     Subpart C_Collection of Debts by the Government Under the Debt 

                         Collection Act of 1982

 

Sec. 11.56  Analysis of costs.



    The ACO shall 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 the 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. Cost and recovery data 

should also be useful in justifying adequate resources for an effective 

collection action.
