              CHAPTER 105--GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
 
PART 105-55--COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OWED THE UNITED STATES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 105-55.002  Purpose.

    In keeping with the suggestion in the preamble to the amended 
Federal Claims Collection Standards and the directives in the Debt 
Collection Act of 1982 and the Federal Claims Collection Standards as to 
administrative offset and the collection of interest and charges, this 
part provides procedures for the General Services Administration to 
collect, compromise, or terminate collection action on claims owed to 
the United States arising from activities under GSA jurisdiction. It 
implements the Federal Claims Collection Act as amended by the Debt 
Collection Act. It supplements the regulations published jointly by the 
General Accounting Office and the Department of Justice. It sets forth 
procedures by which GSA:
    (a) Will collect claims owed to the United States;
    (b) Will determine and collect interest and other charges on those 
claims;
    (c) Will compromise claims; and
    (d) Will refer unpaid claims for litigation.
