In Chapter 7 cases, all notices required by Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a), except clause 4 thereof, and which are mailed after the expiration of the time for the filing of proofs of claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3002(c) may, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court be mailed only to: (1) creditors whose claims have been filed; (2) creditors, if any, who are still permitted to file claims by reason of an extension granted under Bankruptcy Rule 3002(c)(6); and (3) any entities which have requested notice.
