PART 1650--DEBT COLLECTION--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart C--Procedures for Collection of Debts by Administrative Offset
 
Sec. 1650.304  Notice of administrative offset.

    (a) Advance notice. At least 30 days in advance of collecting any 
debt by administrative offset, notice of the Commission's intent to 
offset shall be given to the debtor by certified mail, return receipt 
requested, at the most current address that is available to the 
Commission. The notice shall provide:
    (1) A description of the nature and amount of the debt and the 
Commission's intention to collect the debt through administrative 
offset;
    (2) An opportunity to inspect and copy the records of the Commission 
with respect to the debt;
    (3) An opportunity to request review of the Commission's 
determinations with respect to the debt; and
    (4) An opportunity to enter into a written agreement for the 
repayment of the amount of the debt.
    (b) Exception to the advance notice requirement. When the procedural 
requirements in this subpart have been previously provided to a debtor 
in connection with the same debt under another statutory or regulatory 
authority, such as for salary offset or pursuant to a notice of audit 
disallowance, the Commission is not required to duplicate those 
procedures before initiating collection of the debt by administrative 
offset.
