Important Notice: Bankruptcy Noticing Center Service Disruption

Due to a nationwide cybersecurity incident affecting the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) since Friday, October 9, 2026, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska is currently experiencing an interruption in the transmission of official court notices.

As a result, the BNC is temporarily unable to process and distribute electronic and paper notices on behalf of the Court.

The following websites and services are also affected:

• Bankruptcy Noticing Center: bnc.uscourts.gov
• Bankruptcy Notices: bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov
• Electronic Bankruptcy Notices: notices.uscourts.gov
• National Creditor Registration Service (NCRS): ncrs.uscourts.gov

The Court's CM/ECF system remains operational. Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) continue to be transmitted to registered electronic filers through CM/ECF. Service upon non-electronic parties of orders and notices entered by the Court will be done manually by the Clerk's Office via first class mail.

Setting and Noticing 341 Meetings. 341 meetings for cases filed on or after October 9, 2026, will not be set until the BNC has resumed operations.

Information for Attorneys, Trustees, and Registered Electronic Filers

• Monitor CM/ECF: Court dockets remain accessible. Registered users should continue receiving NEFs for electronically filed documents.
• Verify Notices and Deadlines: Do not rely on BNC confirmations during this disruption. Review case dockets through CM/ECF or PACER to verify hearing dates, deadlines, orders, and other case activity.
• Access to Creditor Mailing Matrices: The BNC disruption is also affecting CM/ECF users' access to the three-column mailing matrix. Until resolved, CM/ECF users seeking to serve pleadings and delegated notices/orders may access the current list of creditors and addresses within a case through the following process:
• Accessing the Current List of Creditors and Parties to a Case:
  • Select "Query" from the top menu in CM/ECF.
  • Input the case number and select the "Run Query" button.
  • For the current list of creditors Select the "Creditor" link.
  • The next screen will ask what Creditor type that you are searching for. You may leave the "Creditor type" selection blank and select "Run Query" to list all creditors.
  • The next screen will display the current list of creditors and addresses to assist with service.
  • For the current list of parties and attorneys Select the "Party" link.
  • Please note that the list of creditors does not include all interested parties to a case, such as the debtor(s), trustees, or the U.S. Trustee. Therefore, parties and counsel should review service requirements to ensure that notice is provided to all appropriate parties, including those not listed on CM/ECF's list of creditors.
• Contact the Clerk's Office: For questions regarding your bankruptcy case, upcoming hearings, or notices, contact the Clerk's Office at (907) 271-2655.

Court Hearings and Deadlines

All scheduled court hearings and existing deadlines remain in effect unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

Parties should continue to monitor their cases and comply with applicable deadlines and court orders.

The BNC service disruption does not automatically extend filing deadlines or postpone scheduled hearings. Any request for an extension of time or other relief must be made in accordance with applicable law and court procedures and is subject to judicial determination.

Additional Information

The Court is monitoring the nationwide BNC disruption and working to assess its impact on the transmission and delivery of official court notices.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these services are restored.

Updates will be posted on the Court's website as additional information becomes available.
