    These regulations apply to the collection of debts owed to the 
United States arising from transactions with OPM other than those 
involving payments made from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability 
Fund (the Fund), or where a request for an offset from OPM's 
administrative accounts--other than the Fund--is received by OPM from 
another Federal agency. Regulations for other agencies to request OPM's 
Retirement and Insurance Group to recover a debt from the Fund are 
provided at subpart R of part 831 and subpart D of part 845 of title 5, 
Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations are consistent with the 
Federal Claims Collection Standards on Administrative Offset issued 
jointly by the Department of Justice and the General Accounting Office 
as set forth in 4 CFR 102.3.
