Sec.  17.101  Coordinating administrative offset with another Federal 

agency.



    (a) When HUD is owed the debt. When the Department is owed a debt, 

but another Federal agency is responsible for making the payment to the 

debtor against which administrative offset is sought, the other agency 

shall not initiate the requested administrative offset until the 

Department provides the agency with a written certification that the 

debtor owes the Department a debt (including the amount and basis of the 

debt and the due date of the payment) and that the Department has 

complied with these regulations.

    (b) When another agency is owed the debt. The Department may 

administratively offset money it owes to a person who is indebted to 

another agency if requested to do so by that agency. Such a request must 

be accompanied by a certification by the requesting agency that the 

person owes the debt (including the amount) and that the person has been 

given the procedural rights required by 31 U.S.C. 3716 and 4 CFR part 

102.
