Sec. 105-55.003  Antitrust, fraud, tax, interagency claims, and claims 
over $100,000 excluded.

    (a) The standards in this part relating to compromise, suspension, 
and termination of collection activity do not apply to any debt based in 
whole or in part on conduct in violation of the antitrust laws or to any 
debt involving fraud, the presentation of a false claim, or 
misrepresentation on the part of the debtor or any party having an 
interest in the claim. The standards of this part relating to the 
administrative collection of claims do apply, but only to the extent 
authorized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a particular case. Upon 
identification of a claim based in whole or in part on conduct in 
violation of the antitrust laws or any claim involving fraud, the 
presentation of a false claim, or misrepresentation on the part of the 
debtor or any party having an interest in the claim, the General 
Services Administration (GSA) will promptly refer the case to the GSA 
Office of Inspector General (OIG). The OIG has the responsibility for 
investigating or referring the matter, where appropriate, to DOJ for 
action. At its discretion, DOJ may return the claim to GSA for further 
handling in accordance with the standards of this part.
    (b) This part does not apply to tax debts.
    (c) This part does not apply to claims between GSA and other Federal 
agencies.
    (d) This part does not apply to claims over $100,000.
