The clerk of the Court will supervise preparation of claims dockets in all cases. However, if the number of claimants in any case exceeds 500, the debtor will employ, at debtor's expense, an entity to assist the clerk of the Court in performance of this function under direction of the clerk of the Court, unless excused by order of the judge.

Committee Note: Where the number of claimants is large, the duty of the clerk of the Court to prepare a claims docket is quite heavy. It is appropriate that the cost of this be shared by a debtor in Chapter 11. Administrative Office regulations guide the clerk of the Court in accepting such assistance. See Rule 313 for related requirement.
