(a)     Applications for Compensation. Unless otherwise determined by the court, if all or part of the compensation to the debtor's counsel as approved at the time of confirmation of a chapter 13 plan is to be paid through the chapter 13 trustee, and such compensation is not paid in full from a maximum of a sum equal to the aggregate of the first ten plan payments (net of trustee commissions) to be distributed by the trustee, then any remaining compensation will share thereafter with other creditors at such percentage as may be fixed by the court.

          (b)     Notice to All Parties in Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this rule, if the compensation for debtor's counsel is an amount greater than one-third of the amount to be funded through the chapter 13 plan, the compensation is subject to approval upon a hearing held on notice to all parties in interest as provided for under FRPB 2002(a)(7).

          (c)     Ex Parte Application for Postconfirmation Fees. An application that seeks allowance of fees and expenses totaling $500 or less postconfirmation may be presented ex parte if it has the endorsed approval of the debtor and the chapter 13 trustee. If the application lacks the requisite approval, or if such postconfirmation fee will cause the total of compensation to debtor's counsel to exceed the monetary limit of Local Bankruptcy Rule 2002-1(b), the fee must be approved after a hearing as provided in FRBP 2002(a)(7). When additional compensation for postpetition services is approved by the court, said compensation shall be paid through the chapter 13 plan.

          (d)     Supplemental Application for Compensation. The chapter 13 trustee may request, at any time, a supplemental statement pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 329(a) and FRBP 2016(a) to determine whether a hearing should be scheduled to consider whether payments to an attorney are excessive pursuant to FRBP 2017.
