following filing fees:
(1) For a case commenced under chapter 7 or 13 of title 11,
$155.
(2) For a case commenced under chapter 9 of title 11, equal to
the fee specified in paragraph (3) for filing a case under

(6) In addition to the filing fee paid to the clerk, a
quarterly fee shall be paid to the United States trustee, for
deposit in the Treasury, in each case under chapter 11 of title
11 for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the
case is converted or dismissed, whichever occurs first. The fee

the calendar month following the calendar quarter for which the
fee is owed.
(7) In districts that are not part of a United States trustee
region as defined in section 581 of this title, the Judicial
Conference of the United States may require the debtor in a case
under chapter 11 of title 11 to pay fees equal to those imposed
by paragraph (6) of this subsection. Such fees shall be deposited
as offsetting receipts to the fund established under section 1931
of this title and shall remain available until expended.
An individual commencing a voluntary case or a joint case under
title 11 may pay such fee in installments. For converting, on
request of the debtor, a case under chapter 7, or 13 of title 11,
to a case under chapter 11 of title 11, the debtor shall pay to the
clerk of the district court or the clerk of the bankruptcy court,
if one has been certified pursuant to section 156(b) of this title,
a fee of the amount equal to the difference between the fee
specified in paragraph (3) and the fee specified in paragraph (1).
(b) The Judicial Conference of the United States may prescribe
additional fees in cases under title 11 of the same kind as the
Judicial Conference prescribes under section 1914(b) of this title.
(c) Upon the filing of any separate or joint notice of appeal or
application for appeal or upon the receipt of any order allowing,
or notice of the allowance of, an appeal or a writ of certiorari $5
shall be paid to the clerk of the court, by the appellant or
petitioner.
(d) Whenever any case or proceeding is dismissed in any
bankruptcy court for want of jurisdiction, such court may order the
payment of just costs.
(e) The clerk of the court may collect only the fees prescribed
under this section.
