(c) An interim trustee serving under this sec- tion is a trustee in a case under this title. (Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2604; Pub. L. 99–554, title II, § 215, Oct. 27, 1986, 100 Stat. 3100.) 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 AMENDMENTS 1986—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 99–554 designated existing provisions as par. (1), substituted ‘‘the United States trustee shall appoint’’ for ‘‘the court shall appoint’’, ‘‘586(a)(1)’’ for ‘‘604(f)’’, ‘‘that is serving’’ for ‘‘that was serving’’, and added par. (2). Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1986 AMENDMENT Effective date and applicability of amendment by Pub. L. 99–554 dependent upon the judicial district in- volved, see section 302(d), (e) of Pub. L. 99–554, set out as a note under section 581 of Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure. § 702. Election of trustee (a) A creditor may vote for a candidate for trustee only if such creditor— (1) holds an allowable, undisputed, fixed, liq- uidated, unsecured claim of a kind entitled to distribution under section 726(a)(2), 726(a)(3), 726(a)(4), 752(a), 766(h), or 766(i) of this title; (2) does not have an interest materially ad- verse, other than an equity interest that is not substantial in relation to such creditor’s in- terest as a creditor, to the interest of creditors entitled to such distribution; and
