Sec. 15.2  Definitions.

    Administrative offset means withholding money payable by the United 
States Government to, or held by the Government for, a person to satisfy 
a debt the person owes the United States Government.
    Claim and debt are used synonymously and interchangeably for the 
purposes of this part. These terms refer to money or property which has 
been determined by an appropriate NRC official to be owed to the United 
States by any person, organization, or entity, except another Federal 
agency.
    Delinquent. A debt is considered delinquent if it has not been paid 
by the date specified in the initial written demand for payment or 
applicable contractual agreement with the NRC unless other satisfactory 
payment arrangements have been made by that date. If the debtor fails to 
satisfy obligations under a payment agreement with the NRC after other 
payment arrangements have been made, the debt becomes a delinquent debt.
    License means any license, permit, or other approval issued by the 
Commission.
    Payment in full means payment of the total debt due the United 
States, including any interest, penalty, and administrative costs of 
collection assessed against the debtor.
    Salary offset means an administrative offset to collect a debt under 
5 U.S.C. 5514 by deduction(s) at one or more officially established pay 
intervals from the current pay account of an employee without his/her 
consent.
