will notify the Federal employee in writing that an offset has occurred 
including--
    (i) A description of the payment and the amount of offset taken;
    (ii) The identity of GSA as the creditor agency requesting the 
offset; and
    (iii) A contact point within GSA that will handle concerns regarding 
the offset.
    (2) The information described in paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and 
(b)(1)(iii) of this section does not need to be provided to the Federal

prior notice from the disbursing official or paying agency.
    (c) The disbursing official will advise GSA of the names, mailing 
addresses, and taxpayer identifying numbers of the debtors from whom 
amounts of past-due, legally enforceable debt were collected and of the
