Administrative termination does not relieve a committee of any legal responsibility for the payment of any outstanding debt or obligations. Below are the committees that have been referred to the Office of General Counsel from the Reports Analysis Division for potential administrative termination.

They may also be referred to the Office of General Counsel from RAD per the RAD Review and Referral Procedures (see 11 CFR 116.7 for more information on debt settlement plans) .
