(a) CLOSING A CHAPTER 7, 12, OR 13 CASE. The estate in a Chapter

7, 12, or 13 case is presumed to have been fully administered when:

(1) the trustee has filed a final report and final account and

has certified that the estate has been fully administered; and

(2) within 30 days after the filing, no objection to the report

has been filed by the United States trustee or a party in interest.

(b) CHAPTER 7 OR 13—N OTICE OF A FAILURE TO FILE A CERTIFICATE

OF COMPLETION FOR A COURSE ON PERSONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. This subdivision (b) applies if an individual debtor in a

Chapter 7 or 13 case is required to file a certificate under Rule

1007(b)(7) and fails to do so within 45 days after the first date set

for the meeting of creditors under § 341(a). The clerk must promptly notify the debtor that the case will be closed without entering

a discharge if the certificate is not filed within the time prescribed by Rule 1007(c).

(c) CLOSING A CHAPTER 15 CASE.

a copy of the report to the United States trustee, give notice

of its filing, and file a certificate indicating that the notice

has been given to:

(A) the debtor;

trustee or a party in interest does not file an objection within

30 days after the certificate is filed, the case is presumed to

have been fully administered.
