Committee's Comments. 1. The revised captions and lead text refer to services performed after confirmation. The format for the applicants name follows that style used in current fee application forms. 2.Original para 8 is moved to para. Thought is that history of payments should be before the information about post confirmation 3.The Table that is in original para. 4 is better looking that what has been substituted. The substitute version is included to see if the Court wants the form to follow L.B.F. 2016-3 in requiring counsel to show the total of the fees and expenses and to include the date of any prior approval order. 4. Original para. 10 referred to time sheets for time spent since the prior application. The substitute is to refer to time spent after confirmation. 5. Except where "Applicant" is the first word of a sentence, the lower case has been substituted. This conforms to current fee application forms. 6. In paragraph 12, sub (a) is eliminated. The form now refers to a request for an award of compensation for post petition services that will be paid by the chapter 13 trustee. Original paragraph 12 b. is retained.
