It is prepared at least annually for submission to the United States Trustee as part of the interim report.  Most entries on Form 3 can be made from Forms 1 and 2.  Cases are entered in sequence by case number.

The U.S. Trustee Forms 1, 2 and 3 are grouped together and share a Parameters window as well as additional Options.

Accessing the Report

From the Trustee Suite Main Menu toolbar, select ‘Reports’, click on the ‘UST Forms’ tab and select ‘Form 1, 2 and 3’ from the Print Reports screen to invoke the Parameters for Forms 1, 2 and 3 screen (shown below).

Generating the Report

• Generate (three checkbox options):  Select  ‘Form 3’ via the checkbox.
• Trustee:  Select the Trustee number or ‘-All-‘.
• Case:  Select ‘-All-‘ Cases (type “-A” in the Case field).

Note:  Form 3 uses internal logic, per the Executive U.S. Trustee’s office, to decide which cases to pull to the report.  Choosing a single case will show that case without using this logic.

• Date Range:  Enter the appropriate date range.
• Date Signed:  Enter the date the applicable form was signed (the default is the current date).
• Asset Type:  Select ‘Both’, ‘Asset’ or ‘No Asset’ via the radio buttons.
• Sort by:  Select ‘Case Number’ or ‘Case Name’ via the radio buttons.
