    (2) That a designated Corporation official has reviewed the debt and 
determined that it is valid;

and that the debt will be considered delinquent if you do not pay it 
within 30 days of the date of the notice;
    (4) The Corporation's policy concerning interest, penalty charges, 
and administrative costs (see Sec. 2506.18), including a statement that 
such assessments must be made against you unless excused in accordance 
with the FCCS and this part;
    (5) That you have the right to inspect and copy disclosable 
Corporation records pertaining to your debt, or to receive copies of 
those records if personal inspection is impractical;

writing and signed by both you and the designated Corporation official, 
for voluntary repayment of the debt (see Sec. 2506.19);
    (7) The address, telephone number, and name of the Corporation 
official available to discuss the debt;
    (8) Possible collection actions that might be taken if the debt is 
not paid within 60 days of the notice, or arrangements to pay the debt 
are not made within 60 days of the notice (see Sec. 2506.15 for a 
fuller description of possible actions);
    (9) That the Corporation may suspend or revoke any licenses, 
permits, or other privileges for failure to pay a debt; and
    (10) Information on your opportunity to obtain a review concerning 
the existence or amount of the debt, or the proposed schedule for offset 
of Federal employee salary payments (see Sec. 2506.16).
    (b) The Corporation will respond promptly to communications from 
you.
    (c) Exception to entitlement to notice, hearing, written responses,

from the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section--
    (1) Any adjustment to pay arising out of an employee's election of 
coverage or a change in coverage under a Federal benefits program 
requiring periodic deductions from pay, if the amount to be recovered 
was accumulated over 4 pay periods or less;
    (2) A routine intra-agency adjustment of pay that is made to correct 
an overpayment of pay attributable to clerical or administrative errors 
or delays in processing pay documents, if the overpayment occurred 
within the 4 pay periods preceding the adjustment and, at the time of 
such adjustment, or as soon thereafter as practical, the individual is 
provided written notice of the nature and the amount of the adjustment 
and point of contact for contesting such adjustment; or
    (3) Any adjustment to collect a debt amounting to $50 or less, if, 
at the time of such adjustment, or as soon thereafter as practical, the 
individual is provided written notice of the nature and the amount of 
the adjustment and a point of contact for contesting such adjustment.
