Sec.  1650.305  Agency review.

    (a) A debtor may dispute the existence of the debt, the amount of 
the debt, or the terms of repayment. The request to review the disputed 
debt must be received by the Director of the Financial Management 
Division within 30 calendar days of the debtor's receipt of the pre-
offset notice.
    (b) If the debtor requests an opportunity to inspect or copy the 
Commission's records concerning the debt, then the debtor will have 10 
business days from the date of inspection or from receipt of the mailed 
documents for review.
    (c) Pending review of the disputed debt, transactions in any of the 
debtor's account(s) maintained in the Commission may be temporarily 
suspended to the extent of the debt that is owed. Depending on the type 
of transaction, the suspension could preclude payment, withdrawal, or 
transfer, as well as prevent the payment of interest or discount due 
thereon. Should the dispute be resolved in the debtor's favor, the 
suspension will be lifted immediately.
    (d) During the review period, interest, penalties, and 
administrative costs authorized under the Federal Claims Collection Act 
of 1966, as amended (31 U.S.C. 3711), will continue to accrue.
