HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
LEGISLATIVE STATEMENTS
The House amendment deletes section 701(d) of the
Senate amendment. It is anticipated that the Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure will require the appointment of
an interim trustee at the earliest practical moment in
commodity broker bankruptcies, but no later than
noon of the day after the date of the filing of the peti-
tion, due to the volatility of such cases.
SENATE REPORT NO. 95–989
This section requires the court to appoint an interim
trustee. The appointment must be made from the panel
of private trustees established and maintained by the
Director of the Administrative Office under proposed 28
U.S.C. 604(e).
Subsection (a) requires the appointment of an in-
terim trustee to be made promptly after the order for
relief, unless a trustee is already serving in the case,
such as before a conversion from a reorganization to a
liquidation case.
Subsection (b) specifies that the appointment of an
interim trustee expires when the permanent trustee is
elected or designated under section 702.
Subsection (c) makes clear that an interim trustee is
a trustee in a case under the bankruptcy code.
Subsection (d) provides that in a commodity broker
case where speed is essential the interim trustee must
be appointed by noon of the business day immediately
following the order for relief.
Editorial Notes

serving’’, and added par. (2).
