    Sec. 1514. Notification to foreign creditors concerning a case
      under this title

-STATUTE-
      (a) Whenever in a case under this title notice is to be given to
    creditors generally or to any class or category of creditors, such
    notice shall also be given to the known creditors generally, or to
    creditors in the notified class or category, that do not have
    addresses in the United States. The court may order that
    appropriate steps be taken with a view to notifying any creditor
    whose address is not yet known.
      (b) Such notification to creditors with foreign addresses
    described in subsection (a) shall be given individually, unless the
    court considers that, under the circumstances, some other form of
    notification would be more appropriate. No letter or other
    formality is required.
      (c) When a notification of commencement of a case is to be given
    to foreign creditors, such notification shall - 
        (1) indicate the time period for filing proofs of claim and
      specify the place for filing such proofs of claim;
        (2) indicate whether secured creditors need to file proofs of
      claim; and
        (3) contain any other information required to be included in
      such notification to creditors under this title and the orders of
      the court.

      (d) Any rule of procedure or order of the court as to notice or
    the filing of a proof of claim shall provide such additional time
    to creditors with foreign addresses as is reasonable under the
    circumstances.
