.Briefing, approval, request, district determination, certification and court-determination facts.Assume age, urgency, disability label or business debt excuses compliance.Recheck §109(h) and §111(a); no agency roster or actual record.
B22 — No §341 meeting / specialized route. Partial.§341(e) and §1161 can affect the meeting predicate; no substitute Rule1020 deadline is supplied here. C048, C091; S022, S024, S015.Applicable legal route and any authorized dispensation.Invent a conclusion date or treat an absent meeting as an unlimited objection period.Examine any national rule amendment specifically addressing the missing trigger; disputed procedure remains held.
B23 — Late election or amended designation. Partial.Rule1009’s general amendment permission does not resolve the late-election issue expressly left open by the2022 note. C090; S015–S016.Procedural posture and legal authority for the proposed late action.Guaranteed late election or automatic rejection in every circumstance.Read any later national Rule1020 amendment or official explanatory note; no case search.
B24 — Blank form versus substantive law. Answered.Forms request information and elections; Rule9009(c) requires consistency with statute/rules. C095–C098; S015, S034–S036.Every actual entry, filing, signature and legal classification.An official checkbox proves facts or changes equality at the cap.Recheck current blank form version and national instructions without entering information.
B25 — Future rules/forms. Answered as status distinction.The accessed2026 order specifies December1 effectiveness; it is not October27 procedure. C094; S018.Any subsequent order/legislation altering effectiveness.Apply future text early because it appears on an official current website.Recheck the promulgation order and official pending-amendment page.
B26 — Specialized financial institution or railroad. Partial.§109 contains specific categories and exceptions with incorporated definitions; the obsolete §409 reference and specialized railroad interaction remain unresolved. C043–C048, C106–C109; S004, S024, S026–S032.Statutory category and operative specialized exception history.All financial businesses are excluded, or an exception applies from a name alone.Read the relevant public statutory/repeal history and generic regulations; no institution, license or case query.

Log itemRead or attempted source/actionOutcome and treatment
F01 — Core statutory readingS001–S007 and supporting Code sections.Complete material bodies were read as stated in the registry. Long sections were read in selected complete subsections; no whole-Code or whole-history claim is made. Earlier and later views of the same provision are one authority, not independent corroboration.
F02 — §1182 retrieval failuresEarlier version-specific §1182 and preliminary-view routes failed; the V134 body was recovered. A later direct V134 retry also failed, while reopening the retrieved source succeeded.Substantive findings use the successfully read body, S001 / turn178view4. The failed attempts are access events, not evidence of repeal or missing law.
F03 — Other Code recovery/version limitsDirect current requests for §1161 and §761 failed; V124 §1161 and V121 §761 were read. §1185 first failed directly and was recovered through the official current-edition link.Older displayed compilation boundaries are retained in S024/S027. S042 is the recovered V134 body. No unexplained promotion of an older page to a complete current-history audit.
F04 — Original 2022 Acthttps://uscode.house.gov/statutes/pl/117/151.pdf failed.The complete Act was recovered from GPO at S014. Failure of one official host did not become a gap in the selected Act’s body.
F05 — Incomplete Federal Register packetsInitial packets https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-02-04/pdf/2022-02419.pdf and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-02-12/pdf/2019-02075.pdf included preceding material and only the beginning of the relevant notice.They were not treated as complete notices. Complete instruments were recovered as S009 and S010. Unrelated adjacent material was excluded.
F06 — Repealed clearing-organization cross-referenceCurrent §109’s reference note identifies former FDICIA §409 / 12 U.S.C. §4422 as repealed. Attempts to obtain the relevant §4422 body did not resolve its present operation.The special §109 language is reported exactly as an exception requiring further public-law history. No conclusion that the exception vanished or unquestionably remains usable is supplied.
F07 — PDF/form inspection limitsParsed Form101 and Form201 text was read. Screenshot requests returned only an image placeholder rather than inspectable image content.No pixel or visual-form inspection is claimed. Form201’s wording comparison is based on parsed material text. No form was filled, signed or transmitted.
F08 — H.R.7730 current statushttps://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7730 and https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7730/all-actions returned restricted-fetch errors. The official House activity page rendered an unpopulated application shell.Enrolled text and metadata were read at S039; Senate passage item at S043. No security workaround was attempted. Enactment remains unverified. Search snippets and third-party status summaries were not used as substitute evidence.
F09 — Post-compilation public lawsOFR register S040 listed PL119-135 and119-136. PDF and HTML bodies at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ135/pdf/PLAW-119publ135.pdf, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ136/pdf/PLAW-119publ136.pdf, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ135/html/PLAW-119publ135.htm, and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ136/html/PLAW-119publ136.htm were inaccessible. Congress.gov’s public-law list also failed.Register titles and dates were not used to assert that the unread laws contain no pertinent amendment. This is a disclosed currentness gap.
F10 — Historical/proposed/future separationS011–S014 historical legislation; S038 interim rule; S039/S044 enrolled/reported legislation; S018 future rules/forms.Historical text, expired expansion, enrolled proposal and future-effective rules are separately labeled. Neither a package filename nor an index heading was treated as an operative-law determination.
F11 — Search-result and adjacent-content disciplineGeneric searches sometimes returned unrelated case or nonprimary material; official pages sometimes included unrelated adjacent notices or navigation.Those materials were not used as substantive authority. No actual case, docket, debtor, issuer, provider, license, property or identifying record was queried.
F12 — Source history boundaryMaterial source credits, amendments, effective-date notes, original threshold legislation and adjustment notices were read.This is a focused history sufficient to expose the identified transitions and gaps. It is not a full citator, exhaustive amendment history, session-law audit or judicial review.

