11 U.S.C. § 1125

The debtor has an exclusive right to file a Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization within the first 120 days after the chapter 11 case is filed (order for relief). See 11 U.S.C. § 1121(a)

The debtor may request additional time to file disclosure statement and plan by filing a motion and notice to extend exclusivity before the 120-day exclusivity period expires. See Extend/Limit Exclusivity Period.

If the debtor does not file a plan within the exclusivity period, any party in interest, including the debtor, may file a plan. See 11 U.S.C. § 1121(c)(2)

In a Small Business Case, if the court determines that the small business plan contains adequate information, the court may not require a Disclosure Statement. See 11 U.S.C. 1125(f)(1)

In a Subchapter V case, a disclosure statement is not required unless the court orders otherwise. See 11 U.S.C. § 1181(b)
