Sec. 30.19  Review of cost effectiveness of collection.

    Periodically, the Secretary will compare costs incurred and amounts 
collected. Data on costs and corresponding recovery rates for debts of 
different types and in various dollar ranges will 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.
