                       HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES                   

                         SENATE REPORT NO. 95-989                     
      Any party in interest may object to the confirmation of a plan,
    as distinguished from merely rejecting a plan. An objection to
    confirmation is predicated on failure of the plan or the procedures
    employed prior to confirmation to conform with the requirements of
    chapter 13. The bankruptcy judge is required to provide notice and
    an opportunity for hearing any such objection to confirmation.
