    (a) Notification by debtor. A debtor who intends to inspect or copy 
Department records related to the debt must send a letter to the 
Departmental unit workout group employee specified in Sec. 21.4(b)(4) 
stating his or her intentions. The letter must be postmarked or received 
by the Department within 30 calendar days of the date of the 
Department's first demand letter.
    (b) Department response. In response to timely notification by the 
debtor as described in paragraph (a) of this section, the Departmental 
unit workout group will notify the debtor within 10 days of the request 
of the location and time when the debtor may inspect or copy agency 
records related to the debt, as well as provide the debtor with the name 
and telephone number of the contact person who may provide assistance to 
the debtor for ensuring that copies are made of all appropriate 
documents related to the debt. The debtor may also request that such 
records be copied and mailed. The responsible Department official(s)

debtor's request for access, or mail the records to the debtor within 
such time period. Mailing of records by Departmental official(s) will be

review the records and pay the debt or to petition the Department of a 
review of the determination of indebtedness.
