              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 11--CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
    Subpart C--Collection of Debts by the Government Under the Debt 
                         Collection Act of 1982
 
Sec. 11.56  Analysis of costs.

    The ACO shall provide for periodic comparison of costs incurred and 
amounts collected. Data on costs and corresponding recovery rates for 
debts of different types and in various dollar ranges should be used to 
compare the cost effectiveness of alternative collection techniques, 
establish guidelines with respect to the points at which costs of 
further collection efforts are likely to exceed recoveries, assist in 
evaluating offers in compromise, and establish minimum debt amounts 
below which collection efforts need not be taken. Cost and recovery data 
should also be useful in justifying adequate resources for an effective 
collection action.
