Sec.  89.25  Collection by administrative offset.

    (a) Whenever feasible, after a debtor fails to pay a claim, request 
a review of a claim, or make an arrangement for payment following a 
demand made in accordance with Sec.  89.21, DOT shall collect claims 
under this part by means of administrative offset against obligations of 
the United States to the debtor pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3716 and 4 CFR 
102.3. Salary offset against present or former employees of the United 
States is not governed by this part (see 49 CFR part 92).
    (b) The Department shall notify the debtor in writing in conformance 
with 31 U.S.C. 3716 and the FCCS of its intent to collect the debt by 
offset, unless the debtor pays the debt in full, including all interest, 
administrative charges, and penalties, or executes an agreement to pay 
the debt by installment at terms acceptable to DOT.
    (c) In making collection by administrative offset under 31 U.S.C. 
3716, DOT must do so in accordance with the requirements set forth in 
Sec.  89.21(b)(1-6). (See also procedures for recovery of debts to the 
United States by salary offset, 49 CFR part 92.)
