                CHAPTER I--NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 
PART 15--DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart D--Suspension or Termination of Collection Action
 
Sec. 15.53  Reasons for suspending collection action.

    Collection action may be suspended temporarily:
    (a) When the debtor cannot be located after diligent efforts and 
there is reason to believe that future collection action may be 
sufficiently productive to justify periodic review and action on the 
claim considering the size of the claim and the amount which may be 
realized on it; or
    (b) When the debtor owns no substantial equity in realty and is 
unable to make payments on the Government's claim or effect a compromise 
on it at the time but the debtor's future prospects justify retention of 
the claim for periodic review and action and:
    (1) The applicable statute of limitations has been tolled or started 
anew; or
    (2) Future collection can be effected by offset notwithstanding the 
statute of limitations.
