Sec. 15.32  Contracting for collection services.

    The NRC may contract for collection services in order to recover 
delinquent debts only if the debts are not subject to the DCIA 
requirement to transfer debts to Treasury for debt collection services, 
e.g. debts that are less than 180 days delinquent. However, the NRC 
retains the authority to resolve disputes, compromise claims, suspend or 
terminate collection action, and initiate enforced collection through 
litigation. When appropriate, the NRC shall contract for collection 
services in accordance with the guidance and standards contained in 31 
CFR chapter IX, parts 900-904.
