Sec. 901.10  Analysis of costs.



    Agency collection procedures should provide for periodic comparison 

of costs incurred and amounts collected. Data on costs and corresponding 

recovery rates for debts of different types and in various dollar ranges 

should be used to compare the cost effectiveness of alternative 

collection techniques, establish guidelines with respect to points at 

which costs of further collection efforts are likely to exceed 

recoveries, assist in evaluating offers in compromise, and establish 

minimum debt amounts below which collection efforts need not be taken.
