OPINION

THOMAS L. PERKINS, Chief Judge.

This matter concerns the narrow question of the meaning of the word “applicable” as used in 11 U.S.C. § T07(b)(2)(A)(ü)(I). For the following reasons, the Court determines that Congress used this adjective, which modifies “monthly expense amounts under the National Standards and Local Standards ... issued by the Internal Revenue Service,” as a directive to choose the correct amounts set forth in the tables that comprise those standards based upon the debt- or’s circumstances, not as a limitation on the availability of those amounts.