That is the compilation boundary, not proof that every later enactment or judicial development was audited. The OFR register accessed here was reviewed October 26 and listed laws through 119-136, approved October 22. Those later slip-law bodies and definitive latest status of H.R. 7730 were inaccessible. Consequently, the October 27 currentness conclusion is qualified.

Section 1182(2) defines “debtor in possession” as the debtor unless removed under §1185(a). Under that incorporated provision, a party in interest may request removal; after notice and a hearing, the court must order removal for cause, including fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, gross mismanagement before or after commencement, or failure to perform obligations under a confirmed Subchapter V plan. Section 1185(b) permits reinstatement on a party’s request after notice and a hearing. These are separate from initial eligibility and election.

Section 101(51D)(A), subject to all of subparagraph (B), requires a person engaged in commercial or business activities. It expressly includes an affiliate of that person that is also a Title 11 debtor and excludes a person whose primary activity is the business of owning single asset real estate. Neither “small business” branding nor ownership of a business substitutes for these predicates.

At least 50% of the debts described in §101(51D)(A) must have arisen from the commercial or business activities of the debtor. The statutory syntax connects the percentage to the counted debt category, including its exclusions. It is not a percentage of revenue, assets, creditors, payments or an owner’s combined financial affairs. Exactly 50% satisfies this proportion condition.

Its reporting duty is suspended while an issue is registered under §12; that does not establish freedom from §13 reporting. Its separate fiscal-year suspension excludes the registration-effective fiscal year and requires each relevant non-asset-backed class to have fewer than 300 holders of record at the year’s beginning, or the stated 1,200 threshold for the specified banking categories. Similar-character/right securities form a class; SEC rules may define record holding. Foreign-government and political-subdivision securities are excluded.

“Single asset real estate” requires real property constituting a single property or project, other than residential property with fewer than four residential units, generating substantially all gross income of a debtor who is not a family farmer, with no substantial business conducted there other than operating the real property and incidental activities. The §101(51D) exclusion additionally asks whether the person’s primary activity is the business of owning that SARE. One property, four units or rental income alone does not complete the test.

Under §303, an involuntary petition commences the case, but the order-for-relief mechanism is separate, including §303(h). Section 102(6) refers to entry of the order. Commencement, petition filing and order entry therefore must not be treated as universally different or universally identical.

Section 348(a) generally preserves the original petition, commencement and order-for-relief dates on conversion, except as provided in (b) and (c). Subsection (b) supplies specified order-date treatment for its enumerated provisions, subject to a for-cause order; (c) addresses §§342 and 365(d). Section 101(51D) is not among those enumerated provisions. A later conversion or election therefore cannot simply be assumed to restart §104’s commencement trigger or create a new debt-measurement event. Disputed conversion applications remain held.

In an involuntary Chapter 11 case, Rule 1020(a) requires the same information in a statement filed within 14 days after the order for relief. The case proceeds according to the debtor’s statement unless and until the court orders that the statement is incorrect.

Rule 9014 requires relief in a contested matter by motion, with reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing. A response is required only if the court orders it. The motion uses Rule 9006(d)’s timing and Rule 7004’s service manner; later papers use the prescribed civil-rule service method.

For a period stated in days, Rule 9006(a) excludes the triggering day, counts intervening weekends/holidays, and carries a last day falling on a weekend/legal holiday to the next qualifying day. Clerk inaccessibility has separate rules unless the court orders otherwise. Electronic filing ordinarily ends at midnight in the court’s time zone; other filing ends at scheduled clerk closing, unless statute, local rule or order sets otherwise. “Next day” follows the direction of measurement. Legal holidays include the listed federal observances, President/Congress-declared holidays, and—when measuring after an event—specified state holidays. No actual calendar is calculated.

Section 341(a) ordinarily requires the U.S. trustee to convene and preside at a meeting within a reasonable time after the order for relief. Section 341(e) permits the court, on a party’s request after notice and a hearing and for cause, to dispense with a meeting if a plan was filed and acceptances solicited before commencement. Together with §1161’s railroad exception, this creates circumstances where the ordinary meeting-conclusion trigger cannot simply be assumed. No substitute deadline is invented.

Form 201 Q8’s debt-size checkbox uses “less than $3,424,000,” whereas §101(51D)(A) permits debt not exceeding the operative cap. Rule 9009(c) requires forms to be construed consistently with the Code and rules. The form does not turn the statutory inclusive boundary into a strict one.

For mixed debts, the counted-debt total and business-debt numerator must be separately characterized. Ownership of an entity does not by itself establish that its liabilities are the owner’s debts, that an owner’s liability is noncontingent/liquidated, or that it arose from the owner’s commercial/business activities. No universal result follows for individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits or groups.

A creditor includes the specified pre-order claimholder, holder of the enumerated estate claims, or community claimholder. Equity security includes the specified corporate share/similar interest, limited-partner interest and nonconversion warrant/right; its holder must hold the debtor’s equity security. An indenture is the specified instrument with an outstanding claim, property-lien claim or equity security, excluding a voting-trust certificate; an indenture trustee is its trustee.

Corrections, review and scope

Read the evidence with its boundaries. These are saved research components, including revisions. A scoped coordinator review checks selected evidence; it does not certify every claim, a complete jurisdiction, current law or individual applicability. Dates and access limits remain attached to the records.
